This survey is about popular music. Sometimes we think it all sounds the same but once in a while something unique comes along.

1. Here is the golden oldie that inspired this survey. It started with the contents of a morning newspaper being read over breakfast and it morphed into something spectacular. It was called "A Day In The Life." The video was taken at the finale which was turned into what was known at the time as "A Happening". (If the copyright police block the clip, you can watch it here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNsCeOV4GM Can you think of any other song that sounds like this?

2. The technology available 60 years ago was rudimentary compared to what is available today. Even 10 years after the previous example, one group that stretched it to its limits was 10cc and their song "I'm Not In Love." Can you think of another song that sounds like this?

3. There are so many unique examples from The Beatles, it hardly seems fair to give them another slot in the survey, so I will end with a song I never tire of listening to. Thunderclap Newman was a British rock band that Pete Townshend of the Who and Kit Lambert formed in 1969 in a bid to showcase the talents of John "Speedy" Keen, Jimmy McCulloch, and Andy "Thunderclap" Newman. They had a monster hit with "Something In The Air". Does this song remind you of anything other song?

4. OK, just one more. Musicians are always testing the limits of technology to come up with new sounds. Here is a song that is built around one of those new sounds. 1964's The Crying Game, by Dave Berry and The Cruisers. Does this guitar work make it sound unique?
