What do you think is the most overrated song by The Beatles?

I'm gonna go with Hey Jude. While it's a fun song to sing along to, it's also got very little substance. It's seven minutes long and four minutes of that are just them repeating, "Nah nah nah nah nah nah, Hey Jude!" over and over again.

Still a good song though. However, I feel like it consistently gets ranked too high on these all-time great song lists people come out with.

Anything sung by Ringo. Is it even possible to rate those highly?

Yesterday

I dont know. It's never done it for me. Wouldn't even crack a top 25 favorite list personally.

Get Back also. I feel like this might be the most played song on the radio after Come Together, and I'm not sure why.

Anything from their teen heart throb years. amazing how they were the Back Street Boys or Beiber and then became a GOAT rock band. All in a 10 year run essentially.

You need to put it in context.

Before the Beatles it was three chord rock and roll and manufactured lightweights like Frankie Avalon.

Their tight harmonies and incessant melodies and hooks revolutionized and expanded rock music.

That said, I agree with you. IWHYH is among my least favorite.
