Agree with "Long and Winding Road."
Starts slow and gets worse.
Octopus Garden has a true story about it. That is what octopi do.

This is a masterpiece IMO
Not a fan of the periodic acid trip musical breakdowns in the middle and end of the song. It's a song that's obviously 2 songs pasted together (Paul has admitted to such). I like the final chord and I like each of the main anthems. I just don't care much for the full package...and I'm a BIG Beatles fan.

There's some good stuff in there. Although much of it lacks the complexity and innovation of future Beatles's compilations, some of the pre Rubber Soul stuff is great in its simplicity.

I like Yellow Submarine.
Revolution 9 isn't very good at all.

Also, I disagree with people dismissing the early work as "pop bullshite" or something like that. I still jam to that early stuff every once in a while. Please Please Me, With The Beatles, Beatles for Sale, A Hard Day's Night and Help all have fantastic stuff.
Although I find myself in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with Heady . . . what he said.
Rubber Soul was a breakthrough album in a sense. But there were some real pop gems in in their early work.

The earlier more shallow pop teenage love type of songs still had great melodies. I want to hold your hand could not be much more banal in lyrical content, but for some reason I still really enjoy the flow and simple melody of the song. For Some reason Help will always be one of my favorite Beatles songs.

I love the Beatles early stuff and the seemingly limitless things they were able to do with two-minute, three-chord pop songs.

Absolutely. They're very hit or miss with me.

Oh, I know. 90% was a bit of an exaggaration. They had several fantastic pop songs pre-Rubber Soul. But the majority of it is pretty forgettable for me, especially if you consider the endless amounts of blues/jazz artists of the time (late 50's/early 1960's through Rubber Soul) that were making music that was way more profound.

Interesting question. The answer is NO. Here is my reasoning.. Obla Di Obla Da, Yellow Submarine, and maybe a couple of songs John or Paul wrote for Ringo to perform are not great songs, however, in comparison to a lot of recent music (Nickleback,Justin Bieber) and especially the whole decade of the 80's (White Snake, Mr Mister and several hundred others) they don't "suck". If you want to compare those songs to the majority of the remaining Beatles catalogue they may suck in comparison to their own songs. In terms of not enjoying a song, I would concur with the Yellow Submarine. I did really enjoy Yellow Submarine in my much younger years, but now I find it annoying. Anyone who doesn't appreciate or understand the rare collaboration of the Beatles/George Martin, need to sit down one day and try to write a song. Once they're done trying to write a song, or write a really bad song, they should put on Rubber Soul and listen to the entire album. After that, Abbey Road.. And so on and so fourth. Thank you and feel free to agree or tell me to stfu!

Obla Di is a phenomenal song.
Posted on 2/11/14 at 4:33 pm to BRTIIGER58
the only real Beatle songs i dont like are "do you want to know a secret," "long and winding road," and "....mr kite."
but i dont think they're bad songs at all.

Umm, "better than Nickelback" isn't the most meaningful standard. If that were the standard for sucking, then nothing would suck.

Yes they wrote a lot of shitty songs

Of those bands you listed, very few artists would not suck when compared to them.
The whole Decade of the 80's? Prince doesn't have a song that sucks when in comparison to older music (Tiny Tim).
