How about the bongoes on A Hard Day's Night?  It's got a tempo and
structure right out of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, which makes the song
have a subliminal cartoon feel that goes perfectly with the concept of
the movie.  Brilliant!  Phenomenal!  How important was Ringo to the
band, eh?  Did he even realize what he was doing?  Was he instructed
by Sir George or Sir Paul?  Or did he just have this natural flair for
the perfect percussion add-on?  Man, I would love to hear the story
about how this bongoes part evolved!

Not to mention A Chord Like No Other -- a chord universally
recognized, a chord that singlehandedly announces the rock era, a
chord that, year after year, your guitarist friends sit around talking
about, saying they know how to duplicate it, or saying that it can't
be duplicated without at least two guitars or a guitar and a piano,
etc., etc.

Or the lyric trade-off, necessitated by the range of the song but
lending a beautifully responsive quality to the main verse and
refrain.

Or the background combination of the hard, percussive feel of the
acoustic strumming with the steady cymbal ride.

Or the overwhelming presence of the Rick 360/12.

And on and on.  And this is just one song, composed and finished in a
flash under pressure!
