What do you think is the most overrated Beatles' song?

I'd say Yellow Submarine

I'm going to bet most people are going to say Yesterday, but I vote for Come Together.

Norwegian Wood.

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

sgt peppers

ive never like loved it that much

What? Sgt. Pepper's is one of my favorites Beatles songs of all time!

I want to hold your hand

Come together is a clever shout. Not much goin on when you think about it. Very acclaimed and covered. I don't hate it, just a bit over-rated.

I'll go for two songs, which are VERY overrated imo.

MICHELLE is just so dopey. Sing the lyrics with Paul, and you'll see what I mean. But most people seem to like it a lot.

LONG & WINDING ROAD gets a lot of raves. But to me, it feels like Paul sat down to write another great piano ballad, but inspiration had gone. The tune feels ordinary, and the lyrics - well, the best that can be said is that they're better than MICHELLE's!

What? Lady Madonna is SO not over-rated! If anything it's under-rated!

Not to worry. I also am. I think Norwegian Wood's overrated.

I agree.


Oh, and I think Can't Buy Me Love is also a bit overrated.

Hello Goodbye and Please Please Me

Can't Buy Me Love is the song that got me into The Beatles so i have to disagree with you there, Lostio.

Yes, I like the song as well, but I think it's given too much attention.

Hello, Goodbye is pretty overrated. It's not the most overrated song, but...sort of like something John once said -- it's just a big contradiction of itself.

Not that it isn't fun to listen to. XD

I think Help! is over rated, good song still.
and Ticket to Ride, that song just sucks, catchy though.

i dont think help! is overated at all

i dont realli like ticket to ride though

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.

Am i the only one who loves Michelle?

Revolution rocks, i'd call it underrated

Nope, I love Michelle as well.  The French refrain is a little schmaltzy, but it fits into the album nicely and it's a great tune on its own.

Now as far as overrated goes, I gotta agree with Yellow Submarine.  Man I really don't like that track; it's the only reason Revolver doesn't get better than an 8 outta 10 from me.  (and they made me learn it when I started playing guitar   )

over rated?hhhmmmmm......i am getting to hate i saw her standing there.
i think don't bother me is a forgotten gem.
have you noticed pauls songs are popping up more than others.

only yellow submarine is overrated, all the other songs are rated just as they're supposed to be rated

Lol! I knew you were going to mention Paul, you basserd!

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.

yellow sub while not my fave is definately a beatles fun song.i don't think it was intended to be a hit but a comedy song of sorts....

I love Michelle, Yellow Submarine and Hello Goodbye.

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'd have to agree with Yellow Sumbarine. If i mention the beatles at school i can garantee some idiot will start singing it

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.

I like Yellow Submarine, btw.

I would say Yesterday, but She loves you either one  

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.

I´ve never been fond of Get Back nor Michelle.

The Long and Winding Road. =\ You see it all over those musical clocks, stuff like that. It's pretty dull, to me.

...Yellow Submarine needs more love. <3 It's awesome. Ringo's vocals aren't the greatest ('s-*voicecrack*-lubmarine'), but...wow. Really original, yellow submarines and all that jazz.

I want to hold your hand- overrated
Hey jude- overrated, but still very good
