Revolution #9 - The Beatles (is this really a song?)


Well.......we could have a debate on how we define a "song". Does it have to have lyrics and so on? But Revolution #9 is a significent composition in it's own right. Along with many other firsts, John Lennon was the first to create a composition using loops in Revolution #9. Since this was pre-computers, he acomplished this by recording short bits of everyday sounds from everyday objects. Then he re-recorded them and strung them together - creating the loops. In the age of computer technology, loops are almost overused as it is so easy to do. But when John Lennon created Revolution #9, it was unheard of. So much so that the rest of the group did not want this on the album. After all, who would want to listen to the same sound over and over? ;)

I know, this is off topic. Sometime I just can't help myself. :D
