In My Life
This Rubber Soul track sparked debate between John Lennon and Paul McCartney over who wrote the melody, though Lennon wrote the lyrics and George Martin contributed the piano solo bridge. Mojo named it the best song of all time in 2000, and Rolling Stone ranked it number 23 on its 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Lennon considered it his first real major piece of work because it was the first time he wrote about his own life.
