Hey, I love Harrison. All things Must Pass is the best post-Beatles work by any of the former members.

But "I Got My Mind Set On You" is a crappy, crappy song. What was George thinking? Hell, he didn't even write it. It's a cover. Why cover a rightfully forgotten song? I blame the influence of Jeff Lynne.

Honorable mention for second worst: Foo Fighters entire catalog


Well obviously youre trolling. Im not a big Foo Fighters fan but the production value, guitar tones, drum tracks, overall mix and the songwriting is solid on just about every Foo Fighters album.

Meh. I want to stick ice pick in my ears every time I hear My Sweet Lord but not quiet to the level of I Got My Mind Set On You. Even worse about that song was the campy video. I remember watching it one day and then turned to my mom and said, "That's your favorite Beatle?"

I think I will give George a pass for covering a crummy pop song. Dude made his music like he knew he was going to die prematurely.

John Lennon's 'Starting Over' is absolutely the most atrocious, hideous, zero talented song EVER made! The making and producing of that song should be investigated like a homocide.



the title should have read "Worst song by a Beatle"

but I expect that's what you really meant, cause you and I both know it's not the worst song ever

I just went back and listened for the first time in years. The worst is Blue Jay Way, a George song from Magical Mystery Tour. Others include Yellow Submarine, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Wild Honey Pie, Ringo's No-No Song, and the aforementioned Starting Over by John. Oh, and most any Paul song after the McCartney album.

Oh no. That's a cool song.
I like that much maligned album (except for All You need is Love).

Magical Mystery Tour is one of my favorite Beatle albums. I love it from beginning to end.

The fact that John Lennon wrote it gives it a pass. It's not a very good song but it's not even in the top 1000 of bad songs.

How about Toby Kieth's 'I Wanna Talk About Me' ?

Now that is worth being sent to the firing squad.

Wanna talk about me

And lost too. Retarded because it's got a similar hook but he obviously didn't base My Sweet Lord off a song wrote by a couple of white Jewish guys.

It's a damn sight better than "Woman" which should come with free insulin.
