The WORST Beatles songs...

I'm one of the biggest fans out there, but here are some of the songs I never quite warmed up to after a quick glance through the discography...

-"Love Me Do" (just too bland)
-"The Long and Winding Road" (I think I've just heard it too much. It's well-written and heart felt, but I just tend to skip over it each time.)
-"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" (Yeah, it's catchy but also rubbish.)
-about half of the rest of the White Album, to be quite honest... I appreciate the experimentation, but not all of it worked (I did extremely like Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Blackbird, Birthday, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Revolution I [actually better than the more familiar electric guitar version], and Cry Baby Cry)
-Mr. Moonlight (and actually much of the pre-A Hard Day's Night albums)
-those two weird shorter ones on Let It Be (Dig It and Maggie Mae)
-"We Can Work It Out" is pretty bad
-"A Taste of Honey"... oh dear lord terrible
-"The Word" off of Rubber Soul... and I can only take so much of "Michelle"
-"She's Leaving Home" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" from Sgt. Pepper (though... maybe they're not that bad on second thought)

Everyone saying Good Morning Good Morning, I am the Walrus, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Sun King, Yellow Submarine, Drive My Car, Helter Skelter, and Penny Lane (I think there was someone who dared mention Dear Prudence as well... :O) is totally nuts. Hey Bulldog is also quite underrated. I'm also a big fan of the East Indian-ish songs.

no sir, its my second favorite actually.

I love Good Morning Good Morning too!

And the thing is, my (11) worst songs are actually GOOD. The thing is, they are my least favorite beatles songs, if you follow me. They had so many good songs, and my least favorite ones are actually still good.

About Flying, like practically all of the Magical Mystery Tour songs (just to brag, I have both the original MM Double-EP, and the American album (1969, near mint), and I think Flying is a nice psychedelic tune. Hello, Goodbye and All You Need Is Love I like less.

It's a shame that practically always when I talk about music with people, and The Beatles come up, they don't seems to know the Beatles well, and the three songs that seem to be the most famous and they always know, are the songs that I consider among the weakest...

Yesterday, yeah, sorry, eventhough I know it was quite groundbreaking back then; I think it's a bit kitschy.
All You Need Is Love, eventhough I can quite dig it for being a Beatles 'anthem', and the 'She Loves You'-ending is a quite nice little touch.
Let It Be, the album version, the single version is way better, less Spectory, and a bit of a gospel song about the bands' own ending, and because of that quite touching, eventhough a bit corny.

...and hence people look at me with a bit of a frown when I say The Beatles are my favorite band. Then I explain a lot of their best songs were on their albums or lesser known singles etc. Then I like to say "okay, let's listen to this modern remix of a Beatles song", especially to people who like electronic music/ techno, and play Tomorrow Nevet Knows and afterwards say it's not a remix at all, but an original 1966 song. People tend to be quite amzed. You should try it sometimes :)

My least favorites:

Dig It
Maggie Mae
All Together Now
Hello, Goodbye
The Long And Winding Road

Can't think of many more, what amazes me about The Beatles is the diversity and consistant (sp?) quality of their music.

I don't care for that version of "The Long & Winding Road" either. The production and the female chorus do nothing but emphasize the listlessness in Paul's voice. He sounds like he's really tired.
