Helter Skelter I can see why I haven't heard on the radio. It was the song that inspired the Manson Family murders in 1969.

[Penny Lane]

I have heard most of those that you mentioned. Our local radio station plays 2 hours of nothing but Beatles on Sunday mornings. (Breakfast with the Beatles) So they play just about everything they ever recorded! Very very cool!

[Ian]

Yeah we get breakfast with the beatles, out here in L.A., every sunday as well. They play every song imaginable as well as the solo stuff! It's on from 9am-noon, I believe.

A Day in the Life
Baby's in Black (I heard it today, actually)

You have been around longer than I have; I'm 17.
There was a now-defunct oldies station in my area that had "Breakfast with the Beatles." I didn't have time to listen to it because I had to go to church.

Yes, I've been around awhile!

[dlemond]

Besides the cover songs and early Beatle demos they have played all those songs on the radio in NY through my lifetime, and not including any Beatles specials, like Breakfast with the Beatles.

And I can't believe you haven't heard at least 10 of these songs on the radio.

Seargent Peppers?
Something?
Strawberry Fields?
Ticket to Ride?

With a Little Help From My Friends - honestly, you never heard that on the radio by the Beatles?

How long have you listened, a week?
By the time I was 17 I heard 1/2 of these songs below.

I'll remove that one from the list. Thanks for pointing it out. I have also found other songs that I forgot to remove. Some of them I have heard several times but didn't catch the title until you posted.

I don't listen to the radio very much. Even the oldies stations in my town only play the really popular ones. I'm downloading a whole bunch of these songs from Kazaa as I speak. There is one station that has played some songs that you don't hear on the radio often (at least where I live) but it's in the morning and they have 3 songs. I Am the Walrus played this morning.

[APPLEI]

there is only one beatles song that was a hit that
i never heard on the radio is "the ballad of john & yoko"

When I was growing up, back in the 18th century, I thought that "The Ballad of John and Yoko" was a Lennon solo song.
But it was a Beatles release, though not on a studio album.

Funny thing about that song, it was recorded by John and Paul alone. And they were at each others throats most of the time during those days.

I mean the song is about John and Yoko, and Paul was no fan of Yoko, yet he helped him do the song- just the two of them. I think it shows how deep rooted their friendship was.

You grew up in the 18th century too?! Join the club!
