2. I Want To Hold Your Hand

The lyrics are simple and unexceptional; nevertheless it was the group’s first American number one hit. But this song’s significance is mainly due to the fact that it was the Fab Four’s first record to be made using four-track equipment. Without a doubt, multitrack recording has to be one of the most groundbreaking processes in music’s history, and “I Want to Hold your Hand” is a symbol of that revolution.
