(2,178 posts)What would be your favorite relatively obscure Beatles song? The Beatles are such a great band that even their less well known songs, and songs that are usually not included in lists of their best songs, are great songs. There are not many groups that are THAT good. Among potential nominees for this honor would be songs that are NOT among the ones that posters have mentioned in this thread. I have two nominees for Beatles songs that fit in this category: Piggies from the White Album and Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite from the Sgt. Pepper's album. Mr. Kite's lyrics are truly brilliant, the imagery is fantastic, and the tune is wonderful too. It is as good a song as any on that classic album, in my humble opinion.
Another interesting sub-category is one that I think might have been posted on this forum in the past two or three years: Beatles songs that everybody else loves, but you HATE. I have one nominee for that dubious distinction: Hey Jude. That song is SO monotonous, the na-na-na's go on and on and on for WAY too long, and even that part of the song that comes before the monotony begins doesn't particularly resonate with me. I listen often to the Beatles Channel on Sirius satellite radio, but when Hey Jude comes on, I immediately change the channel.
