Most overrated Beatles song...

    "Hey Jude"

    Not a Beatles fan by any stretch, with possible exception of "Get Back."

    I prefer most of the solo stuff, especially McCartney.

    "Hey Jude" is an instant channel changer.

    "All You Need is Love".
    I love 99.9% of their catalogue but this one seemed too much like an 'exhibition'....almost like it was the winner of an an amateur songwriting contest.
    Ignoring "Love" then it's "Love Me Do".

    Yes !! Hey Jude and Let It Be are instant channel changers.

    BTW a clue for you all : The walrus was Paul

    The best Beatles song is "I Dig a Pony."

    As for bad ones, I've never cared for "Michelle," "Hey Jude," "Strawberry Fields" or "Penny Lane."

    Pretty much where I am at. As great as they were Beatles songs just don't bring that
    great adrenalin rush. Only Beatles song on my Ipod is While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

    I still listen.

    I've got a playlist I've been listening to quite a bit that has 'Dr. Robert' on it.

    Hell, I'll play.

    Paul is. And I like Paul. But Paul.

    Ridiculous. It's George by a mile. He didn't even play lead guitar on his own ode to guitars.

    Big Beatles songs that don't excite me so much.

    --Got to Get You Into My Life
    --Hard Day's Night
    --Let It Be

    I didn't write George was as good/influential as Paul, although "Something" is an all-timer, even in that group. I'm writing Paul is regarded, at this point, well beyond George and even a bit beyond Lennon, and that overrates him.

    To each their own, though.
