I really like it
The Heavy drums, sneering vocal by Lennon and amazing harmonies by Mccartney.
It really does show the Beatles maturing in sound.

Hello Goodbye is what got me into the Beatles. I love that song!
I think it's, if anything, underrated.

Hello Goodbye is overrated and I wouldnt like it if it werent for that great bit at the end. Michelle is also horribly overrated, Mcartneys wrote tons of better love songs than that.
Revolution is overrated, but its misunderstood. Lots of people think of it as a song inciting revolution within the hippy community when it really isnt.

I really Like Yellow Submarine, not for it as a song as such, but for what it stands for.
The brass parts really do feel like its all a dream, or such.
I just love the way the Beatles first started getting into the bright psychedelia, with the hard edged sound style they adopted. Yellow Submarine always reminds me of Lewois Carol..its that whole coastal theme, the Walrus etc..I always think of that scene from Alice & Wonderland...with the huge waves etc.
I think its a great sound, and fits nicely on Revolver.

'All You Need Is Love' is overrated along with 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. Both songs bore me.

Despite what Paul says these days, YELLOW SUB was not regarded as a children's song or a fun song when it came out in 1966. There's something sad about the song. I've never been able to explain it. Perhaps it's a song about retreat, and protecting yourself from the world. I don't know.
Have you ever heard children singing it properly, not just the chorus: "In the town where I was born/lived a man who sailed to sea/and he told us of his life/in the land of submarines/so we sailed out to the sun/till we found the sea of green/and we live beneath the waves/in our yellow submarine". I tell you, when children sing those words, it is VERY SPOOKY.

I had to sing Yellow Submarine for the school's Spring Concert once, when I used to be in the choir. I didn't really think much of it, but then again I was only 10.

Get Back,Michelle,Hello Goodbye,Lady Madonna,Can't Buy Me Love,Yesterday,and Paperback Writer are all overrated. They're great songs,but not as great as many underrated Beatles songs-like I'm So Tired,If I Fell,This Boy,Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite,Rain,And Your Bird Can Sing,or She Said,She Said. I'd take any of the latter group over all of the former.
