History

Musically, the Beatles broadened their sound, most notably with influences drawn from the contemporary folk-rock of the Byrds and Bob Dylan. The album also saw the Beatles broadening ’s instrumental resources, most notably on Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). Although both The Yardbirds and The Kinks had used influences in their music, this track is generally credited as being the first pop recording to use an actual , an Indian stringed instrument, and Norwegian Wood sparked a musical craze for the sound of the novel instrument in the mid-Sixties.

    The version shown is the version that Brian Wilson heard which inspired him to write Pet Sounds. He still considers it the greatest album of all time

    No, this is a mistake; it lists "I've Just Seen a Face" when it should list "Drive My Car." Girl and The Word are correct.
