Octopus Garden/Yellow Submarine ..........................I love the Long and Winding Road.
My favourite - Here Comes the Sun.
Octupus garden or Yellow submarine...
Agree Soozy, Long & winding road is beautiful
I'd go with Yellow submarine... I suppose it sounds like one for the kids, but still doesn't feel like its aged well. Doesn't really matter though as the rest of their catalogue backs it up.

At the time it struck me a last desperate, sing something simple, ballad as the wheels were coming off. You could imagine someone singing it on the X Factor.
Back in the USSR was never a favourite of mine or Come together
Norwegian Wood?
nah nor me
yet i sing along to them lol
Also agree that The Long and winding road is one of the best Beatles songs ever.. each to their own though. I think although the Beatles did some amazing stuff and I love them there were a few turkeys... Hello Goodbye was lyrically shoite imo, and I am the walrus, octopuses garden, come together, back in the ussr. A few that people have already out funnily enough. There are many many many more that I love though!
My favourite Beatle song is She's Leaving Home

Is there a bad Beatles song? I suppose Yellow Submarine is awful, but I did like it at the time

gotta be octopus's garden for me
Back in the USSR was never a favourite of mine or Come together
dont like back in the USSR but love come together
can't beat a bit of toe-jam football
Winding Road doesn't do it for me. I like something with a bit of bounce and oomph
Lovely Rita Meter Maid is a bit shit

"Shit" is probably a bit of an over statement but it's not the best by any means.

No, it's shit!
IIRC, the NME described "Let it be" at the time as "a good half-album". There was a lot of filler there, which would probably be on my list of worst Beatles songs.
However, have you heard "Let it be... Naked"? Dreadful title, but very interesting album.
Basically, the Beatles had never been happy with how the album turned out, and the Phil Spector arrangement of the title track particularly rankled with Paul McCartney. "Let it be... Naked" was a "Take 2": the track list was re-arranged with most of the "filler" dropped; the Lennon song "Don't let me down" was brought back in; and the OTT Spector arrangements were redone. "The long and winding road" and "Let it be" in particular are stripped right down, with the latter sounding more like it belongs in a church than ever before...
Octopus Garden/Yellow Submarine ..........................
Bill Hicks used to cite these in his rants about drug use:
"The Beatles were so high, they let Ringo sing a couple of tunes."
Yep, that'd be good!
Not such a fan of Paul... he can be a right senile old c*nt. The appearance on x factor, grammy awards and kissing Cowell and One Directions arses confirm it.
I liked George, he was the quiet one but if something needed to be said he'd say it.
Well it ain't this..
Is that worst as in the title of the fred Donks, or the best?
Well it ain't this..
You're dead right .........that's a great one

It is
Octopus's Garden and Yellow Submarine are pants.
And so is With A Little Help From My Friends.

That's nearer the best sprouty...

Yeah, Joe Cocker, an' all that aside....The Beatles version with Ropey Ringo on vocals was a howler.
