"Tomorrow Never Knows" has long been my favorite Beatles song, but once again we run into this recurring problem where people aren't content to say simply that something by the Beatles was great piece of music, it has to be the greatest, most wonderful, most influential thing ever put on vinyl.

This is one of my favorited tracks by rock musicians since I really like Jazz more. This song must have sound radical with all those Indian drones and backward sound collages. I could see it's influence on many genres of music. I can't claim Jazz music was exactly using these concepts even though Coltrane was influenced by Indian Music.
