‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’ — The Doors
This was the first track on the eponymous debut album by The Doors. “Break on Through (To the Other Side)” was the first single release of the band. It did not fare very well when it was first released as it only reached No. 126 on the charts in the US. Despite this, it is one of their most popular tracks. Jim Morrison told Hit Parader that he penned the song as he was crossing the canals of Venice. “I was walking over a bridge,” he shared. “I guess it’s one girl, a girl I knew at the time.” Elektra Records, the band’s label, removed the “high” from “she gets high” because they knew that it might affect its radio airplay. The truth is that every single re-issue of the track came without the word until the ‘90s rolled in.

‘Here Comes The Sun’ — The Beatles
The Beatles featured “Here Comes the Sun” on the 1969 album called “Abbey Road.” John Lennon and Paul McCartney penned most of their songs, but the credit for this hit goes to none other than George Harrison. It was also clear that lead guitarist was gaining more influence from Indian classical music at the time. He allegedly wrote the song at the home of Eric Clapton, where he went to avoid going to a meeting at the band’s Apple Corps organization. This is one of the most popular songs among fans of the band. By January 2020, it was even the most-streamed Beatles song in the U.K.
