Everyone has their off moments...
For me, Rubber Soul has two duff'ns.
What Goes On, disjointed drivel.
And the plain nasty Run for Your Life.
Yesterday, annoys me a fair bit too.
Fellow Beatles admirers, which track(s) have you reaching for the skip button, whilst otherwise loving the Fab Four? |  | | |  |

I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't like Hey Jude much and it goes on for about 4 business days.
I think Yesterday is a bit overrated as well, it's ok I guess, but nowhere near their best. |
Me too. Yesterday is pretty good though.

Another vote for Hey Jude.
Second only to American Pie for overhyped, overlong bore fests. |  |

Saw and heard Don play a full length 'Pie', at a gig in Liverpool. My word, how such a song could turn into a yawn fest was a shame! |  |

American Pie is a truly great song. Nothing like as repetitive as Hey Jude. | | | |

There probably isn't one, it's down to our own personal taste.
You taste food or beer and like or dislike it, you hear music and the same applies. |  | | |

Agree, mostly.
But I think we can a bit further, and recognise that, regardless of our personal taste, some music has, shall we say, more significance, is a better display of musicianship even, than others? Is Mozart crap because I prefer rock and roll?
Much of the popular music of the 70s and beyond was clearly inspired by the Beatles; it's seems churlish to deny they were pioneers.
Is 'A Day in the Life' a more significant song than, say, 'Shang-a-lang'? I'd say yes. And I'd say the Bay City Rollers was crap, and the Beatles weren't.
So, my thesis is that it's not all just down to taste. [Post edited 6 Mar 13:21]

The Bay City Rollers record sales suggest that they were not crap!

Subjective across so many levels. Nostalgia, Trends, Looks, Melody, Riffs, lyrics, a song can transport you back to somewhere euphoric or terrible.
I remember coming back from a nightclub once in the late 90s and my mate who picked us up, drove his car straight into the back of a Ford Orion and totalled his Fiat Uno with us in it. No one seriously injured thankfully, but whenever I hear Return of the Mack, which was playing on the radio at the time... it always reminds me of that. | | | |

I'm not saying I wholeheartedly agree, but considering the same year had: White light/White Heat, Lumpy Gravy, Ptooff etc released, I can seen how a case could be made. |
I still own 2 out of three of those, never really liked Lumpy Gravy that much but have 2 or 3 Zappa albums and my Ptooof!!! album is a fairly rare Mono recording. |  |
