“She’s just the gull for me”


Shut up and take my upvote

Anytime at All

Fantastic song

This is my favorite deep cut

Fantastic tune

I made a 14 track fan album of some "lesser known" Beatles songs, one from each album and two from The White Album. For your friend who only knows the "1" compilation. 😆 1. Ask Me Why 2. All I've Got To Do 3. I'll Be Back 4. What You're Doing 5. I Need You 6. I'm Looking Through You 7. And Your Bird Can Sing 8. Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite 9. Flying 10. Glass Oniin 11. Julia 12. Hey Bulldog 13. You Never Give Me Your Money 14. For You Blue https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ClKoI9srh6CNykOZASpzS?si=rWrh2E18SgeA2JWNghkmKA&pi=EyaidhW4QMW9u r/beatlesfanalbums

Good list. Also needs Yes it Is. I once stumped somebody who claimed to be a die-hard Beatles fan with Yes it Is. That was pre-Spotify of course.

Thats a favorite of mine. I have it on several of my fan albums. r/beatlesfanalbums

I Need You is one of my favorites, it is absolutely amazing

Ah, Hey Bulldog... a great song, but sorta obscure unless you are really a fan. Cute story: when my twin daughters were about 4 or 5, their great grandmother's nursing home had a performance from a local Beatles tribute band. My daughters thought it was the real Beatles. They were excited to get to meet them during a break, and get some drum sticks from "Ringo". He asked if they had a favorite song that they wanted to hear... and they both said "Hey Bulldog". Ringo was surprised and quickly said they'd have to brush up on that one and maybe play it next time, lol.

Great story. "Obscure" songs was the idea for this fan album. And its not so obscure anymore...they included it on the new Blue compilation.

Wow, this list has some bombs in it. I can't believe these are considered lesser-known. I love Mr. Kite, Glass Onion, and You Never GIve Me Money

Yah I’m way too immersed to have any clue which are lesser known tbh

There are good Beatles fans who sort of stick with hits. The Beatles have a little over 200 songs. From my experiences, a decent fan might know 50 or 60. And that's a lot of songs. I love the three songs you mentioned. I think YNGMYM is one of the best things Paul ever did. But most people do not know songs like these. Nothing wrong with that at all, btw.

Love these, What you’re doing is my fave off this list

Wonderful Paul song. George with that jangly 12-string. r/beatlesfanalbums

I Need You, And Your Bird Can Sing and You Never Give Me Your Money!

Great list. But, you left off "I've Just Seen A Face." 😁

Nice

I’ll Be Back

That song has TWO bridges!

I’ll be back-Was just about to type that… Talk about underrated. And I think it’s one of john‘s very best vocals.

"I wanna go" is such a beautifully delicate way for him to sing it

I think you nailed what might be one of the most poignant moments in all of beatles vocals… no matter how many hundreds of times I’ve heard it, it still gets me every time.

Check out the Elliot Smith cover - really brought me back to appreciate the original even more.

Thank you, I absolutely will. I didn’t know that it existed. Sounds great.

my favorite off ahdn!

While we’re already talking about AHDN, I’ll add You Can’t Do That

This

Yes to this! Great opening guitar riff too.

Oh my goodness so good!

The Night Before. Even John mentioned in contemporary interviews that he liked the song too. Not one you hear get played often.

Great answer - I also really like this one!

I’ve been digging this one hard lately. Those vocals, the response harmonies…It stirs a particular emotion in me that I have never been able to pinpoint but I like it!

I’m so tired

Plays in my head whenever I’m tired. Sooo tired… lmao

I love that song, criminally underrated

I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party is an amazing song, it’s that unique early Beatles dynamism distilled into a few minutes.

Yes! Great tune

“Every Little Thing”

One of my favorite songs from my favorite album

No Reply and What You’re Doing

Both great. I love No Reply from the anthologies they have so much fun on it “You dirty liah…” lol

I really like Lovely Rita

Me too, especially the George Martin led piano jam at the end. One of my favorite instrumental Beatles sections. Edit: After further research, I’ve realized that I had it wrong. George Martin plays the great piano solo. What I called the piano jam at the end (outro) seems to be played by Paul. I love that section.

That's my favorite piano solo of all time. It's so short but it's perfect. Edit: Oh, you meant the outro, not the solo. Well, I stand by what I said about the solo.

After further research, I’ve realized that I had it wrong. As you said, George Martin plays the great piano solo. What I called the piano jam at the end (outro) seems to be played by Paul. I love that section.

My favorite song on Sgt Pepper

Ahhhh Rita!

Ahhhhhh....

I think the ending in particular is overlooked. It’s a great jam b

Me too but I definitely don’t think it’s overlooked

Fixing a Hole

I’ve Just Seen A Face. Not only my favorite Beatles song, but my favorite song in general.

Brilliant song. Probably my favourite McCartney song ever.

she’s just the girl for me

This is my answer too. This song really just hits for me.

The wings over America version is God tier.

One of the bedtime songs I used to sing to my kids when they were little 💛

yes, that one is so good. my mom always thinks it’s a mike nesmith monkees song when it comes on.

This song gets thrown around every time someone asks for an “underrated” or “unappreciated” Beatles song

Your Mother Should Know.

me too

Yes!

I Will

Old Brown Shoe

If you haven’t heard it on a good stereo system from the original 45, have you really even heard it? TOTAL MONSTER.

Wait is my favourite song in Rubber Soul

Question or comment?

Wait is their favorite song from rubber soul 👍🏻

Baby you're a rich man

I never get sick of this song.

Me either so underrated

*Do You Want To Know A Secret*

Hey bulldog

Yes I love the guitar in this one. So good!

Within You, Without You. So many people skip over it (I used to be guilty too), but it's a nice piece of work.

She Said She Said

1. It’s All Too Much 2. The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill 3. Old Brown Shoe 4. Another Girl 5. Hold Me Tight

I love *Another Girl*, especially Paul's twangy, almost pedal steel guitar-sounding lead guitar work

Dig a Pony

Such a great song

Martha My Dear

[Don't Bother Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k03IQbaTcxc) is honestly one of the best tracks on *With the Beatles* (I'd say second only to "All My Loving")

Flying

Such a chill little number…then the ending turns haunted

ITS ALL TOO MUCH, one of their best, as well as "yes it is"

Rocky Raccoon Take 8

I’m sure you would know about tgat

Misery

Don’t Bother Me and Act Naturally

Mean Mr Mustard

Act Naturally

“I’ve got a feeling.” Something about those “oh yeah’s” just hits right

"I'm Looking Through You"

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey

Some lyrics in the song were taking from sayings from the Maharishi in India. Sexy Sadie is actually a direct attack on him but he changed the name from Maharishi.

Come on it’s such a joy!

She Came In Through The Bathroom Window

Long, Long, Long. Listen with good headphones and reap the rewards!

Words of Love

I don’t want to spoil the party.

Baby’s in Black

I'm Only Sleeping.

Two of us

No Reply. My favorite middle 8 in any Beatles song

Definitely in my top 5, probably in my top 3

A great bridge, but cannot surpass This Boy

Long, Long, Long

Yes, yes, yes. Ringo' drum work, George's sitar-sounding guitar work, Paul on the organ, the sweet harmonies, the soulful lyrics.

Savoy Truffle. The boys rocking with Sounds Incorporated horns.

This is one of my favorite Georges

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. I’ve seen a lot of hate on here for it but I’ve always loved it.

Real love

Yes It Is 🕺

I think some of the singles are the songs that could truly be categorized as overlooked. This one is a beautiful gem.

Here’s my angle- this song is so popular that long time serious Beatles fans might not pay it as much attention as they once did- Twist and Shout: John’s voice is just mind blowing. I played it for my hard core/metal loving son and he even appreciated how he screams on that track. It’s really fantastic.

P.S. I Love You, one of my favorite melodies from Paul 

This is my favorite oldie

‘There’s A Place’ was their first trippy psychedelic song and I’ll die on that hill lol

I feel that way sort of about Things We Said Today- it was about 3 years before it’s time.

Definitely Happiness is a warm gun, in my opinion John's best vocal performance by far.

Rain .

Every Little Thing. Written mostly by Paul, though John's voice looms large in the song. A tender song of devotion and the emotions are real. Written as a contender for the next single. It didn't get there and ended up on the B-side of Beatles For Sale. 🥰✌️🙏

For no one!!!

I really love The Fool on the Hill.

Savoy Truffle

How come no one mentioned Only A Northern Song already? An amazing, trippy, and quite complex song at first hearing. Those drums, that organ, that bass... And the weird but clever lyrics... Damn, amazing

Yes. Wonderfully meta, and quite beautiful. I prefer the Anthology take, but both are precious.

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill!! It is overlooked in my opinion or if isn't, it's hated. Also it's not a completely different song, but I find the Anthology version of Across the Universe (Take 2) the best take on the song, it's way better than album or naked versions!

It’s All Too Much.

The Beatles 'Love Album'. Not sure if this is Canon beatles. But it really touched me when i was a wee lad.

Every Little Thing

Tell me what you see

Ok, I’ll go. I Will.

what goes on !!!! it’s a perfect lennon written song with ringo singing it,,, got me in my feels during my breakup

Dear Prudence

Fixing a Hole

It’s All Too Much

Julia Martha, My Dear

Oh Darling

I'll Get You

Rock N Roll music is one of my fav beatles songs

None are overlooked. I guess a song most people wouldn't know unless they're fans I vote "I Need You"

Old Brown Shoe Long Long Long

Wait. The guitars seethe

Cry Baby Cry

The Word.

I Don't Wanna Spoil The Party, it might be one of my top tracks on BFS

Don't bother me

When I get home

thanks for using overlooked and not underrated because overlooked is the word people really mean to say! anyways, my favs are: - doctor robert (revolver) - love you to (revolver) - ask me why (please please me) - another girl (help!) - baby's in black (beatles for sale) - tell me why (a hard day's night)

Lately, it's been the Anthology 3 demo of "All Things Must Pass." Does that count?

My other one is "Hold Me Tight." That guitar riff is sick!!!

That Means a Lot from Anthology 2. It’s mixed like shit but that’s what I like about it. To me It’s a precursor to the psychedelic sound in music from around 65’ and 66’. Also Ringo’s drumming is in the same vain of Ticket to Ride.

I have two, I’ll Be Back and There’s a Place. They’re both in my Beatles top 10 and my two favorite early Beatles songs.

Most of ‘With The Beatles’ and ‘Beatles For Sale’

1. Chains 2. Tell me what you see 3. Another Girl 4. It’s all too much 5. One after 909

I am going to make Overlooked Songs playlists for all my favorite artists now. Great idea.

Sun King

Baby You’re a Rich Man is randomly the most played Beatles song in my library. it doesn’t come up when I’m thinking about my all time favorite songs by them, but I guess there’s just something about it that is extremely listenable and I keep coming back to it without noticing it lol

Baby You're a Rich Man has been a fave of mine since I was a kid.

I’m So Tired

🎶 This boy 🎶 https://youtu.be/lW5D7HpYhBU?si=C7ZfK3WoZ9lY6Qbj

Fixing a Hole

I Me Mine

Good Morning Good Morning Amazing song. Still salty about that best/worst stupid poll.

It’s All Too Much

Mother Nature's Son!

Baby, you’re a rich man Not a second time You can’t do that It’s only love And your bird can sing Cry for a shadow Hey bulldog I better stop before the list is very long lol

Magical Mystery Tour the song. The song makes me so badly want to go on this magical journey through a strange psychedelic world.

You’re Going To Lose That Girl

The Night Before, If You’ve Got Trouble.

‘Cry baby cry’ does not get a lot of mentions in the broader culture. I think it’s one of John’s best songs.

Absolutely

Flying

Flying, Lovely Rita.

Cry Baby Cry Where has this one been all my life

I can’t imagine life without it!

It's Only Love sounds kind of good despite it's weak lyrics and simplicity

For You Blue, crank it up!

My favorite George track! One of three at least lol

I listened to it for years each time I played that album and always liked it. Then one day I was driving home from work and it just hit me how fantastic that song is cranked up in the car.

I love how that happens.

Rain

Baby You’re A Rich Man

At this point, I don't think there is any Beatles song that is overlooked... :)

Rain is a song that I don't normally put on, but hearing it always impresses me for some reason.

It’s All Too Much

Martha My Dear 💗 When you find yourself in the thick of it, help yourself to a bit of what is all around you!

I’m down

Hey Jude

Misery

The fact that I went through the entire thread and it hasn’t been commented yet just proves how underrated it is. Think For Yourself
