just wondering what songs of the Beatles you can't listen to, skip when it comes on or that just plain bores you, but others favor hugely?

for me i cant listen to these songs or tend to skip them quite a lot


A hard days night ( i always skip this when im listening to a hard days night)
yesterday ( just heard so much growing up on radio or tv and just does nothing for me now )
Norwegian wood
in my life ( apart from the nice intro i find it very overrated )
im only sleeping (yawn)
Taxman
lucy in the sky with diamonds
a day in the life
while my guitar gently weeps
let it be ( the worst offender for me, never listen to it )
something (nice bass work and drum work)
across the universe




so what songs dont do it for you ?

I skip Let It Be, sometimes Love Me Do, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Ballad Of John And Yoko and sometimes Come Together. These are songs I don't care about too much, but are pretty well known.

"Helter Skelter." It's a noisy prank of a song that's hardly worth all the airplay it gets over here. Jokes get tired when they're repeated too often.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Way to long and boring
Strawberry Fields Forever - This song bores me too. Dont know why but it does. Its always skipped.
Lady Madonna - I hate this song
Get Back - Always gets skipped or turned off if its on the radio
All You Need Is Love - One of the most annoying songs ever
Long And Winding Road - This song has more fluff than a marshmellow factory
Dont Let Me Down - Never did anything for me
Across The Universe - Bores me to tears
Rock N Roll Music - Hate it
Twist And Shout - Its ok, but if I hear it again I might have to jam two railroad spikes in my ears

Hmm...

The Long and Winding Road

Most others I like.  I mean there are some that I occasionally skip, but The Long and WInding Road I really dislike. I never listen to it.

I read somewhere (and I can be wrong) that The Long and Winding Road was Paul's least favorite song.

He didn't like what Spector did with it. The orchestra and women's vocals. Other than that, I'm sure he thinks it's brilliant. I like how John called it his "last gasp." I think he was a little off in that presumption though. As usual.

I can't believe some of the songs people skip over! I'm shocked. And stunned. Shocked and stunned.

This is what Paul originally had in mind for "The Long and Winding Road." I really like this version myself. There's a different take (or at least mix) on Anthology 3.
