The Only Beatles Song I Do Not Like
-
I love every one of those songs mentioned. It was "All Together Now" that I used to avoid, but I've mellowed since.
-
Not one song I dislike.... even Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da, which at times used to annoy me in my younger days, has taken on new wings through my maturing years.... even though not my cup of tea (and I'm a coffee man), it is actually an enormously clever song... not my cup of Joe, but it is so diverse, it is almost brilliant. ps. I don't include Revolution #9 as a song, so that is automatically exempt.

ps. The Ballad of John And Yoko.... A1..... the last verse.... those two in harmonious unison... makes the song. And the closing riff. Wonderful.
-
Mr Moonlight , Wild Honey Pie, What Goes On, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, Till There Was You and I know this will upset the people here...While My Guitar Gently Weeps and not CRAZY About Nowhere Man

Yes. 100% agree. They are so ON together during this recording. I love it.

I'm a hack guitarist - like, a real hack - but I made sure I learnt that last little lick from that song!

I used to not like Mr. Moonlight and skip over that one. But now I even like that one! I cringe a little when I hear The Word, because the lyrics are so powerful and the music doesn't seem to fit, almost like a throwaway. But it is what it is, and that's how they wrote it.

Revolution 9. Cool song title but horrible "song". It's only one I can maybe listen to all the way through every 4 or 5 years or so. It never quite gels with me for some reason.

I love it, and the fact it's on The White Album is just one more reason it's my favorite Beatles' album.

I'd have to go with Abbey Road as their best and my favorite. Again, that's the beauty of this place. So many different prespectives.

John and Paul both together and individually...at this period of time...were collectively challenging...the entire human race...with the concepts of love and peace I can't think of a better resume to have.

I figured it out today. The only Beatles songs I ever skip are the two they recorded in German..."Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Sie Liebt Dich". I prefer the originals in English.

1- Strawberry Fields Forever 2. Don't Pass Me By 3. Come Together 4. Yellow Submarine

I never skip anything. I've always found Revolution 9 extremely cool, perfectly introduced by that Can You Take Me Back? snippet. When I first got the blue album at the age of 12, I didn't like that whole run of Don't Let Me Down, Ballad Of J&Y, and Old Brown Shoe, but they all won me over. Not a big fan of Mr. Moonlight: great vocal, but horrendous solo. Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby: spirited performance, but too much echo on George's voice, and the subject matter, in a word: ick! Dizzy Miss Lizzie: great vocal from John, but I just want to put my hand over the guitar playing that relentless riff! Give it a rest every once in a while! The Word: again, just a relentless guitar riff that overwhelms everything, and the organ is a little much. Yes It Is: beautiful harmonizing, but the guitar effect that worked so well on I Need You is just kind of nauseating to me here, and the lyrics I find just silly.
