Top 5 great Beatle songs Ian McDonald rubbished in his book REvolution in the head
1-Across the universe-He called it 'babyish'
2-Helter skelter-He wrote it was 'ridiculous, McCartney shrieking weedily against a massively tape-echoed backdrop of out-of-tune thrashing.' Among other things.
3-Glass onion-It is apparently 'unlike able'. Although he does say the string coda at the end is 'doubtless meant to convey the dull-wittedness of the literal-minded' which is one heck of a brilliant observation imo
4-Piggies-An 'embarrasing blot' on Georges discography
5-Maxwell's silver hammer-'s******ing nonsense'
Ian McDonald had his own 'revolution in the head' when he blew his brains out in 2003
