Oasis' Gallagher brothers' love of the Beatles is no secret, and on one track off their new album Dig Out Your Soul, the band will pay tribute to John Lennon directly. The ballad "I'm Outta Time" will reportedly feature an audio extract of a John Lennon interview. "Liam has so much passion for the subject," a source told the U.K. Sun, "He's obsessed. That's why the song is so brilliant and poignant." The song is considered a candidate for a future single. Dig Out Your Soul is due out October 7th, with the single "The Shock of the Lightning" preceding it.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
