this. add to that Maxwell's Silver Hammer and anything else Ringo tried to write.

things really turned out the wrong way for the Beatles. John got shot, Paul got divorced, George got cancer and Ringo is still alive.

F u that song is epic. For me it would be either Because from the Abbey road or Ob-la-di, ob-la-da. They're both pretty nauseating.

That may be, but this girl I knew was from England. The Beatles themselves were from England!

That's an awesome song. The driving energy and heavy guitar work often leads it to be credited as one of the forerunners to the hard rock movement that would follow in the 70s. Sure the lyrics aren't particularly deep or anything, but the song is rocking. Even if you don't think it's great, it's empirically far from their worst.

You should listen to Help! because it's an incredible album. Songs like Yesterday, I've Just Seen a Face, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, Ticket to Ride, I Need You, and others are absolutely great, and are basically a foreshadowing of what was to come on Rubber Soul.

Don't pass me by is also a great, fun tune, and probably Ringo's best song. I think both the drumming and violin arrangements are pretty damn inspired here. Again, even if you don't like it, there are much worse Beatles tunes.

And don't get me started on Ringo bashing. He was a great drummer. Absolutely great. He was a very creative percussionist and always fit the song perfectly, never over or underplaying. He has flawless timing and a very recognizable and relaxed style. Any band would be lucky to have a drummer like Ringo.

If you guys want to find the real worst Beatles tracks, it would have to be one of their throwaway tracks like "Wild Honey Pie" or one of their experimental tracks that didn't work at all, like "Revolution 9." There is no musical value to speak of there.

Also, hi everyone.

Hey man, I think Because is a great song. I was obsessed with Ob-la-di Ob-la-da for a while when I was younger, but now I can agree it's pretty annoying.

Yeah.... you're pretty much on the money. Octopus' Garden is just plain stupid (Although it gives me a few chuckles), as well as Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Both weak points on Abbey Road for me. Also, I seem to be the only person who thinks this, but I find I Want You (She's So Heavy) to be really boring. I realize it's supposed to be hypnotic or whatever but I think John could have cut it a bit shorter.

I love Ob-la-di... :(

John had basically already checked out by the time they cut Abbey Road, which is why Paul dominated it so much with that massive medley and such. The problem with that is, when left unchecked, Paul tends to go bubblegum pop, and John was his best check.

It worked both ways though. John didn't really have the same handle on composition that George and Paul had, so when he stopped inviting them into his creative process, his songs tended to be suffer. I Want You is a prime example. It just meanders without really going anywhere.

The Beatles really worked best as a unit. The sum of the parts was much greater than the individuals. Unfortunately, they weren't really working together by the time Abbey Road rolled around.

Are you ****ing KIDDING ME?


Within You Without You might be THE best Beatles song. One of the most psychedelic things I've ever heard.
