Worst Beatles Song Ever


The Question is: what would be the Beatles song that never should really have been written?

There should be some criteria first.

Worst early song?

Worst late 60's song?

Worst solo album song?

For early songs the worst could be I Need You, You Like Me Too Much or Hold Me Tight. I shouldn't really choose any early Harrison songs, because he was just practicing song making, but they are not really good songs. 'Hold Me Tight' just don't work: Paul had intended to do a Motown song and probably nobody wanted to co-operate with him.

For later 60's songs there would be Being for the Benefit of Mr.Kite, 'cos it really sounds bad. It's like a nightmare about circus. Or rather if you have a bad flu and try to sleep, and you're dreaming about circus and you have to cough and wipe your nose, and you don't really know whether you're wake or dreaming.

Worst solo album songs for John would be 'Remember' on his first solo album. It's too simple and monotonic. It's so bad that even I could have done better song and lyrics.

Paul's worst song might be 'Average person' on album 'Pipes of Peace'. Paul is master of melodies, but this is silly stuff. Another almost as bad is 'Famous Groupies' on 'London Town'. I remember there is some really odd song on the 'Back to the Egg' album, but luckily I don't recall its name.

Don't ANYONE name "Revolution 9" as the worst, I'm warning you. :-P

(I figured that would be named as the worst by default.... "Revolution 9" may not be a mop-top yeah-yeah-yeah Beatles song, but it's also a brilliant piece of art by Messrs. Lennon and Harrison.)

I love all their songs, except one: Why Don't We Do It In The Road?
It is SO SO SOOOOOO repetitive and annoying! And no offense to Paul, but a little stupid too.

I'm not going to include any covers, I don't like most of them anyway.

but my least faves are

"I'm Only Sleeping" - it's kind of dull.

"With A Little Help From My Friends" - It has nothing to do with Ringo singing it, I just can't stand this song.

"The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill" - Boring and it really gets on my nerves.

"All You Need Is Love" - Again dull and boring and way too hippie for me. Love doesn't pay the rent, so no that's not all you need.

"Octopus’s Garden" - ....................

"I Me Mine" - now I love George Harrison, he is my fave but I don't care much for this song. I even like Blue Jay Way, but not this one.

"One After 909" - just boring

"The Long And Winding Road" - any version of this song is crap.

"Get Back" - I don't really like it.

"Yesterday" - sorry people, boring.

My personal least favorite is Honey Pie. It just really bugs me for some reason (just to clarify I love Wild Honey Pie).

And I also love Revolution 9, but as a piece of sound art not as a song.

I'm a Loser - the lyrics are garbage, even for the early Beatles.

Sounds like it could've been written by Charles Manson

Well, I just have to say "Blue Jay Way" is utter crap. What were they thinking? Were they all stoned? George's voice sounds so awful, the arrangement (or lack thereof) is messy at best. Ugh.
