Really amazing!

* [http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_releases/beatles_unknown_hard_days_night_chord_mystery_solved_using_fourier_transform '''The Opening Chord to "A Hard Day's Night" Solved by a Mathematician!'''] It’s the most famous chord in rock 'n' roll, an instantly recognizable twang rolling through the open strings on George Harrison’s 12-string Rickenbacker.

Pollack started to analyze the songs of the Beatles. His site now contains the analysis of the entire official Beatles' canon, consisting of 187 songs and 25 covers, with an alphabetical, a canonical and a chronological index, as well as a short introduction. Dig it!
