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.

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

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).
