Glass Onion -- the single worst Beatles song?

Glass Onion is one of my favourite Beatles songs

 

Ticket to Ride.

 

wild honey pie all the way. its just honey pie over and over. like it was accidently put on the album.

 

most of these are ones I love, Glass Onion one of my faves too. So far there isnt one listed that I would say was "bad". A "Bad" beatles song is anyone elses best song ever.

Now, if Wings counts, we are getting closer to flat-out bad.

If Yoko is singing, it has gone beyond bad.

 

she sings on 'Bungalow Bill'...

 

Glass Onion is not one of my favorites either; I find I skip it quite a lot...

 

I agree with "Long & winding Road", but "Her Majesty" is one of my favorites.

 

you people can't all like "Piggies" though right?? i mean, its just sooo horrible i have to skip it whenever it gets to that part of the record.

 

I like the slow- guitar riff in the middle 8 of: 'Happy Birthday'.

I think it's George Harrison on a Gibson Firebird with huge sustain pedal?.Or is it a Gibson Flying V. I dunno?!!!.:&

 

.............Third time lucky;I meant a Gibson SG:

 

I dont really like Revolution 9 and All across the Universe, even though thats supposed to be great it just doesnt click with me...

 

i forgot about most of those..

you cant count "Act Naturally" as a bad Beatles song, seeing as how it wasnt written by them.
its not the band's fault that the original "The Long & Winding Road" is bad, Phil Spector was the one who did all the overproduction crap on that song.

i find The Beatles and Abbey Road to have more crappy songs on them than any other beatles records.

 

I disagree. I love Glass Onion. I love the Beatles!

 

Mr. Moonlight has to be the worst song apearing on a Beatles album. The only redeeming factor is they didn't write it.

 

the beatles apocrypha, in 400 years people will wonder if they're really responsible for them, they will stand as phoenix and the turtle......

 

glass onion the worst?? I dont think so. plus, you have to know why he wrote those lyrics and the song..... he wrote it because there were so many people at that time who claimed so many beatles songs were about drugs and whatnot, so he wrote this one to pretty much shove it in their face and tell them all that they are all full of shit.

even harrison claimed it was his favourite on the white album.

if we want to talk about bad beatles songs, why dont we start with yellow submarine??

 

Agreed.

Yellow Submarine is pretty bad.

 

see, now that's just plain ignorant. the beatles were human, just like any other band, and they put out plenty of mediocre music. a lot of their earlier stuff is just plain shit, and certainly no better than modern pop music.

 

I 100% agree.

 

Chuck, i think glass onion is along the lines of which he wrote "I am the walrus" which is "stop fucking alalizing my songs"...and i also agree with you that any song NOT written by them cant ba a bad beatles song, such as Matchbox...

also, Revolution 9 isnt a song, it is tape loops that Lennon and Yoko found and made, while strung out on heroin one morning...he put it on the white album, much to the distain of McCartney, because a few years earlier [while recording Rubber Soul] Paul started experimenting with tape loops, and that how they got the awesome sound on Tomorrow Never Knows...and the "Number 9" isnt lennon, its a BBC test thinger

lots of their songs [specially their early ones] arent that lyrically inspiriing because they are, as chuch and other people have said, they were a pop band...lots of them were written as hits, dirrty R&B songs, or just out of the need for a few more songs to fill an album...[see "One after 909", "I Wanna Be Your Man" etc]
