Worst Beatle song?

Rickenbacker · 12-19-2009, 06:23 AM

It's overproduced and lyrically riddled with cliches. It almost sounds like the kind of song they would have written had they reunited in the 80s or something.

Within You Without You is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE

I would have to say that Here There And Everwhere is the worst

This thread really surprised me, I had no idea people were so split on which songs they hated.

I always just considered Octopus' Garden just objectively the worst

Yea - this is a pretty interesting thread. I normally wouldn't participate in a negativity fest like this but for some reason it's fun to know which Beatles songs are hated.
A bunch of my favorite Beatles songs have been called out here.

Like which? Within You Without You for me was the biggest surprise.

Well - I really like the entire White Album except for 2 songs: Birthday and USSR.
So I'm mostly talking about: Helter Skelter, Honey Pie, Why Don't We Do It In The Road, Ob-La-Di, and Piggies - I guess it's not surprising that people don't like them but those are some of the songs that made me appreciate the Beatles in the first place. Same goes for Blue Jay Way - it's one of my favorite things they did. Also, I like the Ringo songs - to me they're a nice break from the Lennon/McCartney machine.

Yeah, I can see what you mean. To be honest, there are probably very few Beatles songs that I actually dislike, so when I say I dislike them I mainly mean it in the context of other Beatles songs.

But the Ringo songs.... ugh. I think I'd be fine with Harrison being the break from Lennon McCartney, and Ringo just kind of.... drumming.

^Nah, it's kinda cool, and works well with the whole album- and like written by Ringo! woah!

Isn't it weird that with the huge numbers of ugly tracks on the white album, rarely it is mentioned?
Tho I'm one of those that love that album fully, but I have noticed a lot of people on MB hating how the white album is made of great tracks and shitty ones.

There are a couple really bad tracks on it. Back In The U.S.S.R., Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Piggies, etc. Also, I never really had any love for Revolution 9. I know it's experimental and stuff, but it always just sounded like a mess to me.

On the other hand of course, you have tracks like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Happiness is a Warm Gun, two of my favorite songs by them.
