NFT: Most overlooked/underrated Beatle song NOT named Hey Bulldog

But I'll join in the endorsement of I've Got a Feeling, from Let it Be.

My favorite Beatles song.

John thought he should have been the one to sing it, I’m glad Paul stuck to his guns and sang the vocals.

My second pick after She Said.

Again, Beatles were a serious chameleon and on She's So Heavy, showed a side we sadly would never get to see a full exploration of. MONSTROUS song, full of emotional swings and possibly my favorite ending of any Beatle song.

If they could've held it together, the sky would've been the limit in the 70's.

As early as 68', 'Imagine', 'Jealous Guy', 'All Things Must Pass' were being tinkered with. They easily had another 3 great albums in em'.

A crying shame, but they had grown too far apart artistically, and were fighting over money to boot.

bang bang

J. Lennon: "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".

..it's a cover. Also, it wasn't a lark or filler. The Beatles played that song for years live both in Germany and England. In fact, they did two separate recording sessions of the song over several months. It was a serious song to the band. I always felt Paul's awful Hammond organ ruined the song. Lennon's vocals were awesome. I hate that song though.

That and Revolution 9 have always been up there as the two least popular Beatle songs ever

John was asked in the 70s or possibly 1980 what the Beatles would have sounded like if they were still together and his reply was ELO

Lol
His comment on that from his famous 1980 Playboy interview was "It was more my style then his. If he had any sense I would've sung it"

as covered by Judy Collins.

Better than the original, IMO
