‘The Sound Of Silence’ — Simon & Garfunkel
This is a tune we’re sure you’ve heard before. The Ranker community voted the film “The Sound of Silence” 10th. It was included on Simon & Garfunkel’s debut album, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.,” in 1964. In January 1966, it debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and it also charted in the top ten in Austria, Australia, the Netherlands, West Germany, and Japan. Despite the fact that it was included in The Graduate, the duo wrote the song “Mrs. Robinson” just for it. “The simplicity of the melody and the words, which represent youthful separation,” Paul Simon says, is the song’s secret.

‘A Day In The Life’ — The Beatles
One of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s final true collaborations, this song is considered one of their best. “A Day in the Life” was the dramatic conclusion to the Beatles’ 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Some of the musicians who have covered it include Barry Gibb, Jeff Beck, The Fall, and Phish. Since 2008, Paul McCartney has begun singing the song live. Three years later, Rolling Stone dubbed it the Beatles’ best song. It is the third most popular song in the history of popular music, according to Acclaimed Music. It’s simple to see why this is the case.
