This Beatles song really doesn't sound 50 years old.

you think a psychedelic song w/a sitar backing doesn't sound 50 years old?

50 years later, it's still ahead of its time.

EFA: same for this one, more than 40 years later... John Lennon #9 dream

So by implication, essentially every other Beatles song sounds 50 years old.

Did The Beatles invent punk rock with "Helter Skelter"?

The mashup of this song with "Within You, Without You" on the LOVE album is fricking awesome.

That was the first song whose sound was engineered by Geoff Emerick, who had just turned 18 before this recording. He put the drum mics dangerously close to the snare, hence that loud snare sound. John Lennon told him something like "I want to sound like a monk yelling from the top of a mountain 10,000 miles away" and of course Emerick had no idea what the hell he was talking about, but somehow he nailed it according to Lennon.

is it really too much trouble to name the song or are we just going for a dramatic effect?

The version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the Beatles Anthology album is also great.
