Beatles Never Bad: am I crazy?

So.
In case you can't tell, I'm a Beatles fan, and I suspect I'm not the only one around these parts.

I'm also not convinced that the Beatles (as a group, 1962-1970) have ever done anything truly "bad".

Yes, I skip tracks from time to time, and I can't remember the last time I've ever listened to "Good Night". Tastes vary wildly from person to person, but I have always felt that out of all the catalog (we're talking original British LP tracks here, Please Please Me to Let It Be and the Past Masters tracks), there was ever any truly bad :thumbsdn: music. I'm convinced that every bit of it is either good or great.

Am I simply not discerning enough of a listener, or am I just completely Beatlemaniac crazy?

 

Mr Moonlight.

 

I'm a huge fan, but well, I think you're just crazy...

 

Don't listen to them you 've said the plain truth!

 

I think "Hold Me Tight" is pretty awful, and I'm quite the fan(atic).

 

i love this one

i think what goes on might be the worst original

still not bad

yes the beatles had mediocre material

but this was offset by an avalanche of some of the greatest and most creative music ever created all in a very short period

 

You know, I thought that "Hold Me Tight" was the one track that The Smithereens actually did better than the original on their recent tribute album.

I'd say "Revolution 9" and "What's The New Mary Jane" qualify as pretty bad, though. Maybe they were more lapses in judgement than bad songs...

 

i think there are more songs i like by ringo, paul, george & john than by the beatles.....

 

The Long and Winding Road winds on too long for me!!

Bill

 

There are no bad Beatles tracks, IMHO.

 

Wow, 5 posts at the same time.

 

#9, #9, #9, #9, #9, #9, #9...

 

I'm with you.
There is nothing essentially bad for me.
Like others, some I skip from time to time. A lot of times i become reawakened to them at one point, because I have skipped them too many times through the years.
One that comes to mind is "Let It Be"

I think Mr Moonlight would be more liked had they kept in the original solo you can find in the Barrett files. So cool and so bad, so real!

 

Beatles For Sale is a preety weak album. Except for two or three cuts, is just a bunch of leftovers.

I dont think the Beatles were the best cover band around. In most cases, I dont think they improved on the originals.

Let it Be and the White Albums have their very weak moments (Maggie May, Rocky Raccon, Dont pass me by)

 

"You Know My Name (Look Up My Number)" is not "good or great," it is terrible. I much prefer "Revolution #9," art usually wins over nonsense.

 

"Blue Jay Way" anyone?

 

I guess you hate those annual Christmas messages too then?

 

I love that song. Listen to the mono mix and tell me with a straight face is not great.

 

"Mr. Moonlight," "Dizzy Miss Lizzie," "All You Need Is Love," "Flying," "Wild Honey Pie," "Don't Pass Me By," and large chunks of Let It Be and Abbey Road are all substandard, to say the least.

 

Oh ok ur right about this but

a terrible song certainly harrison was not in good shape

 

Bad.

Worse.

 

which large chunks of let it be and abbey road or substandard???

 

"I've Got a Feeling," "Dig It," "Maggie May," "One After 909" (not really such a bad song, but a terrible performance on this album), "Come Together," "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," "Octopus's Garden," "Oh! Darling," and most of side two of Abbey Road.

BTW, I think that was the first thread I ever started here on the forums

 

There are a few I could do without, but I can NOT stomach "Mr. Moonlight".
