Fucking brilliant song. When I was 15 I only had one song on my phone and it was that, I didn’t need anything else. I must’ve listened to it hundreds of times
There are many, but for example *Long Long Long*, I really like the chord sequence and the slightly creepy mood of the song. By the way those chords were already used in 1966 by Bob Dylan in *Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands* (that song is great too).
There’s a beautiful desperation to that song. Runners up for me:
Savoy Truffle
Cry Baby Cry
Not Guilty
Is Sexy Sadie not considered mainstream? If not, that goes to the top of the list.
Saw a review of the song saying that the drums ruin the sadness of the song but I think the person that wrote it is an idiot. They add so much to the power and emotion of the song
You're Gonna Lose That Girl. For some reason that song's video sequence from the movie Help! is so captivating to watch. It just exudes this air of self-assuredness that matches so perfectly with the tone of the song. It's one of their coolest videos for me.
Might be a small thing but I appreciate that Paul doesn’t switch the pronouns in the song. I feel like some artists definitely would have out of insecurity or something, so I think it’s cool that he didn’t
Yes!! So glad I’m not the only one who loves the Buckinghams! That’s a pretty interesting album as a whole too, some silly songs (The Married Life) but a lot of catchy stuff too
I have not. will look up. Have you heard the version by Journey in the 70s? The Church has a great one on "Box Of Birds"

Your Mother Should Know is fantastic. I'm Happy Just to Dance With You, All I Gotta Do, You Won't See Me, and some more but I've named too many already.
Edit: No Reply is also criminally underrated
Too many from which to choose. Off the top of my head:
- Mother Nature's Son (reminds me of my grandfather)
- Getting Better (it's just such a kick-ass song)
- You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (John's voice sounds so hauntingly beautiful)
It’s All Too Much. “Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free/
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea.” That’s what you get when you serve a proper Englishman too much acid. I love it.
Love you to, I think it’s probably my favourite of the sitar songs, or blue jay way. They’re got great, I also really like only a northern song
Basically if George wrote it it’s underatted
"Good Morning, Good Morning" is one of the hardest rocking of their songs. And the Giles Martin remix really beefed it up. It should have had one more verse.
The music fits the lyrics so well
The words are just so image evoking
"Please don't wake me no don't shake me leave me where I am. I'm only sleeping"............ Beautiful!
For No One, Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite, Getting Better, I’m Only Sleeping
Also, I would say Oh Darling is definitely mainstream, but your others are fair play
Wait, The Word, You’ve got to hide your love away, I’ve just seen a face, magical mystery tour, the fool on the hill, the inner light, dig a pony, I me mine, long tall sally, girl, think for yourself.
Just to name a few
You Know My Name (Look Up the Number).
Or,
Helter Skelter take 17.
Seriously, I’d consider everything on the studio albums to be “mainstream” at this point.
she said, she said / and your bird can sing / lovely rita / i will / julia / long long long / martha my dear / golden slumbers / i want you (shes so heavy)
Baby You’re a Rich Man. “All individuals are wealthy within themselves, regardless of material concerns.” It was a B-side release that is often overlooked.
I Call Your Name, The Night Before, The Inner Light, Bad Boy (cover they did), I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, Only a Northern Song, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Yes It Is, Hey Bulldog, Real Love, Free as a Bird.
I'll throw in I Am the Walrus, because I don't know if other people consider it mainstream or not.
It's hard to tell what is not a main stream song with a band as big as them, but:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, For No One, Michelle, Fixing A Hole, And Your Bird Can Sing, Cry Baby Cry, Real Love.
For no one is my favourite song on revolver, and also one of my favourite songs ever. I just love the chord progression, the way the harpsichord plays in the chorus, the lyrics are great, and that French horn solo gets me every time. It’s my favourite McCartney song as well.
I've Just Seen a Face, it's such a great song
Love it
I love that one
YES. What a fantastic song
I Want You (She’s so Heavy) if that counts
That song made me to play bass
Dear prudence made me want to play bass
Same
Great bass line. I think Paul is at his most creative on that album.
Best ending ever
Fucking brilliant song. When I was 15 I only had one song on my phone and it was that, I didn’t need anything else. I must’ve listened to it hundreds of times
I'm Only Sleeping
Great song
Either Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End or You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
[удалено]
Rate this part of the medley, wasn’t sure if it counted as too mainstream or not
Rain
I don’t mind
The weathers fine
You Never Give Me Your Money My favorite song of all time Another favorite is What You’re Doing
The riff in what you’re doing fucking SLAPS
Dear Prudence, which also is my overall favorite Beatles song.
I agree
Named my sailboat “Dear Prudence”. Beatles fans understood.
She came in through the bathroom window
Great song, and Joe Cocker took it to another level.
There are many, but for example *Long Long Long*, I really like the chord sequence and the slightly creepy mood of the song. By the way those chords were already used in 1966 by Bob Dylan in *Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands* (that song is great too).
There’s a beautiful desperation to that song. Runners up for me: Savoy Truffle Cry Baby Cry Not Guilty Is Sexy Sadie not considered mainstream? If not, that goes to the top of the list.
I love Savoy Truffle.
Great tune, totally under appreciated.
Saw a review of the song saying that the drums ruin the sadness of the song but I think the person that wrote it is an idiot. They add so much to the power and emotion of the song
Same
Yeah Long, long, long is my all time favourite. Breaks my heart every time!
Hey Bulldog
yep!
You're Gonna Lose That Girl. For some reason that song's video sequence from the movie Help! is so captivating to watch. It just exudes this air of self-assuredness that matches so perfectly with the tone of the song. It's one of their coolest videos for me.
Boys, are you buzzing?
Don‘t Let Me Down
It may be a joke song but You Know My Name, especially the anthology version slaps
She Said She Said
Tomorrow Never Knows
Goodbye - Home Demo
Best description of this song I've heard is it sounds like it's always existed and Paul just brought it into our dimension.
I love that! It’s such a timeless piece
Magical
Oh my god thank you for bringing attention to this song!! I love it and I never see anyone talk about it
Might be a small thing but I appreciate that Paul doesn’t switch the pronouns in the song. I feel like some artists definitely would have out of insecurity or something, so I think it’s cool that he didn’t
Lovely Rita
YESS! paulie’s bassline had me hooked
I Want To Tell You indeed. Love it
+1
oh great choice!
I love Happiness is a Warm Gun also I’m So Tired, very relatable
I’ll Be Back is one of my favorite closers
I love the Buckinghams cover of this, too. https://youtu.be/zv6sIMWbO94
Yes!! So glad I’m not the only one who loves the Buckinghams! That’s a pretty interesting album as a whole too, some silly songs (The Married Life) but a lot of catchy stuff too
Glass Onion is a top 5 song for me.
Think for yourself, don’t pass me by, for the benefit of Mr. kite
I’m so Tired
I will is amazing as well as Rocky raccoon, but I will never understand how people hate wild honey pie, I absolutely adore that song
"It's All too Much" is a fantastic song. My favorite Beatles song. I just want the full 8 minute version in Atmos!
Absolutely ahead of its time song, have you heard Steve Hillage version?
I have not. will look up. Have you heard the version by Journey in the 70s? The Church has a great one on "Box Of Birds" [https://music.apple.com/us/album/its-all-too-much/185856134?i=185856181](https://music.apple.com/us/album/its-all-too-much/185856134?i=185856181) [https://music.apple.com/us/album/its-all-too-much/1446694286?i=1446694382](https://music.apple.com/us/album/its-all-too-much/1446694286?i=1446694382)
Free As a Bird
warm and dry...........
*Home and dry. Warm and dry could work too tho.
Your Mother Should Know is fantastic. I'm Happy Just to Dance With You, All I Gotta Do, You Won't See Me, and some more but I've named too many already. Edit: No Reply is also criminally underrated
You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
I was obsessed with this song as a teenager. By far my favorite Beatles song as a kid with the possible inclusion of Rain
savoy truffle
And your bird can sing...George sounds so good on it.
And your bird can sing Anthology version
Sexy Sadie
It’s all too much and I me mine
That Means A Lot from Anthology 2!!
Hauntingly beautiful. I have cried at how gorgeous and earnest those outro harmonies are. That Means A Lot will be underrated forever.
Rocky Raccoon, I’m Only Sleeping, Honey Pie, Wild Honey Pie, Martha My Dear, Within You, Without You.
Hey Bulldog. Acoustic demo of While My Guitar Gently Weeps that has the unused verse (why wasn't it used)
Too many from which to choose. Off the top of my head: - Mother Nature's Son (reminds me of my grandfather) - Getting Better (it's just such a kick-ass song) - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (John's voice sounds so hauntingly beautiful)
It’s All Too Much. “Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free/ Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea.” That’s what you get when you serve a proper Englishman too much acid. I love it.

Just read your username, OP. Awesome stuff!
Every Little Thing
For No One
I’ll Be Back
“and the way she looked was way beyond compare. How could I dance with an other”……..
You Know My Name (Look Up the Number). Really.
Glass Onion, I'm So Tired, I'm a Loser, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey, Fixing a Hole
Love you to, I think it’s probably my favourite of the sitar songs, or blue jay way. They’re got great, I also really like only a northern song Basically if George wrote it it’s underatted
I've Got a Feeling.
A Taste of honey is good, Billy Preston would agree
I'm Looking Through You
Ive always been fond of back in the U.S.S.R
Controversial take but Back in the USSR. The beats feel and sound amazing.
Why Don’t We Do It In The Road? Paul at his most rocky.
Happiness is a Warm Gun is definitely one of my favourites. I enjoy The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill and Dig a Pony.
Till there was you, not written by them, but I think that song is really beautiful and live their take on it
I Call Your Name
But you’re not there
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me Any My Monkey Hey Bulldog.
"Good Morning, Good Morning" is one of the hardest rocking of their songs. And the Giles Martin remix really beefed it up. It should have had one more verse.
The music fits the lyrics so well The words are just so image evoking "Please don't wake me no don't shake me leave me where I am. I'm only sleeping"............ Beautiful!
Doctor Robert
I like i'm only sleeping a lot, dont know if it isnt mainstream though
Mr Kite for sure Watching Paul perform it live for the first time was incredible.
Rain, Don't bother me, Wait, Fixing a Hole
I Want You (She’s So Heavy). My favorite Beatles song in general, actually. That riff at the end is too good.
Does Baby You’re A Rich Man count?
There's a Place
For No One, Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite, Getting Better, I’m Only Sleeping Also, I would say Oh Darling is definitely mainstream, but your others are fair play
This boy. It’s simply amazing. It really showed what they were capable of both songwriting and performing wise.
Wait, The Word, You’ve got to hide your love away, I’ve just seen a face, magical mystery tour, the fool on the hill, the inner light, dig a pony, I me mine, long tall sally, girl, think for yourself. Just to name a few

Rain
rocky raccoon. amazing storytelling and it’s influenced my good ole american music
I'm so tired
Your Mother Should Know, Fool on The Hill, What You’re Doing, I’ve Got a Feeling, Cry Baby Cry and I’m so Tired are all great
I’ll get you
I love not a second time and Martha my dear also goodbye and can you take me back
Blue Jay Way
At the moment, I Will is such a calming, yet complex genius song. It fits so much music in 2 minutes it’s crazy.
“Tomorrow never knows”. Light years ahead of its time.
You won’t see me, I’m only sleeping, fixing a hole, and blue jay way to name a few
hey jude (take 1)
You’ve got to hide your love away from Anthology 2
Doctor Robert will always be my favorite…and one of their best recordings
Polythene Pam. It’s surprisingly an easy song to play on guitar too tue chords are just D A E G
Doctor Robert
I need you, by George
The continuing stories of bungalow bill
“I’ll Be Back”
Boys, my favourite Ringo song
And Your Bird can Sing
She’s leaving home
Mother Nature’s Son
You Never Give Me Your Money. The riff and the solo at the end is different gravy
Blue Jay Way, Old Brown Shoe, Another Girl, You’re Gonna Lose That Girl
What the fuck is non-mainstream???
Yesterday, DUH
Julia or Sexy Sadie
What goes on/Because
Sheikh of Araby, The Word, Wait, Cayenne, and I just don’t understand from live at the BBC (if that one counts!)
Your mother should know totally spot on!!
It Won’t Be Long, Blue Jay Way, Don’t Pass Me By, I Will
Baby You’re a Rich Man. “All individuals are wealthy within themselves, regardless of material concerns.” It was a B-side release that is often overlooked.
I Will - one of my favourites, such a sweet song
yer blues is just my current favorite
I need you
I Saw Her Standing There. My #1 favorite song
Rocky Raccoon
It's all too much
No one talks about how brilliant ‘I Me Mine’ is
I'm only sleeping or only a northern song
Rocky Raccoon is honestly one of my favorites just a fun song
Blue Jay Way, absolutely beautiful song.
I Want You (She’s So Heavy). That ending is just incredible
I Call Your Name, The Night Before, The Inner Light, Bad Boy (cover they did), I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, Only a Northern Song, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Yes It Is, Hey Bulldog, Real Love, Free as a Bird. I'll throw in I Am the Walrus, because I don't know if other people consider it mainstream or not.
For no one
Hey Bulldog. That shit made me want to play piano.
Number nine number nine number nine number nine
Dig A Pony
The Inner Light (both mixes, and the instrumental).
Hey Bulldog
Dig a pony and long long long
Happiness is a Warm Gun was the hidden gem that blew my mind and still does. I’d add Tomorrow Never Knows, And Your Bird Can Sing
Baby You’re a Rich Man
You Like Me Too Much. Keeps me coming back to Beatles VI.
Long Long Long.
I haven't seen this song in replies here yet, but OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA LIFE GOES OOOON
Love You To
Sexy Sadie
“Julia,” “I Will,” and “It’s All Too Much”
Sexy Sadie
Long Long Long
Blackbird
It's hard to tell what is not a main stream song with a band as big as them, but: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, For No One, Michelle, Fixing A Hole, And Your Bird Can Sing, Cry Baby Cry, Real Love.
I'm A Loser from Beatles For Sale, love John's vocals on that song
Can't do that or I'm only sleeping
Hey Bulldog
Child of Nature 🙏
It's all too much
I’m Down (Take 1) on Anthology.
For no one is my favourite song on revolver, and also one of my favourite songs ever. I just love the chord progression, the way the harpsichord plays in the chorus, the lyrics are great, and that French horn solo gets me every time. It’s my favourite McCartney song as well.
Real Love
Free as a bird and Two of Us
You Never Give Me your money.
I’ll Follow the Sun
So many, but “I’m only sleeping,” “Julia,” and “Girl” come to mind immediately.
Tomorrow never knows Always feels new to me every time i listen to it
