The Beatles: Ten WORST Songs 

I'm always shocked when I see how many people really dislike Within You Without You. Dumbfounded almost. I LOVE the expert Indian percussion in the weird time signatures, the variety of stringed instruments with their variety of tonalities, the hypnotic vocal melody, etc. I was around 8 when Sgt. Pepper came out and I have ALWAYS been perfectly enchanted by this mystical sounding work of beauty. One of George's best!!

There are a few duffers, I will admit but I certainly wouldn't count Sun King among them. I don't mind Act Naturally, either.

You’ve really got a hold of me? You kidding? This is one of Johns best vocals.

Sun King is honestly one of my favorite songs they ever did, it’s like the musical equivalent of taking a deep breath outside on a perfect day and just feeling content. I love it for the same reasons I do Albatross by Fleetwood Mac and Hold On by John Lennon. Also, Blue Jay Way is another one of my favorite Beatles tunes. At the time that song dropped, it honestly may have been one of the most psychedelic songs ever made, such progressive production on that tune

Slow Down was my first Beatles 45 that I got when it was released. Loved that song. The riff was something new at the time. Hardly a bad song.

There's no way you enjoy Wild Honey Pie more than these songs. Sure, it's less than a minute. But it feels like an eternity! I'm gonna have to come back with my list. I felt a need to mention this.

“Maxwells Silver Hammer” sucks so bad I deleted it from my Beatles catalog of nearly 1000 tunes

Beatle songs are like orgasms and pizza: even when bad, it's pretty good.

Some bold choices! I'm in the crowd that thinks cover versions shouldn't be included and I am mystified by anyone not liking something Smokey Robinson does, but it was of such pronounced interest that I wrestled with it while on my morning constitutional through the burned out ghetto in which I live. I came up with a worst non-cover version 12, which does present an interesting theme and a pose a knotty question - that being why do songs like, for example, You Know My Name, It's Only Love, Don't Pass Me By, Love Me Do, Run For Your Life, Yes It Is, Yellow Submarine or She's a Woman (listen to how many times Lennon completely flubs his guitar part) not make this list? But here are 12 songs that I dont think the Beatles should not have touched with a 10 foot pole: 12/11/10 The ARVOS. The ARVOS is the Abbey Road vortex of suck, that depressing trifecta that follows the gripping Come Together, the less gripping but still eminently listenable Something and then suddenly plunges to O Darling/Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopuses Garden. Two giant ego strokes for Paul and then someone lets Ringo out to sing. Back behind yer Drukmit, ya Goblin! 9 Within You, Without You. Which proffers that the Summer of Love was as much about this as it was Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. For a guy who made such funny, lively movies, Harrison is the dullest. most sanctimonious and boring of songwriters. 8. Only A Northern Song. Is this really only 3:24 long? It seems to hang around with the similar persistence and malodour as a fart in a space station 7. Long, Long, Long. I cant understand a word he's saying. Sometimes I think that's for the best 6. I Me Mine. You're welcome to it, George. 5. I Need You. I can see a theme forming here. Given that they were reduced to releasing Act Naturally, I guess they simply couldn't bin third rate garbage like this, or give it to Freddy and the Dreamer or Chad and Jeremey, or some other non-entity du jour. Oh, and by the way, when it comes to Buck Owens, it isn't Buck, it's his superb guitar player Don Rich who is the money man. 4. Piggies. Music to butcher middle aged Angelinos by. 3. You Like Me Too Much. An uptempo I Need You with out the novelty of the guitar swell pedal it would be described as busywork if Lennon or McCartney had of written it, but given its provenance and author, its just run of the mill garbage 2. Savoy Truffle. There's some interesting things happening here, but it just sounds so bad you can't hear through the murk. And the lyrics? What are they A recitation of the 300 names of Vishnu, or a Hindu prayer for enlightenment or perhaps a listing of the naughtiest positions in the Karma Sutra? I'll let the uninitiated find out for themselves, but suffice to say, it just adds to the general uselessness of the song. 1. Wild Honey Pie. The mob has spoken and the mob is right. 45 odd seconds of McCartney plunking his guitar and screaming like a demented howler monkey. If they'd had played this for Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man, after 30 seconds he would have asked could he have the unsafe dentistry back. And then he does "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"! So - what have we learned. a) the Beatles were far from infallible b) George Martin could have taken a much more forceful hand in quality control c) Odium and opprobrium will be the fate of those who criticize Sun King and d) George Harrison was a bit shit, really. Good presentation, keep 'em coming!

I really like don't bother me.

Surprise that you find Lennon’s vocals on “You Really Got a Hold on Me” ‘uninspired’. I feel like he’s singing his heart out on that one. And when John does that… it’s magic.

The Beatles don’t have ten bad songs. It would be difficult to find one bad song. Some are not as good as others of course but bad? Que buzzer thanks for playing.

I like Revolution 9 because I don't think of it as a song, rather as a sound collage. As for Sun King-I like its druggyness. On the other hand, if it weren't for the rescue job done by the production, I couldn't sit through Maxwell Gardens Silver Octopus.

Coming up next: Leonardo Da Vinci’s worst paintings.

I know lists like this are about as subjective as it gets but I can't believe you didn't have "Mr Moonlight" somewhere in here

Really can't believe how 'Rocky Raccoon' and 'Why Don't We Do It In the Road' didn't get a mention here, it's just so hard to believe that a band who produced such classic time defying songs as 'Fool On The Hill,' 'In My Life,' Strawberry Fields Forever and 'Fool On The Hill' to name but four, could release such utter rubbish!! For me most of their worst songs are on The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be, which, seeing as they were their last three albums means they probably split up around the right time, give or take a year!!

Another excellent episode, thank you. 10 worst Beatles songs? The Beatles were the soundtrack to my youth and I love em to bits but there have been dodgy moments. So…. Out on it’s own at Number 1 has to be the execrable Boys from the PPM album.. it’s supposed to be sung by a girl and even then it’s simply dreadful. The rest in no particular order are: - Mr Moonlight from BfS… what were they thinking? - Run For Your Life from RS… Just clumsy writing and playing. A bum note to end a great album on. - Honey Don’t from BfS… sorry Ringo, it’s just merde. - Dizzy Miss Lizzy from Help… just a filler and nowhere near Beatles standard. - Within You Without You from Sgt Pepper… its simply dull. - Let it Be… dreary and mawkish, see also Yesterday and The Long and Winding Road. - Across the Universe… just dull. - Matchbox from the LTS EP… I know they like to let Ringo sing but this bit of filler does him no favours. - A Taste of Honey from PPM… I know they were just starting, I know it was part of the early live set, I know Paul sings it well. I just don’t like it.

No Mr Moonlight?

I for one love Revolution No.9, White Album wouldn't be the same without it. Disappointed to hear such unnecessarily snarky comments about it.

"Don't bother me" is a harsh choice for my money it's probably the best track on With the Beatles. In a list of the worst Beatles tracks I would certainly include "Why don't we do it in the road", and "You know my name" which are both utter tripe. "Run for your life" would certainly warrant an honoury mention for its sh*tty lyrics

I think "Don't bother me" is a great song, I agree it could do without the kindergarten percussion, but still.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh Darling, Bungalow Bill, Rocky Raccoon, Revolution #1, Wild Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, It's Only A Northern Song, Only A Northern Song, The Inner Light. Dishonorable mentions: Your Mother Should Know, Dig It

To me revolution 9 is not only the worst Beatles song but one of the worst songs of all time

"Blue Jay Way" gets my vote for the most underrated Beatles song ever. I also really like "Do You Want to Know a Secret"; it's one of my favorite early (pre-1965) Beatles songs. I don't know if it's their worst, but for me, the most overrated Beatles song has to be "Hey Jude" -- it really doesn't have much going for it aside from its length. "Run For Your Life" would also be in my bottom ten...it's creepy as hell.

I like Flying. Flying on aircraft mostly but this is Flying. If there's a remaster/remix of Magical Mystery Tour, an extended play of Flying should be included.

I agree with most of this list except for "Act Naturally." I'm not a Country/Western fan, but I always thought it was a fun tune.

The Beatles in their later phases would put out oddities or album tracks. Never meant to be played on the radio. The White Album is a perfect example. This album is intentionally eclectic. Beautiful, haunting, catchy, abrasive, experimental. And they pull if off. Playing that entire album late night is mandatory experience for any serious rock music fan. Btw, I always hate "Mr. Moonlight"

Its a brave challenge to put a list like this together. Revolution #9 is an obvious #1 or number last as it were. I've taken heat from others when I've expressed this. I'll often get the "its a daring experimental avant-garde master piece" drivel. If one separates from reality and tries to see it in that vein, its still a piece of shit by comparison. The real crime, as you mention, is realized when you consider what was left off the album to make room for it. Hey Jude could have been part of the White Album. Think about it. What a spectacular penultimate ending it would have made, only to be followed up by Good Night in the running order. That would would have been a spectacular one-two punch to end the album. Alas, sigh!

Most bands would be happy to have the Beatles worst songs as their own

Not as hard as you would think! 1 - Revolution 9 2 - Within You Without You 3 - Octopus's Garden 4 - Run For Your Life 5 - All Together Now 6 - Lady Madonna 7 - You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) 8 - What's The New Mary Jane 9 - Piggies 10 - Goodnight.... Even the greatest band ever to pick an instrument up have some stinkers!!

Putting sun king on this list is embarrassing

I disagree with most of this list. I'll counter with my "worst" Beatles tracks. 1. A Taste Of Honey. I think the Herb Alpert take was pretty amazing, but not Beatles material. 2. Mr. Moonlight. Not John's best vocals, but that organ solo... yeeech!!!! 3. All Together Now. I guess it's okay for a children's ditty. 4. Baby's In Black. WTF is up with that sour sticky finger guitar solo George??? It must be intentional because he reproduced it accurately live! 4. 'Til There Was You. Did Brian make you guys include a show tune??? 5. Wild Honey Pie. How freaking bored were you, Paul??? 6. Run For Your Life. Not a bad song, but a very bad look for John. 7. Little Child. Another decent performance, but Jeffery Epstein much??? Cringe factor 10!!!! 8. Only A Northern Song. It's on this worst list, but I like it. George was just going through motions to fill a quota for EMI. 9. You Know My Name (Look Up The Number). It's all in good fun. 10. Revolution 9. We can agree at least on one song... or non song. For what it is, it's still cool!

I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't think Revolution 9 is the Beatles worst song, but I listen to a lot of avant garde stuff,

I love “You Really Got A Hold On Me,” both Smoky and The Fabs’ versions. OTOH, I HATE “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” my least favorite Beatles song; I hate it more than”Revolution 9.”

My bottom 10 looks something like this... 10. "Honey Pie" / The Beatles / Album: The Beatles (White Album) (1968) 09. "Boys" / The Beatles / Album: Please Please Me (1963) 08. "Honey Don't" / The Beatles / Album: Beatles For Sale (1964) 07. "You Really Got A Hold on Me" / The Beatles / Album: With the Beatles (1963) 06. "Anna (Go to Him)" / The Beatles / Album: Please Please Me (1963) 05. "Maggie Mae" / The Beatles / Album: Let It Be (1970) 04. “Wild Honey Pie” / The Beatles / Album: The Beatles (White Album) (1968) 03. "Mr. Moonlight" / The Beatles / Album: Beatles For Sale (1964) 02. "Good Night" / The Beatles / Album: The White Album (1968) 01. "Revolution 9" / The Beatles / Album: The Beatles (White Album) (1968)

Love flying and sunking🤓 number 9 is my skip song. Take dizzy miss lizzy and act naturally off the help album and it would make a better classic album for me.

For me the worst Beatles song would have to be You Know My Name (Look Up My Number), though Revolution #9 does rank way up there.

For such a GREAT band, they sure did release a ton of truly awful songs.

I would add Lovely Rita ,When I'm 64 ,Maxwell Silver Hammer ,Rocky Raccoon , and Ohb Bla Di as among the Beatles worst songs. At least the ones I find to be awful By the way ,these were said to be among John Lennon's list of Beatles songs he disliked the most

I'm a huge Beatles fan like the rest of us, but even I admit there were a few stinkers. I agree that their more child-friendly compositions shouldn't be on this list because they still have their fans and they were a stepping stone to some of The Beatle's better work.

I'm glad you did NOT mention Mr. Moonlight, which seems so be everyone's favorite Beatles stinker. I used to think so too when I was a kid but it's actually a very sweet song. It grows on you.

I was never fond of Mr Moonlight although i do like Lennons vocals on it, even a bad Beatles song or cover version is still probably better than most let's be honest, I really struggled to pick 5 let alone ten. Interesting list though Barry and I enjoyed your reasons for picking them Mr Moonlight For you Blue Long and winding road Your Mother should know Dizzy miss Lizzy None of those are bad, just my least favourites

Sun King? Seriously?😂 Now “Yellow Submarine” that sucked.

Not a bad list, of the "bad", I must say. As one who've had the pleasure of the Beatles experience since 1964, only 3 of your selections I'd take exception. Which is pretty good, eh ? You've Really Got a Hold on Me, Don't Bother Me, and Sun King. My list would replace them with Wild Honey Pie, Honey Don't, Mr. Moonlight. To me, these 3 atrocities would add to your other seven for the "worst" !!

‘When I’m 64’ I’ve never liked

..like a musical Shakespeare there is too much reverence given to the Beatles ‘embarrassing’ songs..especially on the white album and Abbey Road..you can almost hear the moans and groans coming from Lennon and Harrison as they struggle to be inspired to write more songs for a band which had lost its initial impetus and direction..George Martin was right about the White Album..and he did them a big favour in turning a mishmash of half written songs into a half written medley..the Beatles knew that were running out of time so wisely split before becoming just another 70’s band..

I’ve always been a huge Beatles fan, but here are my 10 least favorite “Beatles tracks excluding cover tunes: 10. What Goes On - drags down the consistency of the UK Rubber Soul. I prefer the US version even though it’s not the real sequence because those 12 tracks are perfection. 9. Good Night - the worst climax of any Beatles record. If they had used the acoustic version with the harmonies from the outtakes of the White Album this would have been a better result. Too much gloss and anti climatic coming after Revolution 9 and an album full of magic. 8. Yesterday - always found this from early age depressing and overrated compared to other lesser known gems. 7. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - Abbey Road’s nearly perfect except for this number. This is filler. 6. When I’m Sixty Four 5 - The Long And Winding Road - another depressing McCartney ballad 4. She’s Leaving Home 3 - Dig It 2 - Honey Pie 1- Hey Jude - IMHO the most overrated and overplayed Beatles tune. Never understood the hype when there are “so many” better Beatles songs.

I love Maxwell's Silver Hammer!

Yet again your views echo my own Barry! Valid comments on the merit, or not, of including 'Revolution9 'on 'The White Album'. I remember when playing my original vynil copy feeling compelled to lift the stylus just prior to it ,with the added bonus of also avoiding 'Goodnight' in the process. My only additional 'dishonourable mentions' being 'Savoy Truffle' and ' I me Mine'.

"Love Me Do" is my least favorite Beatles song. I dig "Maxwell's" and "Act Naturally." There's a lot of virtue signaling in these comments about "Run For Your Life." Art is meant to express the full range of human emotion and motivation, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Commenting as we go: 10. I like Lennon’s vocals. 9. Agree Boys is weakest on PPM. 8. Sun King is weakest on AR. 7. AN is weakest on Help! (re 9 & 7, covers are low hanging fruit) 6. Nah, I’d say Little Child is weakest on WtB. 5. See 6. I like this cover. 4. I prefer BJW to Flying. 3. Yes weakest on B4S. 2. Haha! I said it. Worst on MMT. 1. Fair enough.

I think that many of their covers are their worst. If their original Sun King is pretty week, especially being on such a great album, but The Ballad of John and Yoko, Inner Light, Old Brown Shoe, What Goes On, Wild Honey Pie, Hold Me Tight, Little Child, and Good Night are all worse than Don't Bother Me.

"When I get Home" from the album "Help" is a putrid, noxious, toxic, not-well-sung, snot loogy. The middle eight lyric (as well as the shuffle beat change) of "When I get home tonight I'm gonna treat you right, I'm gonna love you til the cows come home" is a line I would expect from my neighbor's garage band of 8th graders (who I would praise by the way, but not The Beatles).

I don’t need anyone’s opinion on the Beatles’ worst songs. I like them all…so there!

I really like "Blue Jay Way" because of the effects. For me the very worst of all is the vomit-inducing "Good Night", the final track on the white album. It would have been better had the album finished with "Revolution #9", which I quite like. "Good Night" is like the most sugary, over-the-top pile of drivel ever recorded. Having it sung by Ringo didn't make it any better. Perhaps most people forget it as they never listen to "Revolution #9".

Can’t argue with any of these choices except for Blue Jay Way which I like quite a bit.

I knew "Flying" would be on here. But I dig it, anyway.

I didn't see "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number" mentioned (although it's a bit of fun). I was a kid when "Do You Want To know A Secret" was released, so I don't mind it as I still see this song through a child's perspective. And our trivia host used to always say "Number 9, number 9, number 9" when that number came up in a question or raffle ticket. Some of us got the joke. 😄

Veto on at least three tracks: "Boys" is a nice, funny rocking track, which was always quite effective, especially live. "You really got a hold on me" is an excellent cover, that hardly needs to hide from the original. Lennon sings this quite dynamically and respectfully, the arrangement of the song is absolutely attractive. "Revolution 9" has an interesting aesthetic, the collage was put together in a quite exciting way and sounds like a soundtrack of the rebellious year 1968. However, one shouldn't rate it as a "song", but as what it is: a collage. The Harrison tracks "Blue Jay Way" and "Everybody's trying to be my baby" also have their flaws (Harrison's vocals and "Blue Jay Way" get into an annoying monotony, after an interesting start, over the course of the track), as well as theirs charms. Like "Boys", the Perkins cover was also a live Beatles number worth listening to, with nice guitar work from Harrison. "Sun king" is lyrically... well, but contains a treat for the ears of harmony vocals.

MMT not a top notch Beatles album? Idk about that brotha. Worst song has to be the same on everyone's list..and you nailed that.

Good Morning and within,without you for tainting what,would/should,have been the best album of all time had strawberry and Penny been included instead ,while shunting the other 2 onto Magical Mystery where they would be far less incongruous.I me mine has limited appeal too.

George Harrison’s excellent not guilty was bumped off the white album to make room for nonsense like revolution number 9 and why don’t we do it in the road. The Beatles didn’t always use their resources wisely. George was an also ran who developed into a powerhouse singer songwriter. Look where Chicago went with Peter cetera and Fleetwood Mac with Christine mcvie. Not everyone enjoys all their songs but it enabled those aging warhorses to keep going and give us some of the music they did. The Beatles simply had too much talent (Starr included) to be wasting their time with such nonsense

How can you not like Sun King? I just threw my burrito! And Blue Jay Way has its place… when they wrote Flying, they were indeed flying 😂

They can't all be stompers. I like the idea of a Beatles Worst LP.

I'm a fan of Obla Di Obla Da although I'm more familiar with the Marmalade version. I've never been particularly struck with All Together now or Octopus's Garden.

My list: Wild Honey Pie 12 Bar Original Mr Moonlight Baby's in Black Dig It

Oh Sun King is fantastic! And Blue Jay Way might be a throw way song, I think George should have gone full Indian on it!

Totally agree with you about Revolution 9-it's horrible and to make it worse I think it's also the longest Beatles track ever. I actually quite like Flying -it's quite slight melodically I guess but I personally don't think it brings down Magical Mystery Tour which is my favourite Beatles album after Sergent Peppers

Agree with the majority of your list, especially the covers. Would disagree on Sun King and Don’t Bother me. Never cared for Rocky Raccoon or Why Don’t We Do It in the Road or Honey Pie. I’d much rather listen to Revolution 9 than these. Cheers!

If you think Ringo singing a country song is cringeworthy wait until you hear him singing "Act Naturally" with Buck Owens!

How about calling them your least favorite Beatle tracks?

Well, if anyone has anything negative to say about his choices I have the solution - EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR OWN RU-vid CHANNEL. My rebuttal will be recorded next week! Grrrrrr 😡

All of the songs written for Ringo were silly songs to go along with his lets call it unique singing vocals, but i don't mind Act Naturally or Octopuses Garden, but Boys & Yellow Submarine aren't for me. Some songs suffer from self-indulgence, leading to long,dull & monotonous songs, which i assume they believed to be new & experimental. Unfortunately, some experiments fail to yield good results.

Side 2 of Abbey Road is mostly one long song so I like Sun King in that context. Revolution #9 is fine with me. Martin wanted to cut that and more and have a single record release. So instead of getting a couple more songs, we're lucky we got what we did.

My Beatles cringe worthy Top 10: Act Naturally All Together Now Don’t Pass Me Buy Honey Pie Love Me Do Maxwells Silver Hammer Octopus Garden Piggies What Goes On Your Mother Should Know

10. Slow Down - scruffy, fun, the song is interesting. 9. Boys - more, history than song. The dark recording and need for sheer energy proves what a horrid experience life was at the time, how miserable and controlled. 8. Can't remember it, which suggests it's the lull on that otherwise wonderful album - 7. George Harrison wrote some dull songs, but they all made you think. That awful one with the video where the keyboard walks past him, made me leave the room in militant despair week after week. Funnily enough, I think that was 'Set on You' and this next number you're quoting is, 'You' ve Got A Hold on Me.' Are we sensing a theme, perhaps!? ... Fast forward 1. Revolution 9 - oh no you've fallen for it! This piece of genius is a crowning glory to an album true to its word from song one. The most difficult, bravest album most often mistaken for a half-arsed pile of tripe by the nervous! Well, an excellent list, sir, but, When I'm 64 should have had a mention, surely, and, Do You Want To Know A Secret warranted a place in the chart.... And Eight Days AWeek wouldn't have disgraced it!

I don't really care for their bread & butter work cover songs so I won't include them. (FLYING? Seriously? I LOVE that one!) 1. Something - Soppy, drippy, overplayed 2. Michelle my Belle - ditto Something 3. Yer Blues - Everybody loves this overlong jam session, but it bores me 4. Maxwell's Silver Hammer - noisy - ugly, unfunny lyrics 5. All Together Now - not the worst, but I'll pass 6. Yellow Submarine - I even hated this one when I was a little kid 7. I Want You (She's so Heavy) - much like Yer Blues - ugh, just end already 8. Wild Honey Pie - Total earache, but thankfully short 9. Why don't we do it in the Road - Out of character for them, and just NO. 10. Run for Your Life - totally psycho lyrics not aided by a me-eh tune

Probably agree with 90% of your choices, though personally I have to pick I am the walrus, hate the song. No doubt many will disagree, but it's all a matter of personal opinion.

Not many that most everyone could agree with. A great body of work they left, even most of these.

It's not fair to use cover versions

When I’m 64 is just awful any way you slice it and totally wrong for a youthful forward looking album like Sgt.peppers

Some great choices. Disagree on "Sun King" though. The bass line and harmonies are too rich. Also, "Blue Jay Way' has a dark, moody vibe to it that I've always loved.

Can’t believe you didn’t mention “ Why Don’t We Do It In The Road”.

Interesting Mr Bond 🤔.... err Sun King is outstanding imho .. perfect harmonisation .. and instrumentally sublime . Blu Jay way influenced Zeppelin and countless others into open tunings its marvellous. and flying is a hippies dream .. chill out tune .. you can smell the cloth and feel the heat in an old bus travelling to Blackpool.. the others I'll give you.

Seems like someone is clearly not a fan of Lennon. Sorry but if you don't like "You Really Got A Hold On Me" , you simply don't like Lennon's vocals, they're full of emotion and longing!

Honey Pie Maxwell Silver Hammer Revolution #9

Have to agree that MSH gets a bad rap. It has a good melody and the playing and production is great. Unfortunately the sadistic/violent story line elements were a bad choice IMO. Same criticism goes for Lennon's Run For You Life. A good enough song, but tainted by highly questionable lyrics. An unfortunate way to end Rubber Soul. Both songs would have come across much better with different words. --JMO.

Can't believe you left out Why Don't we Do It In The Road or Rocky Raccoon, just terrible!!

The White Album should have been a single album.

Can't argue with anything on your list. Thank you for coming up with a legit list and not including something that doesn't belong or leaving something off that does belong just to generate comments, like many people do with top or bottom 10 lists.

Okay, my list. 1. Revolution #9 for the reasons you stated. 2. Why Don't We Do It In The Road. why didn't they leave it off the White Album? 3. Run For Your Life. The music is fine, but the lyrics are terrible. 4. Yellow Submarine. I simply cannot listen to it. 5. Wild Honey Pie. sounds like a filler for the album. 6. Boys 7. Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da. I didn't like it when I first heard it and time has not made it sound any better. 8. Honey Pie. Sometimes Paul's show tunes sounds doesn't work. This is one. 9.Elenor Rigby. I always get flack when I say I don't like it, but's the music irritates me. 10. Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite. John trying his hand at show tunes? I love the Beatles, but not everything they did.

There aren’t many Beatles songs that I don’t like . However , Revolution Number 9 and Wild Honey Pie are complete atrocities . Other than those two , I can live with pretty much everything else that they did . Well , maybe not Boys . Cheers !

I’ve never understood what was so good about All You Need is Love. Not bad as such, just never understood what people like about it. I’ve always felt that Sgt Pepper has a couple of substandard tracks on an album that doesn’t deserve them, namely Getting Better and Lovely Rita. Flying and Blu Jay Way are decent filler on a brilliant album. Nothing wrong with them. I kind of like Act Naturally. I find it enjoyably tongue in cheek. If there are substandard songs on their very earliest albums, I can accept that. They were just getting started.

Crikey! I thought I'd heard every Beatles song but somehow "Slow Down" had passed me by. And I quite like it. A cracking Lennon vocal, it definitely shouldn't be in the top ten worst. Whereas "Little Child" from With The Beatles definitely should be. It's dreadful, dated and dire. Worse than all your choices.

Sun King is great. And in the context of side two of Abbey Road it’s even better

Mr. Moonlight Boys Matchbox Honey Don't Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby Hold Me Tight Can't Buy Me Love Maxwell's Silver Hammer Honey Pie Wild Honey Pie Do You Want To Know A Secret? This is My 11 songs. Or 10 songs, if you combine the Pie songs. All the early songs that Ringo covered are terrible. Pretty much the same with George. Even though John's vocal is superb, I just can't stand Mr. Moonlight. That organ solo is Horrible. I love Paul but these 5 songs of his should've never been recorded by the Beatles, even though Can't Buy Me Love was a hit. I can't listen to it anymore. Speaking of Revolution #9, I hate it but I don't consider it to be a proper song. Therefore the reason it is not on My list. But I agree wholeheartedly with the Commentator. Sour Milk Sea, Not Guilty, Can You Take Me Back ( Long Version) and Revolution ( w/ ShooBeDooWop background vocals) could've and should've been included on The Beatles. It would've made it a Way Better Album and then we would've had 3 Quality versions of Revolution to listen to. They also could've added Across The Universe to The Beatles and maybe eliminated Good Night. That way, they could've released an EP of Hey Jude, Revolution, Dehra Dun or Only A Northern Song and Good Night, kind of a Mini White Album.

Revolution 9 ruins side 4. I agree it should have been put on one of John and Yoko’s crap avant garde albums. Imagine if Hey Jude replaced it.

Mr Moonlight. Absolutely dreadful. They didn’t do many bad songs, but when they were bad, they were REALLY bad. And the Hammond organ solo wouldn’t be out of place at the funeral of your least favorite friend🤮

"I Am the Walrus" ... CAN'T STAND THAT SONG...

Your last statement explains why you like fool on the hill more that blue Jay way. I rather like the full version of Dig it. A taste of honey is dreadful. All good though.
