Apologies if this thread has been made before, but a recent thread on least-favorite Beatles songs had me thinking:

What would you say is the most underrated Beatles song ever made?

For me it would have to be Revolution 1 from The White Album. Though slower and more gentle than the better-known single version, I actually found myself enjoying this version a lot more. On a side-note, according to Beatles historians (like Mark Lewisohn in his book The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions), Revolution 1 was the very first song recorded for The White Album.

Therefore, Revolution 1 was the original version of the song.

"In My Life" (from the album Rubber Soul, my favorite Beatles album)

"In My Life" (from the album Rubber Soul, my favorite Beatles album)

That was the song my brother and my sister-in-law danced to at their wedding reception and my mom's favorite Beatles song.

I think My Guitar Gently Weeps is pretty underrated. I hardly ever hear it on the radio.

In My Life was my wedding song.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is not underrated.
It is pretty widely recognized as a classic, and one of Harrison's best.
Growing up (late 70s, early 80s) i heard this on classic rock stations all the time.

I'll Be Back from A Hard Day's Night is underrated.
Sexy Sadie from The White Album.
This Boy (Past Masters)
You're Gonna Lose That Girl from Help!

I always liked "I'll Follow the Sun", short and simple

"I'll Be Back" always seems to get lost in the shuffle. I love that song.

You wouldn't know it, but that song was really a reworking of Del Shannon's Runaway.

Lennon (circa 1980): "I'll Be Back is me completely. My variation of the chords in a Del Shannon song."

I didn't know that, thanks for sharing. :cool:

I've always loved "Yes It Is" John sings it with so much feeling! I never hear it anymore.

Great song! But then again I'm prejudiced!:lol:

Not a huge Beatles fan, but my friend is a die hard Beatles fan and his favorite underrated tune is "Rain". Mine would have to be "With a Little Help From my Friends".

my favorite is Eleanor rigby that song give me the creeps I like it

Great example of Baroque Rock, with McCartney playing a clavichord and Alan Civil on French horn.

For an underrated George Song...

It's a dramatic song, sounds more dramatic with the orchestrations.

Now for Ringo...

...****...he only had 2 songs!

Ringo only WROTE two Beatles songs ("Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden"). Of course, he sang lead on many songs, incl. "What Goes On," for which he got a byline shared with Lennon & McCartney. When asked how much he wrote, Ringo modestly replied, "About five words." :lol:
