I don’t think Carry That Weight is that repetitive. You can hear the melody of “You Never Give Me Your Money” in that song which I think makes it a pretty cool song, and the transition from “Carry That Weight” to “The End” is also really good.
I agree. I actually would say it's my favourite Part of the Beatles Albums at all.
I Love the whole Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End Section, But especially "Carry That Weight".
It Just carries so much Nostalgia to me and kinda builds a climax to the more quiet Golden Slumbers Part (which is also beautiful)
whole abbey road's flawless
@@Getolp00 That’s exactly what I mean
@@MrYourwash Yeah it would honestly be really hard to pick a bad song from an almost perfect album
Of course "Carry That Weight" is a ridiculous pick. Essential for the medley and has a very deep meaning. The pick should have been "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," which is just an average track.
"Revolver is such a good album that even its worst song is an absolute masterpiece" PREACH
I really like Dr. Robert, but I don't know what would take its place.
Yellow submarine is on revolver as well and it is bloody awful.
@@marlonelliot8943 I want to tell you
@@iost5459 I like that song. Yellow Submarine is the answer
The hate on Yellow submarine I out of control. Is really that good. In fact, is probably the only album by then that is straight fire
I'm glad you didn't pick Octopus' Garden, that song gets way too much hate, it's easily Ringo's best work, and it being very child friendly does not take away from the fact that it is very well written and fun. Trust me, I'm a guy who picks mainly sadder and minor key songs, but I don't get how you could dislike that song.
I completely agree Graham!
Wow! I can't believe someone hates this song. I love it, the drums, the guitars, the vocals, that's an amazing song. One of the best Ringo's and George's best works on their respective instruments.
I always thought “Octopus’ Garden” has possibly George’s greatest guitar solo
Octopus is a great children's song as well as being nice musically. Yellow Submarine is on the other hand, absolutely awful!
Really? I rarely see it get hate, if anything people love that song and think it’s ringos best
"Tell me why" is such a great song
Not worst for me
I agree! Its just not my favourite 😊
@@istartedbeatlemania8098yeah most of the time I just narrow it down to the one in the album I love the least
I agree. BUT MAN "TELL ME WHY" whoa is not the worst....is one of the bests of that album...in my opinion...
I respect every opinion here, but I honestly love the reprise of Sgt. Pepper more than the original track, It’s just more fun of a listen to me, and the transition into A Day in the Life is honestly amazing. Great video!
The worst it’s easily Good morning, good morning for me.
I just don’t like that song at all
@@Morn__ same here but the reprise is beautiful
@@Morn__ I love that song. Very catchy. Within You Without You however, is an absolute turd.
“Unneeded” had me laughing
@@smurphftw2008 I love within you without you, it’s very hypnotic and psychedelic.
Good morning it’s catchy but annoying
I'm always glad when I see other people appreciating "For no one". The best unrequited love song ever written. Any other reflects so well what a break up is as it does.
Yeah, what always amazed me about that song was that Paul, who at that time could have virtually any woman he wanted, had youth, money, success, talent and probably never experienced anything truly heartbreaking was able to empathize to such a personal extent with people who were going through personal turmoils.
I suppose that's why The Beatles experience is so personal to each and every fan. For example Dr. Robert is probably my favorite song on Revolver but I know many people don't like it. A band that covers all tastes, amazing
definitely! i personally love doctor robert, but revolver is so good that even its worst song is incredible!
I think Doctor Robert sounds more like a Rubber Soul song, i think if they had switched it with say In My Life they would've suited each album better. Then again, you'd be taking the best song out of Rubber Soul.
unpopular opinion: “doctor robert” AND “for no one” are the worst songs on revolver, and i’m confused as to why people like them so much. they’re the only duds on what would otherwise be the greatest album ever recorded
@@kaphizmey6229 honestly I think Revolver as a whole is super overrated. I’m only sleeping, yellow submarine, doctor Robert, and I want to tell you are all extremely average compared to the rest of the Beatles’ catalogue and I feel like no one ever talks about that lol
@@jadedjimmy i agree in that revolver is certainly overrated (tbh, so is most of the beatles’ catalog to a degree), but “i’m only sleeping” & “i want to tell you” are some of the better written songs on there; i also think “and your bird can sing” gets overlooked a bit. really, the only two bad songs on revolver are the ones i initially listed
I honestly see Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/ The End as one song, the way they flow together and it hold so much nostalgia. I can't hate on Carry That Weight when it fits so perfectly. I'm just glad there was no Sun King slander when reviewing Abbey Road 😩 I honestly think it's so beautiful even tho it's a lil nonsensical...
Oh yeah absolutely. Honestly the only song I think is a little weak on that album is Maxwell’s silver hammer, but even that one is still super memorable
Sun King is honestly one of my favorites. I get some kind of "good morning text from your crush or a close friend" vibe from it. Sounds like something you'd hear when you wake up early, and check your messages and see somebody texted you "Good morning! Did you sleep well?" or something like that. Not sure why I feel this way.
I agree 100% with sun King! Its just so hypnotic in my opinion!
The whole second side of that album is one song. Sometimes I'll start the album there and just listen to that half.
I think I’m Only Sleeping is such an underrated song and my favorite on Revolver for sure
I agree I love that one
Ikrrrrr
that one + “and your bird can sing” are diamonds in the rough imho
Me too!
SO TRUE
Thank you for not having “All Together Now” as the worst on “Yellow Submarine”!! Everyone always does, and it makes me kinda sad. It’s a fun little tune and probably my favorite on the album!
No problem! I agree, I love all together now!!!
Bdmm dm dm, bdmm dm dm, bdmm dm dm, bdmm dm dm, One, two three four, can I have a little more? Five, six, seven ATE nine ten, I love you! I agree pretty cheeky
It is the worst of the original songs on the album. Having an already released song Yellow Submarine as worst song is cheating and speculates that all the songs on Yellow Submarine soundtrack are better than all but Dr. Robert on Revolver.
I love All Together Now!
I'm glad we have the same opinion. All together now always makes me happy.
How is “All My Loving” not the best song on “With The Beatles?” All My Loving is probably one of Paul’s best ever song in my opinion.
Its just not my favourite :)
Lady Madonna tho
Because that guy is wrong a lot, while you are correct.
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 yeah, understandable
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 I mean, not your favorite, but it's a video about "Best and worst song" XDDD
Honorable mentions: Dear Prudence, Eight Days A Week, Getting Better. Some of my faves.
Great songs!
You could make a strong case for "Eight Days A Week" being the strongest track on "Beatles For Sale." However, you can't make a good case at all for "I'll Follow The Sun." Lame.
@@chrissygerwitz520 strongly disagree. Eight days a week its really good, possibly one of their best songs. But I'll follow the sun its a nice, slow-paced yet quick, simple, and nice to understand song. Its good for all kinds of mood, while Eight days a week is faster and better when cheerfull.
@@leonardoruvalcaba4936 Well, disagree, then. That song is syrupy McCartney piffle at its worst. Pick again.
@@chrissygerwitz520 if thats your opinion its OK, just remember not everyone thinks the same.
Sgt pepper Reprise and A Day in the life coexist together. Sgt P Reprise is the last song in a concert and A day in the life is the one that they play as the real final song.
I'm not very good at expressing it in English, but in my country, Argentina, when they play the last song, they usually ask for more of the audience. "one more and we don't bother anymore"
Yeah, the encoure
¡Una más y no jodemos más!
In my opinion, if Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise is the last song of the album, then A Day In The Life is a song by The Beatles, and not by Sgt Peppers
"The Long and Winding Road" is one of the best songs every written--how could you leave it out?
Hi! So in my opinion, I prefer across the universe, but if you rather long and winding Road, I respect that too 👍
Big turn off for me... and 75% of the Beatles
@@liborsionko I agree across the universe is so overplayed
And let it be
The phil spector version is absolute dogshit
The White Album is probably the hardest album to choose a "best" song from because the entire album is jam packed with amazing songs.
No. 9
Still good,@@majormononoke8958, still good
So how is “Yellow submarine” not the worst on “Revolver”, but the worst on “Yellow submarine”. It makes not sense. At least say it’s bad because it’s already released
In my Opinion the best song on Abbey Road is I want you (she‘s so heavy) an absolute masterpiece
Agree 100%
Polythene Pam would like a word
Definitely agree
Agree 100%
Its been a year since I made this video, and in that year, I have come to appreciate i want you (shes so heavy) so much more, so I agree with you
I agree. Thanks for letting me know that "Revolution 9" is the worst. But in my opinion its terrifying but this isnt a song, this is a expiriment song
I'm not a George fan, I'm a John fan. Because and Oh Darling! are the best songs on Abbey Road. The harmony on Because is so beautiful 🥰
Agreed!
Not me. I love George’s songs.
But isn’t Oh Darling! a Paul song?
@@jet328i2 yes
I Want You (She's so Heavy) is the best by far
No way is "Tell Me Why" the worst track on "A Hard Day's Night". It's one of the best, easily. You're right about "Little Child" though, on "With The Beatles". It's possibly the worst Beatles song ever (including "Revolution #9" which at least is intriguing). It's so banal even Freddie and The Dreamers would have rejected it.
😂
Is not bad. But it's filler
I agree. Love John's vocals on this one.
Agreed. Either "I'll Be Back" or "When I Get Home" would have been better picks. However, "Little Child" is a fun rocking album cut, which doesn't deserve the hate that everyone gives it.
I agree that tell me why is not the worst on a hard days night
Bruh I love tell me why, I think it’s an underrated banger. But music hits us all differently
I guess so!
"The. Greatest. Song. Ever. Written." FACTS
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COMMENTS EVERRRR
Beatles devotee here: I have to say that this was a pretty good selection for the best and worst songs from each album though mine do differ from yours a bit:
Please Please Me: I can get behind your picks for this one. Only other songs I would say my best would be are Do You Wanna Know A Secret, A Taste Of Honey, and Chains (super underrated cover).
With The Beatles: Pretty good picks but I gotta listen to that album again. For best I would’ve went with All My Loving. Not sure about worst yet.
Hard Days Night: I would’ve went with And I Love Her for best again not sure about the worst.
Beatles For Sale: Controversial pic but I would’ve went with Kansas City Hey Hey Hey Hey for best. I love the riff, melody, and overall chaos of the song which I will admit can be a problem at times in other Beatle songs but I think it works on this one. For worst, I could probably get behind your pick for worst.
Help: Can’t go wrong with the title track. For me, I would have went with either Yesterday, It’s Only Love (another underrated one), or You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away. For worst, I could get behind your pick.
Rubber Soul: I’m with you for best on this one. Although I will say Nowhere Man has some of the best vocal harmonies that the Beatles ever did and Norwegian Wood is also amazing too. I can also get behind your pick for worst on this one but I agree that it is still a great song. So I mostly agree with you on this one.
Revolver: I completely agree with you on the album as a whole. Absolute masterpiece of an album. I can definitely get behind your best pick. For No One is way too underrated. It’s hard for me to pick a best on this one because almost all of the songs are unbelievable in how amazing they are. Songs that jump out to me are Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I’m Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, Good Day Sunshine, and Tomorrow Never Knows (which I probably would’ve went with). I could get behind your worst pick and your thoughts behind it though but like you said still a masterpiece.
Sgt Pepper: 100% agree with you on your best pick. To me, A Day In The Life is the greatest song ever written. I can see why your worst pick is the reprise, I will say it does have a purpose in that it closes out the album since it’s presented as a concept album before the encore being A Day In The Life. For worst, I would have went with Within You and Without You which is still a great song but not as good as the rest of the album. Again, another unbelievable Beatles masterpiece.
Magical Mystery Tour:
Your pick for best would’ve been my #2 pick behind Penny Lane (another crazy underrated song). For worst, I would’ve went with Blue Jay Way.
The White Album: My biggest agreement with you. I am 100% on board with your pick for Best and Worst.
Yellow Submarine: I can get behind you pick for best. I forgot how good of a song Hey Bulldog Was. However I disagree with your worst pick. I am actually a fan of Yellow Submarine. For worst, I would have went with anything from the back half of the album.
Abbey Road: This is my favorite Beatles album as well as favorite album period. I love every single song on this one. So I can’t do a best and worst for this album. I just love every song on this album so much. An absolute masterpiece of music.
Let It Be: I was pleasantly surprised with your best pick. Across The Universe deserves a lot more love then what it gets. So I could get behind that pick. Only other song I would’ve went with for best is The Long and Winding Road. That being said, I agree with your worst pick. Part of me wishes Maggie Mae was longer and more thought out cause the song definitely has potential.
So overall, great video and great picks.
Thank you! And thank you soooo much for taking the time to write this insightful, and thoughtful comment! It makes me so happy to see these!
'WTF?!!!!! Worst: Carry that weight??!!!! And Maxwell´s Silver Hammer???
@Leonardo_GGCH Well, the objective was to try to find what could be considered as someone's opinion of "worse" song on the each album. It is what it is...
I remember when this album were being released I thought that "Carry That Weight"
was one of their best songs on that album. I never got enough of it.
But then again I was only around 14 years old. But I still like it.
Maxwells silver hammer is one of the best on the album and I don't care what everyone thinks.
Now, let's talk about "I want you" for a moment.
Decent tune, but like carry that weight, repetitive, and like 4 times longer.
I think we have an obvious winner for the worst song
(Unless we're including her majesty)
@@nethercreature1624 really??
@@MultiBabaloo You sound like an excessive fan
I like all the songs just to be clear
I agree with you on “Across the Universe”, especially with the 2021 mix. The song became one of my most favorite songs on the album (Along with Let it Be, The Long And Winding Road, and Get Back) due to Spector’s remixing, Lennon’s vocals, and overall, very beautiful. The song also inspired me to make a drawing of the Let It Be album. Thank you John Lennon for bringing the song “in my life” (see what I did there?)
I see what you did there, very clever 😂
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 but we can agree that Across The Universe is very beautiful
@@Truefredking2 yes, its incredible!
I agree with most of your opinions. I definitely agree with Across the Universe. It is a top 10 Beatles song, 100%
Agreed 😎
I notice many of the worst selections were attempts at a country style. I mostly agree. So many of the choices are so excellent, it is hard to chose a best.
Definitely!
I would even say they were attempting Rockabilly, which was a primary influence during that time with Elvis especially. And they really admired Elvis as a group.
Some weird choices, man. Boys, Everybody is trying to be my baby, Yellow submarine, Dr. Robert and Carry that weight are great songs. And no way Across the universe beats Let it be.
Thank you for your opinions! Something to think about 🤔
Marcelo Dantas: While I realize it’s probably just my opinion against that of 5 billion others: ANYTHING beats “Let it Be”. What an unbearable piece of McCartney schmaltz!
@@ArkyMalarkey You are entitled to your own opinion, of course. And you probably abhor the religious overtones of "Let it be", and its reference to "mother Mary" and "words of wisdom". But it is not schmaltz, by any reasonable standards. It is a classic gospel ballad, perfect in the use of the I-V-VI-IV structure, with great vocals and harmonies, elegant use of piano and organ, and an inspired guitar solo. No violins, harps or saccarine, just a damn good melody. It is technically perfect.
In my opinion, Across The Universe is so much better than Let It Be. The melody is fantastic. The lyrics are earth-shatteringly beautiful. John's voice is so pretty on it (specifically on the Naked version). Let It Be is a work of sheer beauty but I don't think it comes close.
@@kristermabs1548 Across the universe is a great song, I agree. The lyrics, above all, are superb, one of John's best ever. The melody is also good, although a bit repetitive. I just wouldn't rank it above Let it be or even Get back because the arrangement never quite managed to get from the song all it had to offer. There are at least two famous versions of the song (the movie's and the one release in a charity LP) and none of them would rank as accomplished recordings.
Carry that weight is supposed to be listened to after golden slumbers. In my opinion the combination of these two is one of the greatest songs. And Carry that weight alone is better than mean Mr mustard, because or maxwells silver hammer, i think
Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I was expecting Maxwell's Silver Hammer (or Run For Your Life on...Rubber Soul, I think) to come up. Shocked neither of them did. I like both, but I see why people who don't hate it.
So happy you put I'll Follow the Sun as your favorite song on Beatles for Sale. I love No Reply but God damn its underrated
While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite song ever.
Its very good!
@@istartedbeatlemania8098There are many tunes i prefer on WA. I Will, Savoy Truffle, USSR, Long, Long, Long, Revolution 1,Rocky Raccoon, Birthday...
I think it's brilliant! Thank you for posting it. Its a great medlay that takes you through the history of the Beatles in a nutshell but best of all are your comments on each song which are astute and charming; insightful and just lovely, despite the economy of words. I agree with almost all, if not all, of your choices. Spot on! And I like the way you musically introduce each album. You're right that even the 'worst' of their songs are still brilliant. And, yes Revolution #9 is definitely out there... oh John, how we wish you were still here now. I'm sure you would have kept this crazy world a hell of a lot saner with your beautiful, wise madness - it still seems a lonely planet without you! Thank you again 'I started Beatlemania'.
Dizzy Miss Lizzy is actually my favourite on Help! lol
it is a good song! just not my favourite!
I love that you used the Anthology version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It’s my favourite version of the song
One of the many great things about the Beatles was / is / shall forever be, that even the majority of their 'weakest' songs are still great and pleasant to listen to.. Not really many bands could pull that off.
Looking at Abbey Road, you can’t take anything from the medley on side B as a single piece. Accurately rating that album, you have to hear everything from You Never Give Me Your Money on to The End. It all flows and connects wonderfully
Mostly mild disagreements. Where I strongly disagree are as follows:
1)Dr Robert being the worst track on Revolver when clearly the worst song is the banal Good Day Sunshine.
2) The reprise on Pepper is necessary to maintain the illusion of a concept album. Also it's a little funkier than the first track.
3) The best on Abby Road....obviously...is Here Comes The Sun.
4) Help is a great song....but Ticket to Ride is the best track on Help.
Loved the video.😊🍷
Oooh, interesting! And thank you!
Disagree with Ticket to Ride, but the rest make sense to me
The worst song on revolver is yellow submarinw
The best on Abbey Road is a four-way tie between Something, Oh! Darling, I Want You, and Here Comes The Sun
I very much agree about the reprise on Pepper being funkier than the first track and about Here Comes the Sun.
The best on Abbey Road is Because!
Great thing about the Beatles is they all individually had different styles. And it really would show depending on who wrote the song. John was more rock and raw. With a tad bit of darker elements/ being more real. Paul was rock n roll Elvis type but also the romantic and sad one. George was much more spiritual and optimistic with some compassionate and romantic songs as well. And idk ringo, still never figured him out lol
I guess Ringo is more like, 50’s honky tonky type stuff?
@@coolnamepending7604 yeah actually kinda 😂 nice
I love this!
Revolution 9 is genuinely my favourite Beatles song I understand why people don’t like it but it just feels so beautiful and I genuinely love it
Same. I like joking about that song tho
Your favorite???
@@smeebisesportzbebbins6200 Yes I love it
WHY
@@josemontenegrovargas7067 We are AI, we like order like No. 9
Their worst is better than many top music golden hits.
I agree 100%
Absolutely
I've always thought that Beatles For Sale would have benefitted with the inclusion of Leave My Kitten Alone instead of any of these three (Mr. Moonlight, Honey Don't or Everybody's Going To Be My Baby). I still think I'll Be Back is a highlight of A Hard Day's Night LP.
I agree!
This is true. The Beatles were known to have had a great affection for "kittens" To me Mr Moonlight is okay for about 30 seconds and then it starts to bother my nerves. I'll Be Back is a great tune!
Am i the only one who likes Mr. Moonlight? John's vocals are so good there
@@shomershabbos6291 No, Mr Moonlight is incredible. Words Of Love is worst track on For Sale
@@gettinhungrig8806 i'm happy i'm not the only one who thinks that, because i see it on every worst beatles songs lists
I feel like the one I most disagree with is Yellow Submarine. It's not my favorite song, not even my favorite sung by Ringo but I don't think it's the worst on the album. It's fun. It's hilarious. It's weird and Psychedelic which summarizes the Era. It's a good song.
The version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps you play is not the one released on the white album. The white album version ruins the song by overdoing it. The demo version (that you play) is much better but it was not released until much later.
While I love “for no one” I always have and always will, having listened to every Beatles song, think that Eleanor rigby is not only the best song out of not only revolver, but also any album the Beatles have made. Ever since I heard it, it has been my favourite, closely followed by a day in the life.
Listening to these songs for 45 years has taught me never to take a fixed position on good/bad as likely you'll change in time. I do have a general preference for Lennon led numbers though and a bit if an aversion to the Macca muso outings or 'music for grannies' as George commented. I can't possibly agree with the Revolver picks for instance!
Yes! My opinions change so quickly! They have changed since making this video!
3:10 I liked how they put the reprise here because it’s kinda like them saying “Hey the album is just about done but we have one more song for you!” I think it’s cool.
BRUH. Best Beatles songs for me: I saw her standing there, Boys, Twist and Shout, I wanna be your man, The night before, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Day Tripper, Drive my car, Paperback writer, Rock and roll music, With a little help from my friends, and the 1963 version of One after 909. Probably my favourite song ever.
I LOVE the one after 909!!!

@@BrendanJSmith EXCUSE ME!!😠😠WHAT ABOUT TWIST AND SHOUT??!🤨🤨
@@centoeberhardt1663 Second only to "I Saw Her Standing There."
Well, I agree with eight of your selections, which is about six more than the OP's, lol.
Another thing about Dizzy Miss Lizzy, a UA-camr who was talking about his least favorite Beatles song, made a good point about it being the last song on the album, especially since it comes after Yesterday.
He basically said that you hear Yesterday, and it’s so beautiful, with melancholic lyrics, minimalistic instrumentals that make the song feel so heartfelt and emotional.
Annnd then Dizzy Miss Lizzy plays, and it kinda spoils the mood. Its not a bad song, but ya do kinda get tonal whiplash going from Yesterday to Dizzy Miss Lizzy.
I was doing this with you, and I was trying to separate what my favorite songs on the albums were vs. what is objectively the better songs. Like for example, my favorite song on Help! is I Need You, and I know Help! Is a better song, so it was really just separating my favs from what is really the best on each album
The two albums I’ve listened to the most are Rubber Soul and The White Album (both of which are great), but the two best so far in my Beatles journey are Revolver and Abbey Road (in that order). Crazy that they made decades worth of material in that short a time period.
Revolver is one of my favourites too!
Kudos for recognizing the great "Hey Bulldog" which was not recognized for a long time. I enjoyed your takes.
Thank you!
Hey Bulldog is one of my top 5 Beatle faves of all time, from the drumming, guitar, singing and the bass driving the whole song along. And I love John and Paul's howling like dogs at the end - brilliant!
Yellow submarine surprised me, i personally love it
For your opinion on Abbey Road, I wholeheartedly agree that "Something is an amazing and beautiful song (not the best on the album in my opinion but that's really just testament to how great the rest of the album is), however I would disagree with "Carry That Weight" being the worst song. I think that the main motif has a nice, anthemic catch to it and the short returns of some ideas from "You Never Give Me Your Money" give some variety to it. However, the main reason I would not call it the worst song on the album is that I do not view it as a standalone piece. In fact I would argue that the entire section of the album from "You Never Give Me Your Money" to "The End" should be seen as one long song.
Worst song is easily "Maxwell's silver hammer" and I agree about the closing songs should be viewed as one rather good song.
George and Ringo on Maxwell:
"Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs," George Harrison later frankly admitted. "I mean, my God, 'Maxwell’s Silver Hammer' was so fruity. After a while we did a good job on it, but when Paul got an idea or an arrangement in his head."
Ringo Starr concurred, saying "the worst session ever was 'Maxwell’s Silver Hammer' It was the worst track we ever had to record. It went on for fucking weeks. I thought it was mad."

Pretty good list. The only problem I have is the worst of Sgt. Pepper and worst of White Album.
Sgt. Pepper is so good but so much of the second half is so jarring, Within You Without You and Lovely Rita, don't forget Good Morning Good Morning, these three songs drag down the album for me and the reprise is not bad by any means, because it's just Sgt. Pepper's but different- a reprise doing its job. I can't say it's bad because it's not needed, I say something's bad if it's Within You Without You.
White Album, plain and simple. I'd much rather listen to 9 minutes of "number 9" in my ears than hearing Wild Honey Pie again.
That's quite interesting!
Lovely Rita is good compared to good morning good morning
I'm getting so tired of all this hate for Within You Without You. It's such a beautiful, philosophical and groundbreaking track. The Eastern Instrumentation and the endless layers of deep, psychedelic sitars, tambura's en dilbura's makes this one of my favorite songs of all time. Even if you don't like the song personally, at least accept it's influence. Nobody did this in pop songs.
@@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205 I just don’t like Within You Without You
@@SoloSlater Even if you don't like the song personally, at least accept it's influence. Nobody did this in pop songs.
Opinions are like assholes....everybody has one, and they usually stink.
My personal favorite Beatle's song is Tomorrow Never Knows. Such a cool song.
I absolutely agree on Strawberry Fields. It's the best song I know. I also want Across the Universe to be played at my funeral. And Hey Bulldog...what a revival that song has been given. Considered as a throwaway and a deep cut, but what a gem it really is.
But I don't get why Flying are so often mentioned as a weak cut.
The weakest one for me on that album is clearly Baby You're a Rich Man. In fact I think that one is one of the very few stinkers in the catalogue.
I like Strawberry Fields too but I don't think it's the best song on Magical Mystery Tour

not to complain, but “tell me why” is my second favorite beatles song
What's your first?
Some of these, I straight p disagree with. Some I can see where you're coming from. My favorite was the White Album. By the time it got to that one, I was pausing and asking myself what my best and worst would be. (Called your worst on MMT.) White Album best for me is Julia. Then I looked at the pic of John on screen and said, "Worst? Sorry, John. Revolution 9." Lol, "Do I even need to explain? No. The answer is no." That gave me a good laugh.
😂
Opinions are opinions, but I strongly disagree with Sgt Pepper Reprise being unneeded. It not only connects Good Morning and Day in the Life well, but Ringo's beat at the beginning it's one of the most unique things of the album (and from the whole discog). Beastie Boys song Sounds of Science wouldn't be the same if they didnt sample Ringo's beat from it 💙 Anyway nice vídeo!
This is probably the best beatles ranking video I've ever seen.
All other rankings make me mad lol
I'm honoured! 😁
Yeah I agree it's a good ranking actually
I love Yellow Submarine, I don't care if it's a kids song 😂
Yes, I just get annoyed with it when people who have never heard another beatles song say "its the best song they wrote" 😂
At least it is very nicely put together with all the extra sounds going on in the background.
But the main melody is very plain and sounding childish.
But it helps that Ringo is doing the lead vocal on it. He has an extremely interesting voice
that really shines on this one. He manages to lift this tune to a higher ground.
@@istartedbeatlemania8098A friend of mine said she heard The Beatles and that they were horrible. I asked her what song she beard and she said "A song about a Yellow Submarine" 😂
Revolution 9 is definitely the worst song, and it’s on my favorite album.
The great thing with Beatles albums is there’s usually no clear cut best or worst song.
Revolution 9 is a big exception though 😂
Here comes the sun end:* soft guitar*
I saw her standing there end: YAAAAEAEAHAHAHAAAA
Doctor Robert and Flying are good songs to me!
Yes! I don't think they are bad, I just think that the other songs on the album kind of overshadow them
@istartedbeatlemania8098 Especially considering they are two amazing albums. Well, of course nearly all Beatles albums are.
You got two right: A Day in the Life is the best Beatles song, so therefore the best on Pepper and Revolution #9 is the worst Beatles 'song', so therefore the worst song on The Beatles.
Everything else was way off. But you don't really seem to like rock n roll as outside of I Saw Her Standing There, Hey Bulldog and Help! the bulk of the songs you choose were softer, In My Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, I'll Follow the Sun etc.
So your criticism is they pick too many soft songs, yet the best Beatles song is the relatively soft Day in the Life?
You dont make any sense at all
@@alexcrab318 Sorry do you not understand English?
@@grahamreece519 No, my opinion is that their opinion is wrong. And I certainly wouldn't call A Day in the Life a 'soft' song with the orchestral build up and ending. Certainly, not a conventional rock and roll song I would agree. But lyrically and musically a tour de force and performed expertly by both the band and the orchestra.
As for the softer comment, the list should be called 'favourite songs' as opposed to best songs since I don't think there is a single critic who would agree that I'll Follow the Sun is the "best" song on Beatles For Sale. Or that A Hard Day's Night, And I Love Her or Can't Buy Me Love aren't the "best" song on A Hard Day's Night.
I'm sure you take my meaning. But if you want we could certainly go through album by album, song by song, and discuss which other songs are objectively better, more culturally impactful, more important to recording techniques and/or commercially successful. As a staunch Beatles fan I obviously enjoy those conversations.
But, I think, if you reread my original comment all that is meant is that I agree with two of twenty-six choices. And then, add the modifier that they seem to enjoy the softer songs on the records as the reason. Which would explain why we only agreed on two tracks. There is no condemnation there, despite what you may have read into the text.
@@NasonJPR "Best" implies subjectivity, as there is no objective definition to the best and worst music. You shouldn't go into a video titled "Best and Worst song" with the idea that it is objective, or aligns with the opinions of critics; this is the definition of an opinion piece. It was never supposed to be about critical opinion; the video maker never claimed as such. And opinions on music taste being 'wrong' is a self-centered belief that shows your thought process being that you think your opinion is 'correct' rather than the actuality being that different people have different reasons to enjoy different things, and there is no 'correct' belief.
Also I didn't accuse you of 'condemning' them, I very clearly used the word criticism. Those are two completely different things.
This is like being forced to pick which is your favorite children, and your worst children!!
And as for Revolution 9, i feel like it’s one of those things where I don’t question how John wrote it (Yoko + a LOT of heroine, I imagine), but I do question how it even made it on the final album.
And the worst is that it’s around 8-9 minutes long, so it eats up a good amount of the album’s time. The only good thing about it being that long is, maybe you can take a break to get a drink or go to the bathroom while it’s playing.
😂😂
Revolution 9 isn't even a song it just not so good most opinions i agree with
Hi! I would personally class it as a song but i respect your opinion😊
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 thx
@@istartedbeatlemania8098
But how is it a song?? Because its 8 minutes saying the word 9 and random stuff
@@d6lan651 9 was a number that re occurred in John Lennons life alot, thats why they said 9 repeatedly for around a minute 🙂
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 ooooh ok thx for saying
Not a bad list. That would be my thoughts
PLEASE PLEASE ME
Best: Twist and Shout (John's vocals are outta this world)
Worst: A Taste Of Honey(nuthin but a bad boring ballad)
WITH THE BEATLES
Best: Hold Me Tight (John's lead and the harmonies are everything)
Worst: Please Mr Postman (also only boring)
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
Best: Tell Me Why(insanely underrated number with an amusing 3 part harmony and awesome guitars)
Worst: And I Love Her (boring vocals and just EVERYTHING, never understood why everyone loves it so)
BEATLES FOR SALE
Best: Baby's In Black (just one of the greatest ballads ever written with a terrific solo. Shea Stadium version just brought me to tears)
Worst: Mr Moonlight (awful vocals and organ)
HELP
Best: Dizzy Miss Lizzy (great vocals and lead guitar)
Worst: Help(never liked it, neither vocals, nor harmonies, though it has a few good fills and riffs)
RUBBER SOUL
Best: In My Life (this song has really absolutely nothing i don't like)
Worst: The Word (it's terrible sung and the piano sounds awful as hell)
REVOLVER
Best: For No One (great acoustic guitar and vocal, just a timeless gem)
Worst: Eleanor Rigby (boring vocals and everything)
SGT PEPPER
Best: Getting Better(great tanpura solo, lead guitar and vocals)
Worst: Within You Without You(too indian style)
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Best: I Am The Walrus (just the best one from this LP, but got no idea for which reasons)
Worst: Blue Jay Way (unimaginative boring shit that's horrible sung and played)
WHITE ALBUM
Best: Blackbird (an acoustic masterpiece with gorgeous lyrics and vocals)
Worst: Revolution 9 (i don't think i have to call reasons)
ABBEY ROAD
Best: Oh Darling (terrific vocals, guitar and piano, another one of these songs that has NOTHING you could dislike)
Worst: Her Majesty (though it's a funny one it's still my least favorite from this LP, even before Because
YELLOW SUBMARINE
Best: Yellow Submarine (just by far the best tune on one of their worst albums)
Worst: The whole B-Side (just terrible)
LET IT BE
Best: I've Got A Feeling (terrific lead guitar and an outstanding rock vocal by Paul)
Worst: Let It Be is actually TOO GOOD for worst ones, even though The Long And Winding Road is a little boring
Wow this is an amazing list and I agree completely for most of them! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this!
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 Man, thanks a lot for your kindness.😃😳I was excepting something completely different. You know, if i show this list other people, they often say, that's shit. You got no music taste. Piss off. Pretty mean huh?😂😂🤪🤪🤪
Mr Moonlight terrible vocals? It's got the best vocal performance on the entire album, I can understand not liking the song but saying the vocals are terrible is mental. Vocally it's incredible
I hate you
@@huh19298 ME??? 😳😳😠😠😠😠
You could maybe do your personal favorite/most underrated song from each album
Great idea! Thank you :))
@@istartedbeatlemania8098 no worries! Anytime!!! :D
Wild honey pie is an assault on the ears makes revolution 9 seem like a masterpiece
And i personaly like yellow submarine more than its all too much
The worst abbey road song is dear mister mustard or maxwells silver hammer
I agree with Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Even Paul McCartney doesn't even like it and he wrote it. I think if I remember reading correctly he said it was the worst Beatles song.
Aw, not Maxwell's Silver Hammer! I really get a kick out of that song!
You mixed up 2 songs i think, Mean Prudence isn't a song either
Mean Mr Mustard! 😊
@@penquin402I love Maxwell's, personally.
Quite surprised you didnt put yesterday. Also I think I would put here there and every where in revolver. Its such a magical song and I think one of the best love songs ive heared
My big 5 best beatles songs 1a day in the life 2 I am the walrus 3 something 4 Sgt pepper lonely hearts club band 5 hey Jude.i was born in 1969 I was raised on the by my older brothers n sisters all born in the 1950s
all amazing songs! i love the first 2 songs on your list!
Hey, just wondering how you create these videos? Like what software do you use
I use youcut from my appstore, im no tech wizz, sorry if you were expecting something more high-tech😅
This is such a good example of how truly great the Beatles were bc even their “worst” songs on each album are still great songs in their own right. Except for Revolution 9
Honestly I think the drumming on Boys goes pretty hard.
Certainly so!
Interesting choices. Great video.
Glad you think so!
Serious question: How did you play all the songs in the video without it being blocked by copyright?
Pretty spot on.... Also I think these video could be upgraded to a "songs ranked by each Album"
I love the Reprise on Sgt Pepper
nice vid mate

Agree on many choices. Very well thought out. Thanks.
No problem! And thank you!
Overall pretty good tier. Some personal changes:
-Best in Rubber Soul: Girl
-Worst in Sgt Pepper's: She's leaving home
-Best in white album: Happiness is a warm gun
-Worst in white album: Piggies
Oh my God FINALLY With She's Leaving Home I absolutely agree!!! I keep seeing people claim it as the best song of all time, but bro did nothing but stay in the key of E major and do a generic running away story.
Good ranking! Did you know that the album Yellow Submarine was Actually before The White Album Yellow Submarine was a movie the Beatles released on November 13 1968 and the songs on that album were released in the movie and the White Album was released on November 22 1968 Yellow Submarine was before the White Album ;)
Ask me ANYTHING but not to rank The Beatles albums LOL! Good choices, my friend!
😂
With Abbey Road I consider the Medley as one song so I choose that as the best.
Worst would probably be Her Majesty
Not A Second Time might be their most underrated song. Hell, I'd say about half of the stuff they did before Rubber Soul is underrated
Very true!
4:17 what is the meaning of Hey Bulldog???
Oh yeah I also want to know
The "worst" song from every album would be the whole career of any other successful band !
The Beatles are absolutely revolutionary!
Carry The Weight is a song that you need to hear along with Golden Slumbers, I always do it and it's an amazing experience.
I need your best the beatles song playlist!
I absolutely ❤ your comments. All of them.
And i agree with u in many of ur choices.
