I had no idea people disliked Yes It Is so much. It’s one of my favorites that didn’t make it on to any of their studio albums, it’s very sweet and calming.
Because alot of Beatles ‘fans’ just go “hurr durr i like the drug music” or sing the same two songs like Blackbird and Here comes the sun with a Ukulele.
Yes It Is is good, but to me This Boys fits better than yes It is, they both are Sad and they both have good vocal (Sorry I don't speak english rly well :l)
In my opinion Revolution 9 works in the sense that it represents the fullest extent of the lack of continuity the White Album has. I’ve heard the White album described in the past as three people each trying to steer the same boat as it drives head first into an Iceberg, and in that sense Revolution 9 is incredibly indicative of their artistic disagreements. Lennon and Yoko released a few albums around the same time period with the same Avant-garde mentality, and Paul and George reportedly didn’t want it on the album, which makes perfect sense seeing as Lennon probably would have cut a few Paul songs given the chance (and considering his later comments probably would have cut some of his own songs out). To criticize Revolution 9 for not being a Rock song on a “Rock album” misses the point imo. The White album is a “Rock album” in the loosest way, half of Paul’s songs on the album don’t even feature electric guitars. It conceptually relies on not being cohesive and a subtly disturbed undercurrent looming underneath. In this sense, Revolution 9 could be seen as the release of both tinge chaotic and disturbed tension built up over the album as the drastic tone and musical shifts between (and in some cases within) songs and the depressed and dark themes in songs like Long Long Long, Julia, Dear Prudence, Yer Blues, etc. release in an inexplicable avant- grade fiery explosion. Idk, maybe I’ve watched too many David Lynch movies or something, but that’s my impassioned defense of Revolution 9.
Wow you discribed excactly how I feel about the white album. That build up of tension is something i’ve always felt when I listen to it. And I also agree that revolution 9 fits perfectly because of it
I don’t have the heart to skip Wild Honey Pie. After a long day, I sometimes just need a good laugh, and that’s what Wild Honey Pie gives. Great video by the way.
Oof, as someone who prides herself in having listened to The Beatles' whole discography, I completely forgot about Matchbox, and there're some songs which I remember as the "ones I always forget they exist", but Matchbox doesn't even get that honor. Also, I won't allow the Good Night slander, I love it.
The same thing happens to me with You Know My Name, besides that it makes me disastrous I do not know at what stage of time The Beatles dared to create it
Hot take: Revolution 9 is the epitome of musical shitposting. Many people were pissed off by it, while some snobs spent too much time analyzing it. Its just a masterfully put-together work of trolling, and its just brilliant. The fact that its on the White Album makes it even more perfect
6:50 I think that's a bad take because they literally have the heavy metal song Helter Skelter on the same album as the soft folky song Blackbird. White Album is known for having a variety of flavors musically.
God somebody finally understands my feelings for Dizzy Miss Lizzy. I adore the song alone but... my god Help would be so much better if it just closed with Yesterday. It would be an unquestionable masterpiece, but now I have to think of the singular, bopping, yet strange inclusion at the end.
I love Good Night, but I also think it’s very cool that most “least favorite Beatles song” lists have at least one song on them that provokes outrage. It shows how deep and consistently great the catalogue is.
I’m gonna be honest I love revolution 9 and good night. I love the way it ends the album. revolution 9 feels so dark and ominous yet goodnight feels so warm and pleasant. I think the two compliment each other super well just with how different they are. I also can appeciate the beatles for making such a bold move on the White album. I get why people aren’t into it but it’s genuinely one of my favorite endings to any album.
Revolution 9 fits the more open-minded and less defined flow and style of the white album. it's not supposed to be a pleasurable listening experience, more of an uncanny inclusion that defines the Beatles willingness to push expected musical and artistic boundaries as the absurdly famous band they were.
I love how over 50 years later you can argue that "Revolution #9" is still the most experimental track ever included on a Number 1 album. (I'd be curious to hear any other nominations for this title?) To me when I'm in the mood for it "Revolution #9" is a great trip. there's just so many little things to listen to. I think in the olden days of listening on an LP it would have bothered me more but now I often just stop the White Album after "Cry Baby Cry" (it's a long af album anyway) but when I do listen to "Revolution #9" I often find it quite interesting.
Came for the funny avatar, stayed for the 8 inch George joke. This is just some top notch quality editing, discussion and humour. Keep up the good work!
I love YES IT IS. One of my favorite Beatles tracks. If you ever wanted to give it another chance, I'd recommend listening to the version on Beatles Anthology 2 because it shows the transition from the demo to the final version of the song in a way that represents what made early Beatles so great.
Wild Honey Pie is actually one of my favorite Beatles songs. It literally slapped me in my face on the first listen, and I couldn't help but love it for that.
I've always thought of Yes It Is as an underrated gem. I love the unique guitar sound they made with the volume pedal, almost sounds like some kind of wind instrument. Beautiful harmonies as usual, plus the lyrics are pretty mature for the period.
That's because you have ears. Yes It Is would be the best song by most groups. It's only love opens side two of The US Rubber Soul, the best RS and the album that inspired Pet Sounds and it's lovely. Some things can't be explained. Some folks think they have better taste than the Beatles 😂 🤣 😂
Personally, I've always thought "Good Night" was creepy, but had it's own aura when put in context with the Charles Manson thing. I kind love the way it ends the album in that way, but also in the way I would assume John Lennon felt it should end the album
Yes It Is is the prelude of all the beautiful Beatle harmonies from the latter years. Their vocals are much naked than in any singles they had. For people who love their voices, this is a nice opportunities. You don't lose anything for hearing this song.
As someone MASSIVELY creeped out by Run For Your Life, I can certainly see where you're coming from, and agree with the points you made. Also, THANK YOU for not including Maxwell's Silver Hammer. As a theatre kid, I LOVE that song, and it has a similar feeling to songs like Everybody's Got The Right, Unworthy of Your Love, and The Ballad of Sara Berry, which are also dark, upbeat, AMAZING songs.
I love Maxwell’s Silver Hammer! I understand it kind of sticks out a bit on Abbey Road compared to the other songs but it’s very very catchy and kind of goofy and fun. It shows The Beatles diversity I think
The only Beatles song I can't stand is "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill". It's very repetitive and annoying,I swear it's the worst chorus in any Beatles song (But i really like that spanish guitar intro). It's one of the two songs I skip when listening to the white album, I also skip Revolution 9, I don't think it's a terrible track,but my god 8 minutes is too much.
i simultaneously do and dont understand the hate for revolution 9. like yeah it doesnt really fit with anything else the beatles did, and i dont find it especially pleasant to listen to but at the same time, the white album is already kind of all over the place, in a good way. id probably dislike it more if it was on any other album but the white album is definitely the most fitting, plus i appreciate the fact a band so popular released something so weird and avant garde. i also think good night is actually pretty good in the context of being the final track after revolution 9, i probably wouldnt often listen to it on its own, though.
I actually enjoy "Good Night" and "Wild Honey Pie." I think WHP is hilarious. But that was the right call on Revolution 9. I don't mind experimental music, but yeah, it's painfully out of place.
Great video! Worst Beatles songs are always bound to ruffle _someone's_ feathers, but I think you did a really good job with explaining your positions (and overall stellar editing and humor). I will defend Goodnight and Revolution 9, though, in saying that Revolution 9 works in its context in the white album, and Goodnight works in its context after Revolution 9. See, the white album is characterized by its chaos. No two songs are alike. I think of Back in the USSR (an amped-up '50s Classic Rock song about a Russian spy) transitioning into Dear Prudence (an introspective, sensitive acoustic tune), The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill (an annoyingly goofy satire) playing before While My Guitar Gently Weeps (a melody oozing with soul and passion), Helter Skelter (a painfully heavy metal song with screaming and intense percussion) transitioning into Long Long Long (a haunting, somber ballad about reconciliation with God), and Honey Pie (a cheery Vaudeville-inspired one-off) coming right before Savoy Truffle (a suave 60s jam with full-sounding saxophones and twangy guitars) as the most obvious back-to-back demonstrations of the album's extreme contrast. I also think that Wild Honey Pie works for this reason-- it's a silly interlude reminding the listener not to get too comfortable or take the album too seriously, but that's besides the point. It's an idiosyncratic, absurd, and random compilation of each Beatle's individual creative direction, interests, and most importantly, sound, from his own isolated corner; not working together, but against each other. Each song is its own self-contained story; a pitch, trying to sell you on John, Paul, George, or Ringo's unique vision that they want to convey. It's counter-intuitive, but that eclectic pattern actually gives the album continuity and a sense of flow. The album is the embodiment of the phrase "method to the madness." It also showcases the brilliance of the blank and now iconic cover: no expectations (no payoff), no way to constrain it conceptually, no way to pin it down. The lack of a theme _is_ the theme; the lack of cohesion _is_ what makes it cohesive. It's simply undefinable, and that's makes it such a great LP. With all this in mind, take everything I said about the album (chaotic, contrasting, idiosyncratic, random, working against itself) and pack into an eight minute and fifteen second cacophony, and what you get is Revolution 9. In other words, Revolution 9 is the culmination of everything the white album stands for. Goodnight is the falling action (Can You Take Me Back Where I Came From is also an ominous introduction from the tail-end of Cry Baby Cry). It's a soft, lush melody to wash down the track that preceded it as a heartfelt send-off. Those final two tracks condense and represent everything about the white album, and personally, it works to great effect in the same vein as all the other pairs.
@@jacobhayes421 true but what about I’m a loser, baby’s in black, I’ll follow the sun, every little thing she does, words of love, I don’t wanna spoil the party, and what you’re doing? Also I agree. I think With the Beatles is their worst album.
I agree, Beatles for sale does slap and has some of the Beatles most recognizable hits like eight days a week or no reply like Jacob Hayes said but it isn’t the best album of there’s but it definitely doesn’t need so much hate
@@gapenewell609 I agree that Beatles for sale gets too much hate.... EXCEPT FOR ONE SONG EvErYbOdY's TrYiNg To Be My BaBe that song is an underrated abysmal gem
"Sour milk sea" is definitely the one song that should have been included in the White Album. In fact I wonder why Georg Harrison did not put in on his "All things must pass" album. With a length of 3 LPs there should have been enough space for it.
It’s because he gave it to an Apple signed artist named Jackie Lomax to have as his first single, Needless to say that wasn’t a good idea 💀 A lot of rejected/ unreleased songs by them were given to other artists actually
Thank you for putting my comment in the video. And I agree with you. I like dig it and Maggie May but there just short little ditties and not full fledged songs.
Revolution 9 is one of the absolute highlights of The White Album. Also - there's a great early version where it was just part of Revolution (hence the break into 1 & 9 eventually). I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's also hidden away on side 4, so if you don't like it then don't stick on side 4. Also in terms of "it's style", it's actually quite carefully boiled down, not as elongated and all encompassing, you can see that they've kinda "popped" up that kind of sound. The tracks that are "nothing" are the ones that are actually bad, stuff like Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9 and Good Night all achieve exactly what they intend to.
I love “yes it is” and “goodnight”. “yes it is” gives me a vibe that I can't explain, I just love it, and “goodnight” relaxes me, Ringo's voice sounds so angelic there, and at the end where he whispers- it's so cute 💔
In 2020 on a road trip before the pandemic, me and my Brother called Wild honey pie "The destruction Song" We would replay it the whole time, over and over, and laughed everytime. Now when i listen to it alone, it feels so sad as he just says "Yes, I remember it, go away."
My least favorite has to be “Within and Without You.” I hate the Sitar, and in my opinion this is the only song that keeps Sgt. Peppers from being a perfect album, and I hate it for that.
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon I disagree so hard with Dizzy Miss Lizzy and Little Child. Badass little rockers. I also don't think Dizzy Miss Lizzy is a bad closer for Help! Of course Yesterday fits great but i also love that they decided to put straight behind it some fast, hard, rocky stuff. In my opinion they ALWAYS knew what they did, except for Abbey Road. The End would be such a great closer but instead of leaving things be the way they are they have to change something. Her Majesty would've fit way better on Let It Be.
I absolutely love goodnight. To me it’s such a soothing song and has really calmed me down when I’ve been extremely stressed out. Revolution 9 however…
I don't think Wild Honey Pie can be considered bad because the intention obviously was not to make a great song, but to have fun. The intention is always something very important to understand before saying a song is good or bad.
Fun fact: I can play Revolution 9 on piano! You can do it too! Just smash your fingers all over the keys, say "number 9" repeatedly, and mix in some laughing and Yoko screams. Easy peasy! And it's sounds lovely and proffesional.
As a hardcore Beatles' fan (and an expert in all things rock and pop) from the early 50s, throughout the golden era, until the early 2,000s... I must say 🟥🟩🟨🟧☮️🟧🟨🟩🟥 Your analysis and ranking are both spot-on! 🍏👽💚 And "YES"... there truly are no BAD Beatle songs (but I still love these types of discussions) cause they had a few minor missteps in their incredibly magical career... so a "worst of list" is possible. But even their 12 worst songs ever {all featured on a single album} would be more listenable and enjoyable, than lots of other "actual" lps, from even the 60s. But especially when compared to today's music?
Honestly, I can’t listen to Yesterday without listening to Dizzy Miss Lizzy right after. Of course Yesterday is what it should’ve ended on, but it wouldn’t have been the absolutely bonkers, in your face, Beatles thing to do.
Did you know Beethoven utilized foreshadowing in the 9th symphony? At the opening of the final movement he re-caps the themes from each movement, he plays the theme of the movement you haven't heard yet!
If really, I don't think that Dizzy Miss Lizzy is the one of the worst songs. I explain that its a end of the "Help!" like this. Maybe in every Disney cartoon in end hero (or protagonist) just not really die but in scene it looks like he's "dead", and this is "Yesterday". Sad song. And later we see that the main protagonist is alive, plays "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" Or explain normal, its chaotic and I like this. Underrated rocky theme of the "Help!" Album. (Sorry for bad English, I am from Russia)
Revolution 9 to Good Night is actually two of the best tracks off of White Album because it's such a funny and thus perfect ending. Like "Oh, here's 8 minutes of unnerving sound samples. Oh, you're still here? Here, a super cheesy faux-Disney lullaby sung by our drummer." Genius.
If you don't like Revolution 9 and Goodnight you don't understand the white album, for me, is one of the best álbum endings of their entire discography
Honey Don’t is honestly one of the most underrated beatles songs by far. It slaps, Ringos vocals are on point, and the guitar is absolutely KILLER. It’s probably the most unfairly hated beatles song ever, and one of the most underrated with Its All Too Much.
Revolution 9 is so far ahead of its time that it is a miracle that it's on a prominent pop album at all. The dread terror it has is in such stark contrast to the warm, soaring strings and calm voice of Ringo in Goodnight that it's baffling. And one of the reasons the self titled is my favorite Beatles album
Couple things: 1. No list of best/worst Beatles songs should include covers. 2. Yes It Is is a great song. Saying it’s “boring” says nothing about the song other than that you’re bored by it.
Yes, that's why it's so good. They're the damn Beatles, they aren't gonna end their entire career with some predictible corny "peace and love" orchestral swell. Such an iconic band gonna end with a bang you know
imo the WORST Beatles songs for me are: 7. What's The New Mary Jane? 6. Helter Skelter 5. Tomorrow Never Knows 4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 3. I Want You (She's So Heavy) 2. Revolution 9 1. Strawberry Fields Forever
@@MrMiniPea Piggies is the third WORST song by George (after While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Blue Jay Way) but it's not BAD enough to be in the BOTTOM seven
I'm glad I was just watching some recently released album reviews (to choose one to listen to on my 'new music fridays' dinner) and came across this video (and your channel). so far I've watched this one and the pink floyd albums ranking, both of them are really nice and entertaining/funny. you just got yourself a new subscriber.
Good Night is actually one of my favourite Beatles songs. I don’t really mind that the lyrics are corny it’s just so beautiful to me and so refreshing to hear after Revolution 9. Still, respect your opinion.
I gotta say I think Beatles for Sale has some of my least favorite Beatles songs on it. The only ones that get a pass for me on that album are eight days a week, words of love, and every little thing. The rest just don't have *it* .

@@Kelvinack it’s my fav lol cry about it
It's in my top 5 Beatles songs, usually holding spot number 1
The problem with revolution 9 is that it isn’t a song, it’s a compilation of sounds.
"Problem"?
@Cris Zapot Nobody is singing
I find it a very interesting song to listen to
The real problem with Revolution 9 is that it was recorded.
So, tecnically, the beatles never Made a real Bad song
I personally love yes it is, the harmonies are amazing and the song is sad

Totally disagree with revolution 9, that song is an avant-garde masterpiece that unfortunately not many Beatles fans recognise
I love all the Nintendo music you use. Probably the best way of avoiding copyright ever.
Indeed it is.
Great video! Worst Beatles songs are always bound to ruffle _someone's_ feathers, but I think you did a really good job with explaining your positions (and overall stellar editing and humor). I will defend Goodnight and Revolution 9, though, in saying that Revolution 9 works in its context in the white album, and Goodnight works in its context after Revolution 9.
See, the white album is characterized by its chaos. No two songs are alike. I think of Back in the USSR (an amped-up '50s Classic Rock song about a Russian spy) transitioning into Dear Prudence (an introspective, sensitive acoustic tune), The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill (an annoyingly goofy satire) playing before While My Guitar Gently Weeps (a melody oozing with soul and passion), Helter Skelter (a painfully heavy metal song with screaming and intense percussion) transitioning into Long Long Long (a haunting, somber ballad about reconciliation with God), and Honey Pie (a cheery Vaudeville-inspired one-off) coming right before Savoy Truffle (a suave 60s jam with full-sounding saxophones and twangy guitars) as the most obvious back-to-back demonstrations of the album's extreme contrast. I also think that Wild Honey Pie works for this reason-- it's a silly interlude reminding the listener not to get too comfortable or take the album too seriously, but that's besides the point.
It's an idiosyncratic, absurd, and random compilation of each Beatle's individual creative direction, interests, and most importantly, sound, from his own isolated corner; not working together, but against each other. Each song is its own self-contained story; a pitch, trying to sell you on John, Paul, George, or Ringo's unique vision that they want to convey. It's counter-intuitive, but that eclectic pattern actually gives the album continuity and a sense of flow. The album is the embodiment of the phrase "method to the madness." It also showcases the brilliance of the blank and now iconic cover: no expectations (no payoff), no way to constrain it conceptually, no way to pin it down. The lack of a theme _is_ the theme; the lack of cohesion _is_ what makes it cohesive. It's simply undefinable, and that's makes it such a great LP.
With all this in mind, take everything I said about the album (chaotic, contrasting, idiosyncratic, random, working against itself) and pack into an eight minute and fifteen second cacophony, and what you get is Revolution 9. In other words, Revolution 9 is the culmination of everything the white album stands for. Goodnight is the falling action (Can You Take Me Back Where I Came From is also an ominous introduction from the tail-end of Cry Baby Cry). It's a soft, lush melody to wash down the track that preceded it as a heartfelt send-off. Those final two tracks condense and represent everything about the white album, and personally, it works to great effect in the same vein as all the other pairs.
I know that Hold me tight is considered bad in the beatles community but I kind of like it ! It has a nice energy to it
I agree. I have a weird liking for that one
Honey Don't and Good Night are genuinely some of my favorite Beatles songs
I’m sick of this completely unwarranted Beatle’s for Sale hate! That album slaps! And people can never give specific songs and why they’re bad either.
No reply and 8 days a week are really good, some other songs aswell. Imo better than hard days night and with the beatles
@@jacobhayes421 true but what about I’m a loser, baby’s in black, I’ll follow the sun, every little thing she does, words of love, I don’t wanna spoil the party, and what you’re doing? Also I agree. I think With the Beatles is their worst album.
I agree, Beatles for sale does slap and has some of the Beatles most recognizable hits like eight days a week or no reply like Jacob Hayes said but it isn’t the best album of there’s but it definitely doesn’t need so much hate
@@gapenewell609 I'll Follow The Sun Is Beautiful, Even if the song Is short, Its Perfect! (Although it's pretty sad that is underrated)
@@gapenewell609 I agree that Beatles for sale gets too much hate.... EXCEPT FOR ONE SONG
EvErYbOdY's TrYiNg To Be My BaBe
that song is an underrated abysmal gem
"Sour milk sea" is definitely the one song that should have been included in the White Album. In fact I wonder why Georg Harrison did not put in on his "All things must pass" album. With a length of 3 LPs there should have been enough space for it.
It’s because he gave it to an Apple signed artist named Jackie Lomax to have as his first single, Needless to say that wasn’t a good idea 💀
A lot of rejected/ unreleased songs by them were given to other artists actually
Dizzy miss Lizzy???? Bro the best song ever what u talking about
Thank you for putting my comment in the video. And I agree with you. I like dig it and Maggie May but there just short little ditties and not full fledged songs.
Revolution 9 is one of the absolute highlights of The White Album. Also - there's a great early version where it was just part of Revolution (hence the break into 1 & 9 eventually). I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's also hidden away on side 4, so if you don't like it then don't stick on side 4. Also in terms of "it's style", it's actually quite carefully boiled down, not as elongated and all encompassing, you can see that they've kinda "popped" up that kind of sound.
The tracks that are "nothing" are the ones that are actually bad, stuff like Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9 and Good Night all achieve exactly what they intend to.
Waterloo, playing the entirety of Yellow Submarine (w/ the exception of Hey Bulldog) isn’t a list.
Its all to much is in my top 5 of favorite Beatles songs
Its the most overlooked song by them too apparently :(
@@brigantics7686 sadly, yes, it is. Its All Too Much is such an amazing song and is way WAY too overlooked
*Abbey Road
It’s All Too Much is a fantastic song.
Hey I just discovered your channel, you're super underrated, Waterloo!! I love this video. Keep up the good work.
actually cant fathom how anyone could suggest lovely rita that song is perfection
I love “yes it is” and “goodnight”. “yes it is” gives me a vibe that I can't explain, I just love it, and “goodnight” relaxes me, Ringo's voice sounds so angelic there, and at the end where he whispers- it's so cute 💔
Where is
EvErBoDy's tRyNInG tO BE mY bAbE from Beatles for sale?
In 2020 on a road trip before the pandemic, me and my Brother called Wild honey pie "The destruction Song" We would replay it the whole time, over and over, and laughed everytime. Now when i listen to it alone, it feels so sad as he just says "Yes, I remember it, go away."
My least favorite has to be “Within and Without You.” I hate the Sitar, and in my opinion this is the only song that keeps Sgt. Peppers from being a perfect album, and I hate it for that.
It’s a bit boring, so I get that. I considered putting it on the list
It’s either you love it, or you absolutely hate it. I love it, but I know many that don’t
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon I disagree so hard with Dizzy Miss Lizzy and Little Child. Badass little rockers. I also don't think Dizzy Miss Lizzy is a bad closer for Help! Of course Yesterday fits great but i also love that they decided to put straight behind it some fast, hard, rocky stuff. In my opinion they ALWAYS knew what they did, except for Abbey Road. The End would be such a great closer but instead of leaving things be the way they are they have to change something. Her Majesty would've fit way better on Let It Be.
YAY another waterloo video! :D
been following your channel for over a year now, keeo up the great work mate
I absolutely love goodnight. To me it’s such a soothing song and has really calmed me down when I’ve been extremely stressed out. Revolution 9 however…
That's funny cause when I'm stressed out I hop in my car and take off down the interstate with Revolution 9 blaring full blast. It helps.
I don't think Wild Honey Pie can be considered bad because the intention obviously was not to make a great song, but to have fun. The intention is always something very important to understand before saying a song is good or bad.
How did Mister Moonlight not make the list?
Fun fact:
I can play Revolution 9 on piano! You can do it too! Just smash your fingers all over the keys, say "number 9" repeatedly, and mix in some laughing and Yoko screams. Easy peasy! And it's sounds lovely and proffesional.
Do you have a twitter? I wanna make you fanart
I do not, but I could make one. If people started making fan art, I would definitely showcase it at the end of videos. :)

@@TheWaterlooWatermelon ofc that’s alright! :D it’d be an honor
I love "Dizzy Miss Lizzy". One of my favourite covers of theirs.
As a hardcore Beatles' fan
(and an expert in all things rock and pop) from the early 50s, throughout the golden era, until the early 2,000s... I must say
🟥🟩🟨🟧☮️🟧🟨🟩🟥
Your analysis and ranking
are both spot-on! 🍏👽💚
And "YES"... there truly are no BAD Beatle songs (but I still love these types of discussions) cause they had a few minor missteps in their incredibly magical career... so a "worst of list" is possible. But even their 12 worst songs ever {all featured on a single album} would be more listenable and enjoyable, than lots of other "actual" lps, from even the 60s. But especially when compared to today's music?
Ah, self confessed expert on a subjective matter.
what
JUSTICE FOR SOUR MILK SEA!!!!!!!
The Beatles
Honestly, I can’t listen to Yesterday without listening to Dizzy Miss Lizzy right after. Of course Yesterday is what it should’ve ended on, but it wouldn’t have been the absolutely bonkers, in your face, Beatles thing to do.
are you ever going to rank every queen album from worst to best?
Yes
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon Awesome! That'll be a good one
the intro killed meee xD cool vid thx waterloo (i am also from iowa c:)
I swear, Waterloo is funniest guy on TH-cam
I'm glad to see "What's The New Mary Jane" & "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" didn't make this list of worst Beatles songs 😂😂
"You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" has easy to remember lyrics, and a lot of variation in the instrumental, just a great song overall, I love it!
I'm excited!!
Did you know Beethoven utilized foreshadowing in the 9th symphony? At the opening of the final movement he re-caps the themes from each movement, he plays the theme of the movement you haven't heard yet!
ONLY 1K SUBS? BRUH YOUR CONTENT IS LIKE IT COMES FROM A 100K+ TH-camR YOURE GONNA GROW REALLY FUCKING FAST
Fixing a Hole is one of my favorite Beatles songs!
If really, I don't think that Dizzy Miss Lizzy is the one of the worst songs.
I explain that its a end of the "Help!" like this. Maybe in every Disney cartoon in end hero (or protagonist) just not really die but in scene it looks like he's "dead", and this is "Yesterday". Sad song. And later we see that the main protagonist is alive, plays "Dizzy Miss Lizzy"
Or explain normal, its chaotic and I like this.
Underrated rocky theme of the "Help!" Album.
(Sorry for bad English, I am from Russia)
That’s some nice English
I’m surprised that so many people dislike “Only a northern song”. I actually like it from the slightly psychedelic perspective and a catchy tune.
Still amazing songs that I listen to almost everyday 🤷♂️
It's the Beatles after all
I actually like dizzy miss lizzy, it feels like it's the credits music of the album
If Goodnight is a bad song, Then what should replace it?
Greatnight
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon actually, opposite is badnight
@@inactiveytchannel actually, Badday
Revolution 9 to Good Night is actually two of the best tracks off of White Album because it's such a funny and thus perfect ending. Like "Oh, here's 8 minutes of unnerving sound samples. Oh, you're still here? Here, a super cheesy faux-Disney lullaby sung by our drummer." Genius.
If you don't like Revolution 9 and Goodnight you don't understand the white album, for me, is one of the best álbum endings of their entire discography
You're absolutely right!
Honey Don’t is honestly one of the most underrated beatles songs by far.
It slaps, Ringos vocals are on point, and the guitar is absolutely KILLER.
It’s probably the most unfairly hated beatles song ever, and one of the most underrated with Its All Too Much.
oh no... anxiously hoping one of my faves isnt on here
Goodnight is a great ending to white album
Revolution 9 is so far ahead of its time that it is a miracle that it's on a prominent pop album at all. The dread terror it has is in such stark contrast to the warm, soaring strings and calm voice of Ringo in Goodnight that it's baffling. And one of the reasons the self titled is my favorite Beatles album
Number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9
Couple things:
1. No list of best/worst Beatles songs should include covers.
2. Yes It Is is a great song. Saying it’s “boring” says nothing about the song other than that you’re bored by it.
In my opinion her majesty is bad because it fucks with the end being well, the end of abbey road
her majesty is better than wild honey pie
@@neutralamity did you not read my comment, her majesty is an ok song but I dislike it for it's placement
Yes, that's why it's so good. They're the damn Beatles, they aren't gonna end their entire career with some predictible corny "peace and love" orchestral swell. Such an iconic band gonna end with a bang you know
anyone who says revolution 9 is bad doesn't appreciate avant-garde
I want to be your friendo:(
“Yes it is” is honestly a great song, I love it. And good night too, it’s wonderful

I'm glad I was just watching some recently released album reviews (to choose one to listen to on my 'new music fridays' dinner) and came across this video (and your channel). so far I've watched this one and the pink floyd albums ranking, both of them are really nice and entertaining/funny. you just got yourself a new subscriber.
Paul is dead man. miss him, miss him…
Glad I finally found someone else who appreciates lovely Rita
Good Night is actually one of my favourite Beatles songs. I don’t really mind that the lyrics are corny it’s just so beautiful to me and so refreshing to hear after Revolution 9. Still, respect your opinion.
Three songs for the Beatles disposal are;"til there was you"
"A taste of honey"
"Yes it is"
I gotta say I think Beatles for Sale has some of my least favorite Beatles songs on it. The only ones that get a pass for me on that album are eight days a week, words of love, and every little thing. The rest just don't have *it* .
Yes I Is…is a masterpiece.
How dare they try to do that to Lovely Rita. Blasphemous.
I'm glad that I'm not the only person that finds wild honey pie funny
