re: More fond of "Here Comes the Sun" myself :-)

The team that put together the Voyager Interstellar Record wanted that very Beatles song on the music portion. The Beatles were all very happy to comply, but the record company that actually owned their music ended up making it not happen. So the Beatles were not immortalized in space for one billion years along with Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and a few lucky others.

You can read about it in the book Murmurs of Earth.
