- My list of Beatles albums from what I believe is the worst album to the best. Sorry for the slight lack of memes in this one, it's hard to meme The Beatles. Probably doing Pink Floyd next, which I already have all planned out.

Paul McCartney wrote When I'm 64 at the age of 16.
I've read 16 and 14. Whichever, it shows what a talented dude he is, and was at a very young age.
worst song
@@cristianodgers4548 You should write songs that bad. What songs did you write when you were 14, anyway?
Real_Pancho I’m sorry but When I’m 64 sounds like a 16 year old wrote it, sure it’s a big talent to write songs at that age, but still...
@@dezmounts978 You write anything better than that? Let's hear it. Just because it's a style you don't dig or can't relate to doesn't make it a lousy song.
“ob-la-di ob-la-da is filler”
>>angry, heavy breathing because obladi oblada is my go-to good vibes song
It is interesting hearing different opinions, but he is objectively wrong many times on this video.
Mooood I love that song so much
The second the crazy piano intro starts I am INSTANTLY in a better mood! That song is great, one of the best on the album, really.
I hate that Godamn song. I actually really love ob la di ob la da, but I hate it because it's stick in my song and will forever be playing on repeat
FR.
i almost cried when he said don't let me down was an ok song
considering it wasn't on the let it be album and it was only on the let it be naked release he probably didnt say that

@@n0denz rock is probably the only genre you like, and you constantly hate on rap, or to you “mumble crap”
@@mirandagenevievehunt9398 Oh, I looked down on hip hop long before mumble rap became a thing. I look down on it musically, literarily, and culturally. There are only a small handful of individuals who elevate the genre as an artform. The rest rely on beats and very lazy writing. The fact that something makes you wanna get up and dance or move to the music doesn't make it art. It's the same as how something that tastes good and makes you happy doesn't make it good for you. Hip hop and to a greater extent, R&B is to music as McDonalds is to food.
@@n0denz “The fact that something makes you wanna dance does not make it art” j a z z, s o u l, r n b, gosh darn it even R O C K. I mean if you dont dance to some of the beatles song or other rocks bands youre not living right. Also “only a few individuals push the artform forward” can be said for literally any genre lol its not like every single artist/band needs to innovate something so culturally groundbreaking some people just want to chill and thats cool.
@@n0denz Also i want to know the artists you think are elevating the artform. Im guessing you’re first candidate is gonna be Eminem because im also guessing you’re more like 🤟🏻 and not ✊🏾 and this isn’t even about race but it’s the first thing I thought of when you said you look down on rap lol

SAME! That is my favorite song on the album, other than "I'm Only Sleeping"
Let it be sounds like jam sessions as well apparently. The most overly produced beatles album....sounds like jam sessions 🙄.
Some weird takes in this video.
I respect your opinion but the early years were so much more impactful and important than you make them out to be.
To get the impact of the early albums … well, you had to be there.
totally agree
The thing is the cultural impact of the later albums aged definitely better than the old albums. I say it’s more modern in composition.
The fact that it was their first standalone album and the fact that it contains Twist and Shout alone make Please Please Me one of the most important rock albums of all time.
@@zendt66 Exactly.
"All My Loving" is a classic song from "With The Beatles"
and dont bother me
That and Don’t Bother Me, since it was Harrison’s first attempt at writing a song
The best love song ever written
Finally, All My Loving gets some recognition lol
@@andrewpappas9311 That was actually George’s third attempt at writing a song. The first song George wrote was In Spite of All The Danger (1958) co-written with Paul and the second one was Cry For a Shadow (1961) co-written with John
I feel like if John accidentally ran over one of the fan girls they’d still be screaming in joy
Uncle which John we talkin about here Uncle?
You still got lumbago
Well I’m talking about John Lennon but probably john marston to only thing is he’d be the only one smiling
John would do that but not as an accident
Well yeah he was a notoriously shit driver
He got in a car crash during abbey road recording and took a long break
Interviewer: How did you find America?
John: Turned left from Greenland
Johns wife looked so disappointed
When are you getting a haircut?! I had one yesterday
Reporter: “What’s your favorite hobby?”
John: *write something down on paper and shows to reporter
Reporter: *shocked face
He’s so harsh on the old Beatles lol
i mean yeah its pretty generic pop rock
Anuj Jain ye but it’s the Beatles
Anuj Jain yeah but it sounded different at the time then the regular sound
It isnt generic at all
it doesn’t stand out that much but sometimes you just need to jam out to some catchy 60s pop rock and the early Beatles are perfect for that
the dude just dropped a "just another happy beatles song" at here comes the sun
it shows he has no clue what he is talking about. I play that on my guitar the beauty of this song cannot be over stated. Its like the planets aligned to have such an amazing chord structure. But to him its just a HAPPY beatles song. He is not an expert on the Beatles. Clearly doesnt know much about music.

Cant believe he would do george harrison that dirty
sixbells99 This guy knows a shit ton about music, dude. Have you seen any of his other videos?
Their early albums made them famous. Their later albums made them LEGENDARY
I couldn't agree more
I read that George Martin said once that not including "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" in Sgt Pepper was a "dreadful mistake". I would agree with him, and because of that my personal list has "Magical Mystery tour" at the top.
Stefano Allari That is why I do not consider Magical Mystery Tour (and of course Yellow Submarine) technically to be a 'real' Beatles album, since Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields were previously released as a single record. Same for All You Need Is Love.
Magical Mystery Tour Album was actually an EP containing only 6 songs in it's original UK release in 1967 (movie soundtrack). But the 'full' album was indeed released for the U.S. market also in 1967 (including the 3 above mentioned singles), and much later in 1976 for the UK.
@@GdF420 yes, of course I referred to the US LP version. I agree that it was a strange release, but song for song Magical Mystery Tour (of which I own a very nice EMI anniversary lp) is incredibly good.
Strawberry Fields should have been on Sgt Pepper, but I think Penny Lane fits better on MMT
Fool on the hill is amazing
But George said he probably would have gotten rid of "Lovely Rita" to make room for them which would destroy me because that's my 3rd favorite song on the album!
Not mentioning Hey Bulldog and Tomorrow Never Knows is a crime.
Paulo Ferreira and Piggies
@@thomasbladen6019 Piggies is a pile of poop.
Tomorrow never knows was so revolutionary. First public awareness of meditation, acid trips and mindfulness. One of their best songs.
Yes
fr
When a beatles fan mentions yellow submarine but forget about hey bulldog.
Didn't he?!! Shocking. Like mentioning the male-human anatomy without mentioning the balls! Kids today.
The bassline on that song is soooo good.
What blows my mind isn’t necessarily how influential the Beatles are, but the fact that they accomplished so much with thirteen albums in a span of only SEVEN YEARS.
I am sorry but Ob La Di Ob La Da was a masterpiece in itself
I forgive you
Imagine not mentioning drive my car absolute banger
nah it's too early beatles era for me and probably for him too
@@valentinp.g.hubauer8509 it sounds more early Kinks than early Beatles
First of all I want to commend you on your unwavering ability to convince me that you know nothing about the Beatles whatsoever. At the very least you do not seem to me to be any kind of fan worth their weight in salt, or mud.
I would have with more ease accepted the fact that you were making a list of the top 10 Beatles albums. However you have insulted Beatles fans (in my opinion) by making a list of the "worst"..... the "worst" do you hear that.... Crickets.
As in the same cricket you would hear if you were sitting in church, and told everyone that you were going to make a list of the worst things that Jesus Christ ever said. Then assured them that you would eventually get to the best things he ever said but that you wanted to start with the worst first. And that in the progression of this list reaching number one you would tell them that you skip over some of your favorite things Jesus said, but it's still on the top of your list. Also I'd like to speak to the fact that you called songs such as Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da "a filler song"... what are the Beatles tofu?, are they soy?
Honestly do you think that this is just nitpicking, or that it's a real Beatles fan that you've insulted? I believe you didn't choose not only your words more precisely, and with more care, concern, and respect... that even moreover the greater insult is the name of the video all together. I wonder if you were asked what is the absolute worst Beatles song If you could answer. If so, and if you had children could also tell me which one was your worst favorite child, then you probably could answer me as to which child you would "skip over" when it comes time to feed them, or take care of them, even show them love, and respect?
Don't get me wrong it's not as if I would criticize you if you were to say which one of the members was your favorite. However for you to say which one was the worst does not fit it does not equate and it has no place in a Beatles forum type setting.
Now I know that leaves it open to the argument that it's comparing apples to oranges. However I would like to profess that almost for a fact no true Beatles fan would call any of their albums the "worst", So yes in my opinion it with full validity be likened to sitting in a church full of believers in Jesus Christ and tell them all that you're going to tell them the worst thing Jesus ever said. I won't even use the argument that you were more than likely not even born when their last album came out because that's not fair to anybody that appreciates their music can and should.
Besides I have a greater point to be made in mentioning that your number one album on that list that is to say not the worst of their albums but the number one album on your list has a song on it that you said you skip over.

Obladi oblada is a great song, why does everyone hate it man.
It is annoyingly catchy, which there isn’t anything wrong with. But that’s why I think people have a gripe with the song.
It's the second best song next to little help from my friends
It’s so goddamn obnoxious
I like it too. I think it has a lot to do with John calling it ‘granny shit’.

I think he's a little too dismissive of the early beatles albums, they still sounded so good and were so catchy, like come on.
But at the end of the day, that's it. They're mediocre catchy pop songs. Extremely overrated imo. They deserve to be at the bottom of the list. Pre Rubber Soul Beatles dont even hold a candle to the rest of their work.
Gabriel Bennett you can say whatever you like about their more poppy hits in early beatle era but the ballads are what really stood out: Anna, till there was you, yesterday, etc I think it’s unfair to dismiss those
@@user-os5vj7vh4w Okay, Yesterday is definitely up there, but other than that its just sorta... meh. Definitely not bad. Just meh.
I love their oldest albums way better, it’s more rock’n’roll, kinda like Ricky Nelson style. I love it.
I'm more of a fan of their 60-65 stuff than the newer stuff.
HELP is John showing the effect Beatlemania had on him. Very honest and pretty deep!
Yeah, he's pretty clueless about that one.
Yes. I used to listen to it as a kid and it's so upbeat sounding and I also I was so young I never understood the deeper meaning. If you listen to the lyrics now it is a pretty dark cry for help and way ahead of its time. Even Paul says he missed that his friend was crying out for help at the time and said if it happened now he would get the person some help.
Fun fact: Sargeant Pepper was inspired by pet sounds which was inspired by Revolver! Pretty cool! Sgt. Pepper is ranked 1st in Rolling Stones greatest albums list
Revolver came out after Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds was inspired by Rubber Soul.
Revolver album cover looks like a chipotle bag
Seriously?
In abbey road, he says after sun king the next few songs blend together. Yeah, it’s a medley, they literally blend together, that’s the point.

@@adamtrott78 Eh, well ok ok

@William Magee considering he has expressed distaste for songs blending toghether and has put a lot of albums lower because of it (e.g. dookie), i mean, pretty much lol
@William Magee what's with pink floyd
"the next few songs kind of blend together for me"
Yyeah, that's why it's called the medley. Several song fragments were assembled into a single song. "Mean Mr Mustard"'s sister's name became Pam to connect with "Polythene Pam", and so on.
Then the end of Polythene Pam leads directly into She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.
@@cheeseham9503 "hey lookout!" In my mind, the medley is a precious mix of "we don't gaf anymore" and "let's do this once more as the tightest band ever", and I love it.
ikr thats why its called the abbey road b side medley lmao, i dont think he knows much about the beatles 😂😂
@William Magee Why would there be a negative connotation? I didn't detect any. It's just that a medley IS a few songs blending together. That makes his statement seem out of place in a "shaped like itself" manner.
the medley is mid, I wouldn’t give it much more thought than what was presented in this video.
That whole time he was talking about Abbey Road he didn’t even mention “Here Comes the Sun” I know I sound cliche but you can’t deny how good it is.

Also, nice picture
Actually, when the Beatles covered songs like "Roll Over Beethoven" they were reintroducing American kids to music they had STOPPED listening to. That stuff was no longer being played on the radio. The pop charts weren't Chuck Berry and Little Richard. They were Fabian and Frankie Avalon. That's WHY the early Beatles sounds so good. They were a throwback to REAL Rock n' Roll, but with very unusual chords and very tight harmonies.
I heard the Beatles' Roll Over Beethoven and Rock and Roll Music long before I'd even HEARD of Chuck Berry.
@William Magee I certainly did. I was a kid in the 1960s. Chuck Berry was no longer being played on the radio - Top 40 only played current hits, there was no oldies station. I didn't start to hear 50s music until later.
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is so fantastic yes.
And thanks for mentioning "Rocky Raccoon," too.
Rocky raccoon is my favorite Beatles song personally, I feel like no one ever talks about it so it made me happy to hear too!
Rocky raccoon has a special place in my heart.
Who even is Gideon?
Man this may sound hideous but I love the original recording of "Strawberry Fields" much more than the final one.
Me too. Take seven i believe
“I’m only sleeping” is my favorite Beatles song
Personally Queen is my favorite band but I think that the Beatles was the most influential band ever
Honestly me too, for both opinions
I wish you mentioned Hey bulldog. One of their best harder rock songs off of Yellow submarine.
God, that's such a good song. For the little amount of recognition it had at the time it certainly aged incredibly well.
The only great song in Yellow Submarine!
@@Eyeofthetiger69 take a time to listen to "only a northern song".

Billy-I'm 63 and lived through the Beatles 'era,' and am glad you made this video because it's interesting to me how you perceive the very same music which the older crowd know so well. I'm also interested because when my generation of people were your age we DIDN'T like our parents' music (in general) whereas your generation, by liking The Beatles, is liking your GRANDPARENTS' music. I must confess, because The Beatles' music was always the music of youth as it came out, I find it hard even now to think of it as 'older people's' music. Their songs still sound youthful and fresh to me, and mostly not 'dated.'
May I give you some reactions to your video and perspectives?
In the 1960s The Beatles were, first of all, unusual because their sound was different and unique compared to everything else we'd heard so far. Their 'mop top' haircuts perhaps did as much to make them stand out as their music did, and I remember a big older-generation backlash against their long haircuts. (For example, the barbershop my dad took me to as a kid listed its different haircut styles and prices and among them was "Beetle-$3.00" (the name "Beatle" was PURPOSELY misspelled to be derogatory and the $3.00 price was deliberately the MOST expensive haircut available, again to show disdain for the look and, if possible, discourage it. Even so, the look caught on fairly quickly and during the 1960s the Beatle 'mop top' cut became the norm (you can even see the Beach Boys go from their clean-cut earlier image to the Beatle haircuts and psychedelic clothes).
I think we may have garnered a different perception of The Beatles at the time because we grew and developed along with them gradually as they themselves grew and developed-they 'led along' their audience, who changed readily enough, album by album, to keep up with them. Your perception of the earlier Beatles albums as not as interesting strikes me as curious, and I think it's because I retain such a love for the earlier albums because they were so novel at the time compared to everything else that was available. For those earlier albums, their penchant to write love songs most of the time wasn't received as artistic 'shallowness'-and that's my word not yours-because so much of popular music in those days was along those lines as a sort of expected and standard thing. As a kid I remember thinking "I Wanna Be Your Man" which contains the line "I wanna be your lover baby…" was a bit risqué-can you believe that? Even so, it doesn't come close to their later line "Why don't we do it in the road?" For their time, The Beatles could be a little edgy. John and Yoko's "Two Virgins" album cover was downright scandalous for its time.
I think what I appreciate most about their earlier albums is that they're closer in time to The Beatles' Hamburg days when they became a tight, tight band as performers. Some of that edginess carries over into their earlier records, although they had to grow accustomed to the process of recording in the studio, which is different than playing live on a stage in a club or theater, and the studio work can be its own kind of stressful and even somewhat inhibiting experience-mainly because you're striving to not make mistakes, whereas in live performance you're striving to make great band tightness and great interaction with the audience-mistakes come what may. Again, their earlier albums are full of The Beatles finding themselves as songwriters even as they'd already found themselves as a cohesive band.
I think there's also a sociological aspect to the earlier albums which can be missed by experiencing the music alone. Radio airplay in those days was perhaps an equally important exposure for their music as were records, and singles were sometimes even more important than albums (which cost more and took longer to listen to, whereas singles played on radio were short and free, and played quite frequently). What smart phones are to teenagers today the transistor radio was to my generation-just about every young person either had one or wanted one. At times during the first half of the 1960s The Beatles as people and as an image and popular phenomenon were at least equally as important as their music. Kids wanted to hear them interviewed, to read about them and see their pictures in the teen magazines, and of course to see them on TV and (once A HARD DAY'S NIGHT was released) in films. Their Liverpudlian accents and dish-it-right-back humor were novel and even captivating. When their films were broadcast on TV later, they were special events like the annual broadcast of THE WIZARD OF OZ was back then. Beatles' appearances on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW were national phenomena as well, and all of this fueled Beatlemania, which became larger than life and than The Beatles themselves. My mom's generation had the 'bobby soxers'-the teenage girls who screamed at performances by the young Frank Sinatra-but that was small-scale compared to the firestorm of enthusiasm The Beatles caused worldwide, and for a number of years.
Once they became a studio-only band, Beatlemania faded somewhat but many American kids were so hooked that we looked forward to every new album or video appearance, as Phil Collins has said, like Christmas morning when opening presents. The Beatles kept changing their music, partly to keep up with the times and partly leading the change in the times. I think where I would rate their albums somewhat differently than you did (which is OK) is in terms of the societal impact their songs made during my youth, the personal memories I have which accompany their songs-their songs being the 'soundtrack' during particular years/times back then-and so forth. For example, "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That" was the first Beatles single I ever bought (actually, my mom bought it for me because I asked for it), so even though CBML is a fairly straightforward early song (modified 12 bar blues verse, Intro based on the chords of the Bridge, etc.) it's special to me for that reason. But I also well remember, and still think, that as a performance that record is just EXCELLENT. Again-the early Beatles recordings got a big 'boost up' from their Hamburg days and that carried over into their early albums, probably because even when they recorded those earlier records they did it more like a live performance would be done. Later on, as four and eight track tape became available, they spent more time perfecting invdividual tracks in the studio and that can sometimes seem to take some of the live-performance 'electricity' away.
Sgt. Pepper is widely considered their most important and best album, but its songs are also among the hardest to replicate if you are deeply into their music and perform it yourself. Kids in the 1960s all wanted guitars (acoustic at least) so we could play our favorite artists' songs ourselves, and the Sgt. Pepper songs are much harder to self-perform than is the earlier material or some of the best later songs. Also, many of the songs on SP are written in 'nonstarndard' song-forms. I think SP is their most innovative album where the quality of all the tracks is super high, although as a concept album it's also a very variegated smorgasbord of songs, some of which don't seem very related to each other. (And that's OK because it reflects the four of them going in different directions while still retaining cohesion as a band.) My own least favorite Beatles album is the White Album-I THINK because of the length and also because the 'vibe' of the songs is beginning to reflect the band's interpersonal tensions and cynicism/sarcasm; it strikes me as reflecting more about the band's own tensions (and perhaps fatigue as well) than being about fan-oriented artistry. My own favorite whole albums are actually "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" because of the tunefulness and solidity of the songs, plus the band tightness is still there. However, I also love that George Harrison's songwriting bloomed and was allowed greater exposure on the later albums. All of that said, there are tracks on EVERY Beatles album that I especially love and would't want to be without.
ChipsAplentyBand Very comprehensive view of the Beatles phenomenon. Thanks very much for taking the time to post your thoughts and feelings. Cheers

please, please shut the fuck up
Thank you :) i really enjoyed reading your comment. Also sorry of my spelling on this post (i am finnish).
I really understand how you think the early beatles are so good, but i dont still see how you could rank A hard days night and help! higher than sgt. peppers Abbey Road , revolver or any of the newer albums, they went to so many different directions on the later albums and they invented so many new music subgenres.
I still really understand how the early beatles were so famous as they were, unlike many people of my generation.
So yeah, i would like to hear a bit more on why you think A hard days night and Help! Are better than the late beatles.
I dont really either see why you think that the white album is worse than yellow submarine. Yellow submarine is just songs from revolver and some mediocer songs, unlike the White album, where the Beatles experimented so much. They tested to do some Folk rock, and did it really well, and you see it in Blackbird and many other songs. The White album also have some really Weird songs, they invented metal on that record. Also there is two of The best George Harrison songs (something and while My guitar gently weeps). There is also some of the greatest Beatles songs is general on that record.
Dont forget that i still really appriciate the older Beatles albums. I would rank The Beatles albums like this.
13. Yellow submarine
I already explained why i dont like this.
12. With The Beatles
I really like every record of The Beatles if we dont count yellow submarine. There is many good songs on this record and some ok songs. I really like too to watch the live performances of the old Beatles, i like to see how they really enjoy singing on The stage. I still have a bit of The same flaws that Billy Cobb had on this record.
11. Beatles for Sale.
This is also a really good record and i kinda just have the same reasons why i like this and why i dont like this as i had with the previously mentioned record.
10. Let it be
So yeah, this is the worst record of the late beatles era couse here is just a few good songs and others are ok. Why this is higher than the previous two records is becouse here is the song let it be, wich is one of my personal favourite Beatles songs. Then there is long and winding road wich is also really really good.
9. Magicial Mystery tour.
This is just sgt. Peppers but much worse, The songs that Billy named on the video is in my opinion the only actually good songs on the album. I still my self have to real quick here mention hiw much i like i am the walrus, the only problem with that song is that i dont really know what they mean with the words tho. Strawberryfields forever is also one of my favourite Beatles songs.
8. Please please me.
Please please me has really no bad songs, every song is good on this record, i can't even see really any just ok songs on this record.
7. Help!
Help has two of my top 10 If not top 5 songs wich are unsuprisingly yesterday and help. I personaly am not really so suprised that John Lennon thinks that help is one of his favourite songs. Yesterday is also a really really beutiful, emotionfull song.
6. A hard days night.
A really cool album with no bad or mediocer songs. Every single song is good. I just quickly also want to say that the main readon why i dont like the old Beatles as much as the newer is becouse the songs does not have so good meanings or any hidden meanings.
5. Rubber soul.
This album is where they took different directions and experimented many different things the first time. Here the Beatles really showed the first time how talented they actually were.
4. Abbey Road.
This is really really really amazing. I still thin that some people overrate this saying that this is the best album ever by anybody. Every single song is still awesome on this record. Also The third best George song and the second best Ringo Song. This record also have some of the best Beatles songs ever.
3. Revolver.
Every single song is also really good on revolver. Also Eleanor Rigby is in my opinion a top 5 Beatles Song. There is also many top 20 Beatles songs on this record.
2. The White album.
I already explained why i love this so much.
1. Sgt. Peppers lonely heart Clubs band.
In my opinion this is the best album ever made by anybody. I dont see anyone ever making a record as good as this. The best Ringo Song on here. The best Beatles Song (A Day in The Life). Many top 10 Beatles songs (for The Benefit of me kite!, with a little help from my friends, shes leaving home and Lucy in the sky with diamonds).
Remember that this was just my personal opinion. Also Even tho The older records were worse in my opinion the thing i like maybe most of The Beatles is The evoluution of their music wich of course would not be possible whitout The older or newer songs.
Have a good day and a really good life! :)
I really enjoyed this Billy, thanks. I'm obsessed with them right now. They began by perfecting the 2 minute pop single and ended setting the standard for every band to follow.
I don’t know why so many people don’t like ob-la-di, ob-la-da or why you almost exclusively like John Lennon’s deep, very outstanding psychedelic songs, although I prefer them too (of course not only John Lennon wrote these type of songs) But they’re not all better because of that uniqueness and that particular aesthetic. Ob-la-di isn’t super unique or emotional, the song is very catchy though. But not every song needs to have this peculiar and deep meaning/sound to be good IMO, it’s a good song. What I like most about it is the lyrics, it has that very down to earth and descriptive Paul McCartney style to it, like penny lane. It’s like he’s telling a story. It’s also that variation in personality, music telling and story telling, almost like yin yang which ensures almost everyone can enjoy the Beatles, and the songs are so brilliant and different from each other. That’s why I love the Beatles.
Did.. he just skip Because?
Metallideth very disappointing......not just Because
Yep Because harmonys is worth mentioning but gor a short video he got majority
I noticed that too. And also didn't mention Dear Prudence, another fantastic song. But hey, guess you can't name all the songs. ;-)
Slayde Said neither I will :c
He also left out Beatles For Sale/Beatles 65, and The Beatles Second Album entirely. Not that these are my favorites, but there are some classics on those, and for full historical perspective, they should have been included imho.
I was cool with this video until he called obli di obli da "filler"
Agreed
seriously. that song is amazing
Definitely. That song - like so many Beatles songs - is like nothing else before or after.
Wild Honey Pie is shit and that is the real filler
I had a musician friend who absolutely loved this song when it came out. It is also, I near as I can tell, very popular with Mexican audiences when Paul McCartney performs it now in concert. Disliking a particular Beatles song often says more about the listener than the song.
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR IS THE BEST BEATLES ALBUM AND YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND
HELL YEAH BROTHER
Nah. It wasn't even an album at first. They only made a few songs for the movie and then picked some other songs to fill the b side and release it as an LP.
It truly is
I glad that someone your age discovered the Beatles. In 1964, I was 11 & they were totally different from anything else we had heard. That is what made them popular. The fact that our parents didn't like them made them that much better. Each album grew more complex as they honed their craft. You have the advantage of listening to their entire catalog all at once and making comparisons. We waited in anticipation for each new song and album to be released to discover how much they had grown since the last release. There will never be another band that comes close to their success. EVERY band since them has copied them in some way. P.S. I like your T-shirt.
They turned crazy after Bob Dylan introduced them to tea.
Lots of tea...and biscuits.
haha. That was after their dentist spiked them with LSD in '65 though.
Lucas Lust The Rutles were truly amazing, unlike the parody Beatles
#LegalizeTea
@@yiotispan and sold more albums than the entire Earth's population
You can't put revolver at 4.
It is just wrong
Tomas Miranda it is very overrated IMO. While I love Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, and Doctor Robert, I believe Revolver sticks to the “lovey-dovey” beatles that is usually pointed out when people talk bad about the Beatles.
revolver is the best
Gorillaz is blur for Weebs you’re just wrong on so many levels.
Some Guy ok
He can
'OB-la-di-ob-la-di is just filler'
*stabbing sounds*
"OB-la-di-OB-la-di life goes on brah"
1 Abbey Road
2 Revolver
3 The White Album
4 Magical Mystery Tour
5 Rubber Soul
6 Sgt Peppers
7 Hard Day’s Night
8 Let It Be
9 Help
10 Please Please Me
11 Beatles For Sale
12 With the Beatles
13 Yellow Submarine
Yes thank you! Sgt peppers is so overrated imo. It’s undeniably amazing and was mind-bending for the time, but it’s definitely not their best album.
Mine is same as yours, but swap AR for white album
"Twist and Shout" from Please Please Me was a cover of a 3/10 song that turned it into a 9/10 song. Give the original a listen and you'll see that the Beatles were not just "conforming to the style of the era". Even then, they were updating and redefining that style.
Excuse me if i fell is a brilliant song
AND OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA ;(
Sansfunny lol “If I Fell” is probably my favorite Beatles song. Those close-harmonies between John and Paul are divine.
Edward Chamberlin exactly its a beautiful song
Yeah you don't find people using the chord progressions the way they did today. Very unusual chord progression. I think John Lennon dismissed it himself didn't he? He'd say 'that was just a piece hack I had to write songs it was my job. I'd put myself in phony situations just to come up with a number." The chord progression in "I am the Walrus" is odder still. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" isn't really in one key. Its sort of A mixolydian but then it goes to B flat but its sorta in F and then briefly in D and then to G...then back to A mixolydian. You don't find much songwriting like that in popular music anymore. The average listener would be unaware how many times it switches keys.
If I Fell has my favorite Beatles harmonies ever, hands down. The lyrics are all also very pretty.
Sansfunny lol How about Till There Was You, This Boy, I Feel Fine and Paperback Writer?
This man did not just say that Beatles For Sales and HELP! are bad albums
this video gives some really good insight onto different albums. i've been listening to the beatles for as long as i can remember. i found it really funny that yellow submarine was the lowest rank as that was my favorite when i was younger, along with magical mystery tour. a lot of what was said was based off of you not really liking their earlier stuff, which i thought was interesting because i love most of their earlier songs (maybe it's the teenage girl in me lol). i think the beatles have always had a unique sound, despite their earlier songs being sappy and lovey written. nowadays, my favorite album is definitely rubber soul. i also really love their white album. i grew up listening to sgt. pepper because of my mom, and now i have all of her sgt. pepper vinyls. the beatles undeniably made their mark on my life and the world. thanks for the cool video!
You know there’s something wrong with you when you say “obla di obla da” is a filler song.
MC Studios Not going to lie, it really isnt a great song
It is 100% a filler song, I'm sorry
It's a banger
This song bangs anyone who disagrees is just wrong
My favorite
Cheers for giving Magical Mystery Tour some praise, definitely the most underrated beatles album
was listening to that album today. aged like a fine wine, especially with bands like tame impala basically adopting that sound. specifically the John songs.
My favorite album. There are no down moments. Every song is an “original beatles hit”. (Maybe besides your mother should know, although i still love that song.)
Originally, the Beatles wanted Sgt Pepper to be a double album. EMI said no and some of the songs were saved and used on MMT, then Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were added to make, basically, Sgt Pepper II.
It's great, but the most underrated is Yellow Submarine
I think it's underrated because many people consider it a US compilation album that shouldn't count, even though Parlaphone released it as a full LP later.
“The Long and Winding Road is okay”
Okay?!
All My Loving is the most beautiful and dynamic ballad ever written
No... its not really a ballad tho
Baby Your a Rich Man is probably the most underrated Beatles tune, then Hey Bulldog
Long Long Long
The excitement and energy of the early Beatles was dope. Lyrically simple sure, they were a new pop band. Their early shit was amazing this dude is a fool speaking ill of their “early sound”. That sound IS the Beatles.
I think Day Tripper is freaking awesome. Is that considered underrated?
I could get behind this comment, also possibly Think For Yourself, or It's All Too Much. Personally I l9ve I, Me, Mine, and Old Brown Shoe as well.
I totally agree. Baby your a rich man is one of my favourite.
Why is he so against a lot of their music about love and happiness?
I think it's more like there were already a ton of songs at the time that depicted love and happiness. There's nothing wrong with love and happiness (and I'm just guessing here) but I think he wanted to talk about the songs that really influenced music of today. That doesn't mean he's necessarily against it.
anonymous sponge you know he shat on their “sappy” love songs but i feel that that’s some of their best work cause it’s very genuine and true not just some one direction piece you know
@@christiancevallos9820 oh, no don't get me wrong. I absolutely love their older songs, and ya he come off kind of rude. I know this sounds like me speaking for him, but I just don't think he was intentionally shitting on their songs about love and happiness.
He's a sed boi
Cuntmobile 69 he must be a sad man(ah look at all the lonely people)
The beatles: From best to best.
From (Pete) Best to Best selling band of all time.
Nice work. I watched your Pink Floyd video which was well done. I was born in 1964 and grew up with this music in the background and then in the foreground. As an eight year old I played the hell out of magical mystery tour. One of my older sisters had bought it and it came with a big book And a couple of times a year they would show the movie on Saturday afternoon on one of the UHF channels out of Buffalo, NY. I still love it…
Personally a big fan of both early and late beatles
Same here
A Beatle fan all the way. Early since "My Bonnie" with Pete Best till "The End"
Till There Was You, A Hard Day's Night, Ticket To Ride, Help, I Wanna Hold Your Hand etc. Lots of great songs.
@@Nothing_serious
Absolutely!
Me too! I love songs as early as That Will Be The Day! And as late as the Long And Winding Road!
Ummm... I don't think Lucy in the sky with diamonds was the first psycheldic song
Yes Because There İs "Tomorrow Never Knows"
ikr this guy is so uncultured
Sunshine Superman by Donovan is often sited as the first psychedelic song.
Okay, how about the first "good" psychedelic song?
Jack Suss i think he was talking about how it was the psychedelic rock song that went big. While tommorow never knows is great, it didnt have the impact lucy in the sky had
putting revolver above rubber soul is just a really big war crime
Can’t believe he doesn’t think All My Loving doesn’t stand out on With the Beatles. Early Beatles are so underrated
All My Loving is probably the best song on With The Beatles.
“Nothing speical On with the Beatles” ... well.. I’m out
thank you my feeling exactly
@@markv.5962 And mine. I remember buying it when it came out. it was like a revelation.
Well, to be fair: when compared to the later output it really pales a bit.
Yeah. The very music that kickstarted Beatlemania is _nothing special._
Utter bullshit.
Man only likes depressing late Beatles songs. I'm kinda disappointed
Silver Civic Si in my opinion the later stuff was a huge improvement over the older stuff. Still love the older stuff but the later stuff is just more matured and chill inducing.
Relates to people more
Silver Civic Si What do you expect? He likes Radiohead and Weezer
I agree with you. The music that made the Beatles a global sensation was iconic. Catchy and will always be good. The later stuff - the beatles could've played anything, and their fans - which was more than Jesus Christ fans, would eat it up.
Exactly Come On...
Early Beatle Music from Ed Sullivan Miami to Shea Stadium NY
What the F...!!! The Energy
The 70 Million Viewers in 64
... All that happen by By Bad Songs at ther start.. BS = !!!.
But after all that. I did ike your
List & way you presented it.
No doubt for your Age??
U born in 70s or 80s?..
I guess im saying your seeung them from a Historical Perspective which quite Match.the people who experienced Beatlemania directly..unfortunately like you i was born in 1959 and was only 4 old wjen they did Ed. So i started my Beatle Fan club at 8 yr by 10 it was 1969 & those suckers were just finishing..
Damm it Damm it Damm it.
I was 20 yrs old when the Ass Brian Epstien scewed with their $$$ (allott of $$$)..which started the friction & seperation.. I always envied that people that were 18 yrs iold when Beatles arrived in 64.. Its just to much of an incredible Gift to my ears at 10... Thanks again you did an excellent study of Greatest.
& your right. For sure regarding Abbey & Sgt lasting 100+ years from now..
But one of your replierers said global warming will kill eatth before that.
Very Sad but may become true. Why does an Intellegent Being destroy its own planet for its future Children.
Early 60s fid we even consider Global Warming?
Good list man! In my personal opinion, every tier list should go like this, from worst to best
Yellow submarine
1963-1964
1965-1970
Top 3 are Sgt pepper's , white album, and abbey road
Atleast that's what i've most seen followed throughout lists, and I think it's quite frankly the general consensis on how good each beatles album is. Anyways, great video!
On metal, yeah, Helter Skelter and Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix, and the name for the genre came in the same year -- 1968 -- from Born to Be Wild, which actually isn't quite a metal song. Ergo Sabbath and Zeppelin...
The problem with the Beatles albums and songs, is that they're all the best... (except for a few oddballs)
So true.
I totally agree! ♥️
Yes!!
What "oddballs" come to your mind, just my curiosity asking.
@@bradyfoster473 im thinking about songs like why don't we do it on the road
Why do people hate Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da so much?
Because John Lennon once said that he disliked that song, and people are too busy worshiping John like he was a God to realize that it's still a good song even though he didn't like it. The same thing happened with Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
It isnt the best Beatles song, but it does what it does very well.
@@cartertheicon He got sick of it cause Paul did it to death for over 41 takes. He finally left and came back and was super stoned and yelled "this is how the fucking song should go." teetered over to the piano and smashed out those opening chords and then they recorded it. I think he had fun on it as a matter of fact when I listen to it you can feel they're having a blast even if John called it "more of Paul's granny music shit." Personally I love that song and always have and always will
Kel Cornett no wtf lol Paul, ringo, and George had done many takes of the song and still didn’t like it. Eventually John shows up ( he was late) and added the opening piano part. Once they heard that they finished the song bc they thought it had potential
@@cartertheicon well he *was* more popular than Jesus Christ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
he did say that here comes the sun was another happy Beatles song
How can you put mmt ahead of rs
What do you mean: The Long and Winding Road is "pretty good?" Blasphemy!
It was the last song performed by them IT IS A MASTER PIECE
i was so offended, it's one the greatest songs ever written
Late Paul ballads don't stand the test of time like their other work IMHO
Robert “Pickguard” When someone disagrees with them:🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡🤬😡😡😡🤬🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩💩
@@dansheffield4021 What evidence do you have other than your personal feelings? I've watched numerous people (in their twenties and thirties) on CZcams listen to Paul's later ballads and they are blown away by how amazing and moving they are.
Tad late to the party.
I think shes leaving home is one of the greatest songs on the album.
Following and understanding the two story lines, from the family suppressing their daughter living her life to her breaking free is so touching. It truly has to be close to home for hundreds of thousands of people.
Using the contrast of John and Pauls singing to tell the story in the chorus from the parents point of view is beautiful.
This is before touching on some of the musical and production choices!
@Dan Gliddon You just summed up everything that I’ve been thinking about this song! Tbh it’s criminally underrated
My favourite song ever
@@antoniamiddleton911 Awesome! Why is it your favourite song?
I agree. You definitely did not spoil the party (joke intended)
It's honestly in my top 5 Beatles songs. It's just beautiful and perfect in every way.
This is actually a pretty good list, I'd swap Please Please Me with Beatles for Sale and Revolver with Sgt Peppers but other than that I agree with everything. P.S. All the filler songs you mentioned on The White Album are all amazing songs lmao
Your Lennon impersonation is on spot dude
3:31 The debut album 'Please Please Me' (1963) ROCKS!
Give it another listen, preferably the mono mix.
Their next few albums are like boyband albums,
but their debut is more like the rawness from Hamburg.
Nah, definitely their worst album overall. Even Yellow Submarine was better.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
Agreed
Exatly Right
Early Beatles...it caused an explosion
Mark Corkum For Real
If you were around in 63-64 you would have been blown away, it was like nothing ever done before-they kept raising the bar
@William Magee lies, they were uniquely consistent even for those days
Billy. You make valid points.
The thing to remember is that if there were no Early Beatles mushy -I love you girl you love me thank you girl- songs there would be nothing else to come. They did what they had to do to get recorded.
Anyway.. I’m new to your videos and I’m really enjoying them.
I cried a little bit when he said that Within You Without You was a little too weird for him. That album changed my life. To each their own 🤷🏽♂️
Revolution 9 is a absolute hell scape of a song and haunts me to this day.
Finally some recognition for I’ve just seen a face
Across the universe got me hooked on that song
1:07 Finally somebody who understands
