Love "SFM" a lot but sounds like an also ran to "Jumpin'
Jack Flash,"
where 'Revolution" still makes everyone start singing along.
"Revolution" also had it's unexpected time signature bit, and the
unique guitar sound, as was a habit with them, was also something that
made it stand out.

I remember asking the guard at AR what The Beatles had been up to
lately one day, and he said "Oh I think they've all gone mad. The
other night they were in here and John was just screaming "It's
Alright, alright, alright" for half the evening" and shook his head.
When the record came out, I realized he must have been talking out
this record;)
