good topic

While I don't really dislike the song that much, Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds is my least favorite song on Sgt. Pepper's.

another song that I don't really dislike but will never understand why so many people love it is Here Comes The Sun.

Hello Goodbye is a song I used to hate because it's a bit cheesy (the lyrics in particular) but lately I have come around to the idea that it's just a fun, bouncy song with some pretty good riffs....but I still usually skip it.

I dislike several of John's popular pre-Rubber Soul songs including No Reply, I'm a Loser, If I Fell, and I'm Happy Just To Dance With You


It's great...it sold...it's the bloody Beatles' White Album, shut up

I skip a lot of George when he started getting into western music. Mostly on Revolver.
I think the songs I skip depend on what kind of mood I'm in.
I know I do skip Dear Prudence every time, mostly slower songs of theirs with some exceptions, Yesterday, let it Be, ect.
act naturally
some of Beatles for Sale
it just depends

I realize this will make very unpopular, but I AM THE WALRUS. I hate it! It just grates on my nerves.

I'm not too keen on I Want You or Don't Let Me Down either.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Dudes, we're supposed to be listing popular songs that you don't like, not just songs you don't like. From what I know, A Taste of Honey is almost universally loathed and Dig a Pony is not too popular either.

I have to agree though I am stunned at some of the answers.  But to each his own!

And see, I'm loving this thread! Because it just goes to show once again how the Beatles all complimented each other. Some of my very favorite songs on Abbey Road (just to pick one album) are "Here Comes the Sun", "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", which have all been loathed by someone earlier on this thread. Wow! I play those the most.

Just from Abbey Road, Paul rates the "scream and skip" reaction for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (I'm not unique there) and also "Oh! Darling", which I just can't stand. I don't like most of the White Album which many people love, and I'm indifferent to much of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. For both of these, generally the John songs win.

I like their earlier "band in action" stuff, where they're playing as a group. Also, I came to the Beatles late in life, so I didn't develop a relationship with each album as it came out. I suppose that's why Abbey Road is my favorite, because I did have that one back when I was a teen. I actually got into the Beatles through George's solo work. His Beatles work (except for AR and a couple of cuts off the WA) isn't as strong as his solo stuff, in my opinion. For Lennon and McCartney, I think it's the other way around.

I won't go into the singles that I just can't stand because I don't have to play them-- ha-hah! No skipping is required. But I acquired my Beatles library pretty quickly and, shall we say, developed a relationship with certain tracks, whereas others failed to charm. Sorry, boys! No one can hit it out of the park every time.

No one is perfect, they sure came stinkin close!  But yes, even they have some songs that are not that great.  But they more than make up for it.  

Other ones I usually skip, but not always, A Taste of Honey and Tell Me Why.

Yes, well said, HeatherBoo!

And it's absolutely driving me crazy so I have to add I also love George's songs on RS and Revolver. I love both of those albums--fun, relevant, and witty. Whew! *wipes brow from the pressure*
