Not a masterpiece but a fun pop song. Beatles did a lot of novelty songs and kids songs. They werent afraid to mix it up and have a it of fun. Its part of their appeal that they didnt always take themselves too seriously.

All Together Now is a very underrated Beatles novelty song.

Your Mother Should Know
I've Just Seen a Face
Things We Said Today

I like Number 9 too but not really a song

 

[Cat A]

Your Mother Should Know

Yes. This and Honey Pie from the white album.

Wild Honey Pie is pretty underrated



I wish I could find a YouTube video of Paul performing this song live.

There's nice little piano interludes in Your Mother Should Know. The compression effect on it sounds awesome, vintage as.
Same goes for the interlude in Birthday, that answering piano that's got some effect on it.

 

[Prince St]

One of my favourites that doesn't seem to get much attention

 

[Icanwalk]

Hey Jude ......... Nah, there's so many to choose from

I'm Only Sleeping
Happiness is a Warm Gun
I Know Your Name (Look Up the Number)
I Want You (She's so Heavy)
Dear Prudence
Oh Darling
Sexy Sadie
Rocky Raccoon
Julia
I'm so Tired

But the best of the lot, perhaps not underrated, but certainly underappreciated IMO:

Would agree with Julia - love that one

Carry That Weight. As part of the Abbey Road medley it gets a bit lost in with the other three, but it's a lovely little song. Would've liked to have it as a full song. But then, Golden Slumbers and The End are worthy of similar treatment.

Even though it's obviously bits of things they had left over tacked together it has always felt like one song to me.

The guitar solos at the end where Paul, John and George all took turns (I think?) were a brilliant idea.

I was just going to post this medley as being fantastic writing that is very under-rated. I listened to just a little while ago after many years layoff and was blown away by the compositional mastery. Brilliant.

This one for me, easily:

Great song, and although it's largely unknown (well relatively speaking considering it's The Beatles) i find that it has a big cult following. Most Beatles fanatics seem to really rate it, including me.

bassline is a cracker, one of Pauls better ones

Great bass = Come together.

Hey have you all noticed there are a lot of cool Cats on this thread?

^^^^

Every now and then I get little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears...

Favourite songs from the 80's thread?

 

[skilts]

I'm Down - Paul as an un-reconstituted rocker. Simple song with driving beat and infectious chorus - actually the song is just about all chorus.
