Beatles lists are always controversial; they have so many great songs that it’s almost impossible to make a top 10 list. This is a list of “underrated” songs, ones that i believe deserve more credit. Some of these songs might be viewed as too popular by some people, but for instance, “With a Little Help From My Friends” is my favorite Beatles song, so in that sense it is – in my opinion – very underrated.

    Hello Elie,
    Hard, hard to make any list of beatles’s songs. But since you did your own, here’s my take for underrated beatles song:
    – I’m only sleeping
    – Love you to
    – Tomorrow never knows
    – Happiness is a warm gun
    – Long long long
    – You never give me your money (and the whole medley)
    – …

    btw, the acoustic While my guitar gently weeps is just amazing! (Although I think that this song is not really underrated)

    cheers,

    How are these not famous? Sgt Peppers is probably the most ‘famous’ album ever recorded and even Hip Hop fans must know the top 2.

    -In Spite of All The Danger
    -Yes It Is
    -I’m Down
    -I’ll Be Back
    -I Need You
    -The Inner Light
    -Dear Prudence
    -Mother Nature Son
    -Polythene Pam
    -Two of Us

    Agreed with above as well, Long Long Long is a f*ckin gem.

    Great list! I definitely agree with She’s Leaving Home, it’s one of my favorites and no one knows it! I also love I Want to Tell You off of Revolver, on of my favorite George songs. And Two of Us off Let It Be.

    ‘Hey Bulldog’ is surely the most neglected Beatle song. It should have been a single release or certainly on the White Album
    rather than consigned to a number of throwaway songs on the Yellow Submarine album. Recorded in February 1968 before they went to India, it’s pounding piano base and unique chord structure ranks it with ‘Come Together’ in terms of innovation and execution. Also features a striking lead solo by John who wrote the song. – Duncan.
