Personally within you without you is one of my favorite Beatles songs of all time. Very hypnotic. I can see why others don’t like it. It’s not very exciting but it’s not supposed to be.
I agree. Always loved that one, really underrated
Within You Without You is a great song.
On its own, it's not my cup of tea, but I respect the hell out of it, for if it weren't for that original track, we wouldn't have gotten "Within you, Without you/Tomorrow Never Knows" off of the "LOVE" mashup-remix-album-soundtrack thing.
An absolute beauty
Within You Without You is a masterpiece. Easily among the Top 20 for me.
"Baby's In Black" is a great song, damn it! It's actually my second favourite song off Beatles for Sale, after "Eight Days a Week."
It always gets stuck in my head when i hear it! I don’t know how to rate the album, but it sure is a great one!
My first ever record this album, but god this was a clunker. They did it live a lot too. The harmonies are good
Ikr those harmonies are magical!! I 100% recommend listening to the isolated vocals
Hi Rimbaud
As much as I dislike this song, which is a kind of folksy/seashanty with a bluesy guitar (Harrison seemed obsessed with these cheesy predictable phoned-in riffs at this time), the rendition at the NME '65 show is a revelation, even with mic problems. They were a bunch of old pros by their early 20's.
But like many songs on this album, they seem out of their time, i.e., these songs are largely leftovers from their early days in Hamburg. The world was changing rapidly and this really feels like the album rushed out for Christmas. "Party" and "No reply" being the exceptions. But all filler, no killer here. And don't get me started about Mr Moonlight
Baby’s in Black is one of my favourite songs. Not just from the Beatles but if all time. John and Paul’s sorrowful harmonising is fantastic.
I agree on this
such a great song, honestly all tracs on BFS that are not covers are masterpieces
Agreed - it is a very solid album track. The dreary "I'll Follow the Sun" should have been the pick.
I agree and it’s my fav song from BfS
I love Misery, one of my favorite obscure songs. I love how Paul says "Send" as in "Shend"...😊
Yeah - same - lol
He was inspired by Sean Connery
I agree. I really like everything on their first album.
It's not terrible. But, it would've worked far better for Helen Shapiro. She was who they wrote it for. It suits her voice well.
I agree. Ask Me Why would be my choice for least favorite on that album. It's the I-I-I-I part that sounds more to me as less than a Beatles song and more of one of those they would have offered another band or artist
The funny thing about 'Revolution 9' is that it was the first Beatles song I remember hearing. It was played on some oldies station, during a Beatles feature. I was so confused and blown away by it. When I finally got my first record player, and bought one of my first records, as a young adult, I searched out the white album simply because 'Revolution 9' stuck with me.
So much hate for Revolution 9, but personally I love it. Its soundscapes are just amazing, the sounds of the world. Its only fault is it just "ends", a criticism I heard once that I must agree with. Nothing "wraps it up". The Giles Martin mix is just fabulous
Without Revolution 9. Good Night had no intro.
I LOVE Revolution 9. And I love the Beatles for creating it. Honestly without Revolution 9 I think I would respect them a little less because I wouldn’t think them capable of much more than pop music. I love that John made music that fans could hate but which he absolutely loved regardless.
It's friggin' amazing, but obviously not characteristic of them. They were influenced by Stockhausen's 'music concrete' plus other avante garde influences. It's a wonderful piece, but obviously if you don't like avante garde music/sound compositions, you ain't gonna like it. It would be akin to Beatles lovers disliking Stravinsky's serial compositions, the works of Schnittke, Grateful Dead spaces, Varese pieces, and so- none of which sound like Beatles music or appeals to its pop/rock strengths.
My history teacher in high school made us listen to R9 and handed out the lyrics to every class 😎
The thing with The Beatles is that even their worst songs are good. Your choices were good & I see why you picked them. I tend to go for the less played songs to listen to rather than their most popular songs. I’m more of a Stones fan but there are a lot of Stones songs that are just plain bad. But yet there are a lot of hidden “gems” from them that you never hear.
I mean Wild honey pie is prolly their worst, and even then Wild Honey Pie is under a min
@Topazthecat excuse me whT
@@davidbanan. he said, the rizbazzle is a fizzle snap on the flizzonapple, riboflapper.
Totally
The stones been around for 60 years and have been releasing bad music since the late 70s. Same with The Beach Boys.
The Beatles ending after 7 years is why they rarely have bad songs. Been their solo careers speak for themselves. Ringo’s solo stuff is awful, aside from the song It Don’t Come Easy. Harrison’s is pretty meh, aside from the All Things Must Pass album. Lennon has a pretty good solo career, even though it was less than 10 years(even you consider he didn’t make any music during 1976-1979). McCartney’s best just might be the best but it has a lot of filler too.
“Why don’t we do it in the Road” may not be lyrically sophisticated, but it has extremely powerful vocals by Paul. Can’t agree that it’s the worst song on that disc.
I love that song actually
Nah, there are several songs I'd consider inferior to that one. Don't Pass Me By, Revolution 9, Wild Honey Pie.
It's great, but for me it is far-and-away the weakest on that album.
Was botta say this but u said it already
@@johndeleonardis901 it’s one of the best on the album. Everything musically is amazing. McCartney’s vocals are amazing. McCartney’s bass is groovy. The piano is catchy.
"You like me too much" and "misery" are both brilliant in my opinion, so catchy and just great songs
If you compilate all these "worst" Beatles songs, you'll have a great album 🎼
Hugs from 🇧🇷
I AGREE!
Very true
Ever heard of the second half of the white album?
@@doomhnxstly23 Plenty of great songs
When I went to Beatlefest years back they had a battle of the bands. One of the bands did "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number." The part with the mumbling in it, the lead singer shove a big sandwich in his mouth and tried to sing. Sounded just like the record.
I guess I basically agree with the picks. However, I don't understand why Within You Without You is ever in these sorts of conversations, it's one of the top 3 iconic tracks on Sgt Pepper
I agree
Have always loved that song. I got PEPPER when I was 8 years old and it was one of the highlights for me even at that age.
It’s not an enjoyable listen. It’s that simple.
@@ArmandoMPR I agree. I like it, but I don't find myself just playing it at random. I really only listen to it when I'm taking in the full album. It's good musically, just not my jam.
F**k yeah, it's one of the greatest songs from Sgt. Pepper's
I’ve always considered Beatles for Sale their worst album too, but once I listened to it without the covers, their progression as songwriters after A Hard Day’s Night really shines. They should’ve added the songs from the Long Tall Sally EP. The covers on that one are better. Now, I think their worst is With The Beatles.
Exactly my assessment. And on "With the Beatles", the covers are the only ones that rock; the original songs are wheezy old-fashioned love songs from a different era; it sounds like the record company tried to turn the Beatles into little Paul Ankas.
So other than no reply, I’m a loser, baby’s in black, I’ll follow the sun, eight days a week, every little thing, and what you’re doing, 7 good to great songs, you don’t like the album? Trust me, I try to rank Beatles albums as well, but to say it’s their worst is crazy. Personally overall I’d say sgt pepper is their worst album. But to each their own of course.
@@classiclife7204 yes with the Beatles is their worst album. Still better than nearly everyone else’s album ever. But relatively their worst for sure. Clearly they needed to put out an album and so they had the most covers. It won’t be long, all I’ve got to do and all my loving all incredible, but that’s why they r the first 3 songs. After that it falls off and is covers etc.
@@adambird-ridnell6415 you think it’s crazy to say Beatles for Sale is their worst, but then you go on to say that Sgt. Pepper is the worst??? Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Getting Better, She’s Leaving Home, Mr. Kite, A Day in the Life???
Everyone has an opinion. I can understand why some would say Sgt. Pepper’s is their worst. It doesn’t sound a lot like a Beatles record and it’s mainly Paul and George Martin arrangements.
Yellow Submarine is a core album, so it should automatically be considered the worst since it’s offers almost nothing new. But I don’t, so I say A Hard Day’s Night is their worst. It’s very basic for a Beatles record and for 1964. Meanwhile at the same time The Animals recorded their mind blowing cover House Of The Rising Sun and The Zombies recorded She’s Not There. Both way better than anything on A Hard Day’s Night. Heck even other Merseybeat group Gerry And The Pacemakers recorded Ferry Cross The Mersey, which was musically and lyrically more interesting.
I know it’s not the one you went with Good Morning but, Within You Without You is honestly one of my favorite Beatles songs. My favorite part especially is the instrumental part where the western strings and the eastern instruments take turn and sort of complete with each other. It really is just beautiful.
Good Morning is obviously the worst song on Pepper and probably Lennon's worst post Beatlemania song not named 9.
I think Within You Without You is one of the best songs on the album. It just doesn't sound like a Beatles song, but that's okay because the original concept for Sgt Pepper was that all the songs should sound different from each other.
@@joepermenter7228 Why do people hate that one so much?? It's honestly one of my favorite Beatles songs and always has been!
I agree with all of your choices except for Baby’s In Black. I think it’s one of the best songs on the album and way stronger than songs like “I Don’t Wanna Spoil The Party” and “Every Little Thing”.
Agreed!
"every little thing" is a masterpiece
Spoil the Party is a stand-out track in my opinion, I return to it more than most from the early albums
I dont want to spoil the party is hela meh
@@why.u.even.care. It is a good song with the 12-string guitar from Harrison in it especially
Baby’s in Black is probably my fav Beatle song. I’ve heard everything Lennon wrote was initially in 3/4 time, then changed to more traditional 4/4.
I was looking for this comment to help mend my broken heart, lol. Baby's in Black is one of my favorites!
What you heard about Lennon songs is not true.
This song feels more like 6/8 than 3/4
@@ks9678 Yes it does! I had not realized it!
That was a fun video and I'm really glad you seemed to enjoy the experience. With that said 😂 I was hoping you were going to choose Run For Your Life in Rubber Soul instead of What Goes On which I totally love. RFYL, from the first time I could understand its lyrics to this day, has always been a bit too dark for me as a Beatles song even for that period but I do get the artistic value.
I can’t disagree with your choices, but I love “Flying” for how nutty it is.
Yeah I actually really like that one!
And it has lyrics too! "La la-la la-laaaaaaa... La la-la la la-la-laaaaaaaa" 😂
love Flying, for exactly that reason. Ditto Look up the Number.
My go to version of Flying now is the one on bootlegs with a much longer ending where it sounds like a Mellotron is getting slowly tortured.
For me ‘I Call Your Name’ & ‘When I Get Home’ deserve to be on the most Underrated Beatles songs album! John’s rhythm guitar playing on both tracks is phenomenal and each has that signature 64’ sound which defined Beatlemania.
I’d have replaced them for ‘Tell Me Why’ (the falsetto harmonies sound off to me on that one), and ‘I’ll Get You’ (because of its weak lyrics and simplistic melody in my opinion).
:)
Oh cmon! "Well there's gonaaaaa beeee a time when I'm gonnaaaaa changeeee your mind" !!

Great video. As you mentioned it's tough to choose their "worst" songs, and I've also found myself changing my selections from time to time depending on different factors. Keep up the great work 👍
The Beatles "worst" songs are , in many cases, still better than many bands best songs.
Testament of their talent
Definitely not true lol
Nah dawg
Hard disagree
Good morning good morning! Worst song on Sgt Pepper? Better than most bands best song!
I think you were right about *Revolver* in saying there isn’t a weak song on it. I mean, *Doctor Robert* is a GREAT song and actually one of my favs. If anything I skip *Yellow Submarine* and not because it’s weak but just because it feels out of place on this album.
"What Goes On" to me is a great Rubber Soul track, music-wise. As a one-time studio drummer, I can really dig the hot, tight rhythm section playing of Paul and Ringo. One of their best, IMO. They provide a super-solid foundation for this otherwise not-so-great lyric and melody, elevating the song to a much-better regard. Give it another listen! BTW, I'm a digital/CD guy. Vinyl is yesterday's technology.
You had me cheering for you until that last sentence.
Dr Robert is brilliant ( nothing is even close to bad on the Revolver LP). Good Morning, Good Morning is great too. Here I’d pick Mr. Kite instead. Otherwise, I’d agree with your choices.
Dr Robert is Brilliant.
I feel like Got to get you into my life would fit better, like any thing else on Revolver its great, just less great... atleast thats what i think
Mr. Kite is one of their best songs! I’d keep Good Morning, Good Morning
@@Beantbeantbeant I know. I like actually it too. But trying to come up with the worst song per album is hard on records like Pepper. I just love the guitar work and drums on Good Morning
But Mr. Kite is a great song!
Dr Robert is mundane.
Love this. Would love to see this with a few other artists with similarly S tier discographies.
i would say 85% of their songs are good- great, 10% are okey, 5%alright. i dont think they have any bad bad song
They have a pair, but they don't deserve a video like this.
@@Romchikthelemon ?????
What
Revolution 9 exists, you know. I could name many more, but that one alone is enough to contemplate throwing that record out the window.
@@ArmandoMPR yes name 5 more ) revolution 9 is a good song, its intresting, it take u on a trip u wont forget. i like it
Hold Me Tight and Ask Me Why are terrible.
Love the channel and I love the Beatles, I like how you broke down each album and feel you you made the right choices, I would have a lot of trouble with the late era albums as well.
What’s the name of the song you’re playing in the background during the beginning of the video?
Cool video & great content.
I love how you structure your criticism, great video!
We have some overlap, but certainly some of the songs on your list I actually really enjoy! And I'm sure you would find the same of mine. A fun experiment that gave me an excuse to go through all The Beatles catalogue again.
One thing about your list specifically: you should listen to the Mamas and Papas version of "I Call Your Name" - I wouldn't hesitate to call this the definitive version!
Pretty decent list. Rational explanation's as to why you considered each track pick to be the weakest on each album. You have a great channel. Keep up the excellent work!
You Like Me too Much is one of my favorites. Nice relaxing tune with great harmonies.
The "piano'" you're talking about in 'You Like Me Too Much' is John playing on a Hohner Pianet, the only time George Martin comes in is with an actual piano at the start and at the end.
I have been a Beatles fan since around the time Hey Jude came out. I’ve heard every tune dozens to hundreds of times. I think you are at least 90% correct in your evaluation of the worst songs. A few I’ve appreciated more or less over the years but, I have to agree with the weak songs. You can move the bottom two up or down depending on your mood that day. Obviously you have put some decent thought behind your selections.👍
Congrats on 200k!!!
Thinking of dropping 200 usd on the upcoming revolver vinyl remaster - should I,?
Good pics overall. The only one I was really riding you hard on was the first disc of The White album, where you picked Let's Do it in the Road. I couldn't help but shout out, "You prefer Wild Honey Pie or Bungalow Bill to Let's Do it in the Road?!? Really??" LOL
What Youre Doing is one of my faves in that album. The riff, tho simple is super catchy and memorable. Add to that Ringos drumming that ties the whole song together.
Good video, well presented and I think you argued your choices well. Among my least favourite Beatles' songs (apart from the ones you mentioned): One After 909 and Good Night.
Are there any outtakes of songs you think are better than the version on the studio albums?
What is that last record (from 1966 through the 90s)?
You stepped bravely into a veritable minefield with this one, dear host.
But full respect for emerging on the other side relatively unscathed.
One observation....
Baby's in Black was a concert fave. Check it out; there are at least three performances on RUclips. Paul's high harmonies are powerful, yet gorgeous, and really elevate this sleeper to the A-list of their early period.
What would you have for the cover art?
I love to listen these kind of opinions. Most beatles fans can agree on what the best albums are. But when talking about worst songs I sometimes find songs that to me are favorites.
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) is one of my all time favorites and I can have it on repeat all day!
I like how we all enjoy the beatles in a completely differnt way!
Loved the video geek!
This is a suggestion: how would you change or “Capitol” the Beatles catalog? What would you change? What would you add/take away from their albums?
MY RULES:
1. No making new albums
I would add Strawberry FF and Penny Lane to Sgt Peppers and do other things to others. What would you do?
You deserve more subscribers, man.
God Bless!
I got one
2.Yellow Submarine:Take out George Martin Tracks, put them out on a separate album ("Yellow Submarine Orchestral Track") and release the 6 movie songs, lady madonna, The inner light, and add Eleanor Rigby, L.S.D., and Nowhere man to add more cohesion with the movie, if it's delayed, then there would be time to throw in Hey Jude and Revolution as ending bonus tracks as MMT did with "hello, goodbye"
Addendum, hold on to the orchestral album until later...
With the Beatles: Add "She Loves You" & "I Want to Hold Your Hand", remove "Til There Was You" and "Little Child".
Beatles For Sale: Add "I Feel Fine" and "She's a Woman" and remove "Mr. Moonlight" and either "Words of Love" or "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey".
Help!: Add "I'm Down". "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" is probably what I would drop, but if not that, then "Tell Me What You See".
I would add Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields and take off When I’m Sixty Four. It really jars, in a similar way to Maxwell on Abbey Road.
I thought of a similar thing, except I would still add a few albums.
Please Please Me (UK=>US),
Meet The Beatles (except move IWTHYH to the end),
Second album (with a better title and From Me To You/Thank You Girl,
A Hard Day’s Night separated like UK Yellow Submarine,
Modern Rockers album consisting of remaining UK AHDN songs + Long Tall Sally EP,
Beatles 65 (with I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party and Eight Days A Week instead of Honey Don’t)
Help! Separated like UK Yellow Submarine,
Yesterday And Today consisting of the remaining songs from UK Beatles For Sale, the 6 non-movie songs from Help! (with Dizzy Miss Lizzy and Bad Boy not having to be recorded in this timeline) and We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper.
Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Peppers unaltered
US Magical Mystery Tour
UK White Album
New Yellow Submarine album with 4 movie songs (and 8 minute It’s All Too Much), Lady Madonna/The Inner Light, and a few extra songs that didn’t make the cut onto the white album (eg, What’s The New Mary Jane, Sour Milk Sea, Junk, ect) with a way to still access George Martin’s score (I like them, ok)
Abbey Road and Let It Be unaltered (unless Across The Universe got included on Yellow Submarine)
This video was fun to watch. I enjoyed it a lot.
aside from I Call Your Name, I agree with all your picks
I would pick She's A Woman, Yes It Is, or I'll Get You over I Call Your Name.
Fun video and I agree with most picks... there were some real stinkers on the early records!
Just want to say you are a really pleasant commentator, no bad language, respectful, even when being critical you are still respectful. 👍
great video!
I love flying!!! The tremolo, the crazy vocals, dang. I love it!!!
I appreciate your comments. Good points made ! Thanks
Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a banger, and you can't convince me otherwise.
The fact that I still enjoy all these songs is a testament to how good the Beatles were
Its my own personal list
based on my own taste:
-Love me Do
- Little child
-Tell me why (yes, i have to choose one i didnt think this is bad)
-What are you doing (its a good song sounds like bit unfinished.....instead of all the covers i'd love to see their own material here as "its for you" )
-Dizzy miss lizzy (For the rock and roll american ep it would be great nor to ending help album)
-What goes on /Unfortunately i had to choose one , i bet if lennon maccartney sung this one it will be completely differentç/
-Yellow Submarine (NO Need explain why .....i'd love to have Rain instead)
-Good mornng good morning /weakest track on pepper indeed
-Flying (same above)
- Why cant we do it in the road part 1 obla di obla da part 2 /Dunno why an ska-reggae song becomes in a granny one/
-Maxwell'ssilver hammer ....Weakest track on abbey road and even tough a masterpiece
- Maggie mae .........NO NEED TO EXPLAIN ....probably one of the biggest mistakes beside Dig it short version ...Both choosen by Glin Jones thats the poor legancy glin jones left to The Beatles
-Bad Boy .....enjoyable but it not said nothing to me. I rather by far the outtake of "Leave my kitten alone"
And Finally: You Know my name look up the number... Its a comical song but also interested listen to the rythm changes its very joyfull. The shorter version edited just to be included at Let it be B side lost a lot of the enjoyable ska saxophone played by Brian Jones (The best part of the song for me)
I`ll say again
Its based on my personal taste IM A BIG BIIIG A MEAN HUGE BEATLES FAN AND I REALLY LOOOOVE THEIR WHOLE CATALOGE so it was an exercise
Hope you all have enjoyed reading my own review!
I'd switch Octopus's Garden for Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Being my favorite album, I wasn't surprised with you pick from the first half of The White Album. However, as super iconoclastic as it was, I can't fully say the record is complete without Revolution 9. Personally, the track on record 2 that I often skip is Savory Truffle and that's a surprise to be because normally I love me a George Harrison track.
Well done, Eric. Your reasoning was rational and respectful. Look out for flying vinyl coming at your head!
Great vid, but imho you forgot syrupy tracks like 'Michelle', Here, There and Everywhere', and 'The Long and Winding Road' ! Personally, I'd take Harrison's 'Only a Northern Song' and 'You Like Me Too Much' over Macca saccharine any day.
That was great. I agree with maybe half your picks. Now do The Best Beatles Album.
Nailed it! The logic behind each selection was right on point. 👍
I will stand by my position that Revolution 9 is one of the most important recordings by The Beatles.
It's completely inspired and executed nearly perfectly for something that had basically never been attempted before, let alone included on a pop record. There's a clear narrative to the listener, the mix is great, and it's genuinely emotive and powerful. I think it's a stronger anti-war statement than anything they recorded, as a group or post-breakup.
The first Faust LP is one of the most revered early krautrock albums, and has been praised for essentially attempting the same sound-collage approach years after Revolution 9. Stockhausen and Verese are equally regarded, but none of these composers or artists have had the direct impact of introducing music concrete / sound collage to the public consciousness as with Revolution 9.
I guess it doesn't fit in with the album, but I'd argue that no Beatles album following Revolver except Let It Be and maybe Sgt Peppers feels cohesive. They've always been a bit of a mess.
I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I love the track. It's easily in my top 5 Beatles songs.
Agree but at the beginning number 9 number 9
It's revealing Paul's supposed automobile death when played backwards
Yup
I dont know. I think Abbey Road is pretty cohesive, less conceptually maybe, but the medley at the end. And the flow between "I want you (she's so heavy)", "Here comes the sun", "Because" and then into "You never give me your money" might sound off, but it has this dark, light, dark, light kinda thing that makes it feel really cohesive.
I’m not saying you’re doing this, but I’ve had friends complain about Beatles albums not being cohesive. I’ve since come to believe that criticizing a Beatles album for not being “cohesive” (especially by todays standards) is like criticizing a Picasso because people aren’t blue.
I agree with every one of your picks except "Good Morning,Good Morning" I love that,it would be "Within Without You" by George,it's his only song I can't connect with,everything else he did was great,and on the White Album I would pick "Don't Pass Me By",great job otherwise!
Good picks 👍
Great video even if I was a bit cheesed that What You’re Doing wasn’t chosen. I love Baby’s In Black anytime McCartney and Lennon are eye to eye singing it’s magic even on the lesser known tracks
I guessed wrong on a several. There were a couple that I thought were locks though. I thought "Not A Second Time" was almost certainly going to be the pick, but you swayed me with Little Child - definitely worse. The other, "What Goes On", is much worse than my initial thought of "Wait."
I think In My Life and Wait are a great listen back to back.
Nice set of speakers! I have a set of those! Someone put them out for trash collection and I took them home and hooked them up and they're my favorite speakers. (They were priced at a yard sale for $1.00 and I guess nobody bought them!😲😳)
Love your list , I feel identify with it since it’s pretty much the same songs I think could’ve been better or give to another artists
Since you did not play a sample from each song as you spoke about them, I went to the source : You Tube , to listen to all the songs as you mentioned them. Mostly I disagree with you. The less popular / less heard Beatles songs sound more interesting to me. I hadn't heard "Baby's In Black " In like 40 years ! And I went and listened to it and it sounded better than I remembered ! As a matter of fact I liked all of the songs you had a problem with. "Misery" sounded good too ! The piano fills especially .
Was about to start throwing hands at what you're doing haha
As a general rule the Beatles songs ALL have considerable merit, so this was a challenge you set for yourself, and I would agree with almost all your choices...HOWEVER (bet you saw that coming) I do have a quibble on Abbey Road. Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a very cool tune. I would go with Octopus's Garden.
I agree that "Little Child" is kind of a stinker, but the opening for it is gold -- one of the few harmonica parts I like. But only the opening. The rest of the song, not so much.
Holy crap ... I can't believe how similar your choices are with mine. Every selection is exactly the same except two.
I actually prefer Baby's In Black over What Your Doing. I love the bridge harmony. The other pick is Goodnight over your pick Why Don't We Do It In The Road. All the others are the same ... that's friggin' scary lol. Even when you said that Let It Be was kinda a non-album to you as well ... until you saw the doc. 12 out of 14 the same ... I'm still shaking my head.
Ooooh i love Babys in black. One of my favorites. Really punchy drums and great harmony.
You lost me at "When I Get Home" - great propulsive and innovative early Lennon rocker with an adventurous harmonic structure and clever lyrics - a favorite track on the LP for me. It's tough to pick out anything truly weak here, but if I had my back against the wall I'd pick either the boilerplate rocker "Tell Me Why" or the overrated McCartney ballad "Things We Said Today"...
I agree with Maxwell hammer but within you without you is on my weekly playlist good video
Be careful when getting a free trial of Tidal. I canceled mine, but they continued to steal from my debit card. Their customer service is a joke because you can’t talk to anyone.
I wound up having to replace my debit card, so they could quit ripping me off. They may pay artists more, but they’re still crooked.
I actually really like "You like me too much" but probably because I'm such a Harrison fan and I liked the 7 chords in the keyboard (although I must admit the piano solo was lacking). Also: You know My Name (Look Up The Number) was cut from it's original 6-7 minute duration down to 4-5 minutes and I don't know if that might change your mind. Also:When I think Past Masters Volume 2 the 1st things that come to mind are The Inner Light" by George Harrison and "You Know My Name (look up the number)
It’s one of my favorite songs
Interesting your choice with Dr. Robert which is one of my favourites also because it is from my point of view put on the exact right place on the album…but I agree with many of your choices. :-)
Baby’s in Black is a classic.. even excluding covers if you can’t put Mr Moonlight on a list of worst Beatles songs.. it’s a travesty lol. Also, after the early Good Morning takes without the over dubs I have a special place in my heart for it
Thanks for the content. Cheers.
Have you ever heard Steve Martin’s version of Maxwells Silver Hammer?
I'm not so sure the word "worst" should be used in reference to any Beatles album lol. "Least Popular" or something like that maybe :)
My bad, didn't catch that the "album" is fictional and composed of a bunch cherry picked from from their whole career. I have no doubt they have an albums worth of crappy songs. Maybe even a two disc "Worst Of" lmao.
They could probably sell that into the Platinum levels. "Ladies and gentlemen: THE WORST OF THE BEATLES!"
I’ve always loved the word love the voices and music
@@AZDC99 Jefferson Airplane already did that
@@blakeburwell2002 They're paid to be original.. I'm not! (So I thought I was there.. hahaha.. I do remember that Jefferson Airplane album title now. I gladly stand corrected)
I guess you can pick a least favorite from any band. I haven't sat down to think "Which song do I like least?" Some were a surprise but most I understood why you picked them.
"Only a Northern Song" is my favorite track on Yellow Submarine excluding the George Martin compositions. My least favorite is "Hey Bulldog." I haven't seen the film since the pre-Songtrack VHS, so I guess I saw the version without that song. I didn't own any Beatles albums when I saw it, so I need to see it again, anyway.
Abbey Road is probably my favorite Beatles album. "Oh! Darling" is probably my least favorite song on it, but only because it sounds more like a relic from the early albums with more of a '50s sound.
Hey, Vinyl. I'll give it a try. It does pain me to do this,, because The Beatles have been my favorites for at least 40 years! (Same criteria...no covers...) Well, anyway...
01. There's A Place
02. I Wanna Be Your Man
03. When I Get Home
04. I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

Good Lord, this was tough. Mostly because I basically like every song listed above. Now I feel bad for putting this hypothetical album together. So, as a way of a palette cleanser, here is my "sleeper" album, filled with fantastic songs that aren't that widely known. And Many of these are among my all time favorite songs...
01. P.S. I Love You
02. It Won't Be Long
03. Tell Me Why
04. No Reply
05. The Night Before
06. You Won't See Me

11. Savoy Truffle
12. All Together Now
13. Her Majesty (yep!! LOVE it!!)
14. For You Blue
15. This Boy
16. You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
So there you have it. First, my list of "worst" (really, least great) songs, then a list of "sleeper" songs that I'm guessing the majority of people aren't that familiar with.
Here’s mine:
. Please Please Me: Ask Me Why
. With The Beatles: Little Child
. A Hard Day’s Night: I’ll Cry Instead
. Beatles For Sale: I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party
. Help!: Another Girl
. Rubber Soul: Run For Your Life
. Revolver: And Your Bird Can Sing
. SGT Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: Lovely Rita
. Magical Mystery Tour: Flying
. Yellow Submarine: All Together Now
. The White Album (Disk 1): I’m So Tired
. The White Album (Disk 2): Honey Pie
. Abbey Road: Sun King
. Let It Be: Dig It
. Non-Album Song 1: Thank You Girl
. Non-Album Song 2: You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
i think all the picks were pretty solid but i love “you know my name (pick up the number)” i think there are definitely less interesting singles
I'm glad you made the rule of not including any cover songs on here, because let's be honest - many of them are not exactly the Beatles' finest work.
That being said, I agree with most of your picks, though some of them like "Doctor Robert" and "Flying" are genuinely good songs.
For the non-album singles, I would have picked "The Inner Light" over "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)". That track sounds more like something from one of George's solo albums than a true Beatles song, and it's not really enjoyable to listen to in my opinion, especially compared to "You Know My Name" which is a fun novelty song.
What a bizzare list!
Worst Beatles album ever (which is like saying least-best compared to other artists) is "Let it Be" - by quite a large margin.
Agree with "Revolution #9" George’s "Not Guilty", or perhaps "Hey Jude" would’ve been much better replacements.
Hey Jude was not going to be in the album because it was a single. Not Guilty should have been included, but not at the expense of Revolution 9, which I view as a misunderstood avant garde masterpiece. If any tracks needed to be removed from the White Album it should have been Paul's songs..namely the cringeworthy Ob-la-di Ob-la-da and the throwaway Wild Honey Pie. which served no purpose.
@@sjdrifter72 I’ve never been too keen on Revolution #9. I mean I love this album as it is, and I have listened to it so many times in the past forty or so years since I got my first copy, and I hear what you’re sayin. I suppose all Beatles fans have their own ideas on what they’d like on or off the White Album, as George Martin felt it should’ve been paired down to a single LP.
Let's not forget Why Don't We Do It In The Road..which is repetitious and also serves no purpose. Not all the songs Paul spun into life turned to gold, you know?
Some of George's later songs were not ready to record on a Beatles album. Hey Jude was always going to be a single. Better to just leave certain crappy tracks off of the White Album.
John pointed out it doesn't matter if Revolution 9 was good or not, the fact was a million people bought that album on release and listened to it at least once, he put Avant Garde experimental sound collage into a million heads.
I subscribed to be the 200,000th sub.looks interesting.
Ouch, already at the first two albums and two of my favourite tracks are mentioned!
and 'Baby's In Black' is one of my all time favourite Beatles tracks!
I also love 'Revolution 9'!
I agree with these one however:
When I Get Home
You Like Me Too Much
What Goes On
Why Don't We Do It In The Road
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Taking into account you are considerably younger than me, ( I turned 12 in 1964 ) I was actually surprised I agreed with most of your picks!
Man, I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but as a die-hard Beatles fan my two favorite albums are With the Beatles and Beatles for Sale. I just love almost all the tracks on both of those. Great video!
Doctor Robert has some great guitar work, my Revolver pick would likely be Here, There & Everywhere because it's furthest from pure guitar rock. Good Morning x2 is probably my 3rd favorite on Sgt. Peppers, so disagree a bit there as well. I also love Flying as an instrumental interlude, but I can see why Beatles fans wouldn't dig it without vocals. And not that it isn't valid, but selecting Dig It or Maggie Mae from Let It Be feels a bit like a cop out, though the former's a solid earworm, especially the full version jam.
I understand Little Child being the least favorite original on Meet The Beatles, but as an 8 year old I loved it. Love the piano clunking. Also I think Got To Get You Into My Life is worse than Dr. Roberts.
Apart from Dig It, what is your least favorite Let It Be song? For me it would be Dig a Pony (not bad, only least favorite).
You Know My Name is my favourite Beatles' song (as well as Paul's!)
Excellent. thank you
Baby's in Black is literally the only song besides Eight Days a Week that I find memorable on Beatles for Sale.
Same! I have no idea why he chose that one. There's barely anything as memorable on there as baby's in black.
