Ok, I don't mean this thread to be disparaging to the Beatles, but I thought it'll be interesting to sift out some of the overrated songs from their catalog. There's this tendency to hold everything they did on an extremely high pedestal. Most of that is well-deserved, but some of their notable songs are less than perfect. I realize this is subjective, but who knows maybe a consensus will be drawn about a song or two.
"Hey Jude" is my top choice. I'm not sure if this song is supposed to bring hope to a sad situation, but it's a real drip anyway. The sadness in this song is like one big goopy tear. Overdone, if you aske me. The na, na, na's at the end also fall into the overdone category. I'm guessing this is supposed to be the moment when hope reigns supreme, but I'll be damned if they forgot to bring any poignance to the moment. "Yesterday" is a close second for me. I won't wax on any longer, though. Your turn!!!!
