Welcome to the forum thebeatlesalbum19, although I completly not agree with the things you said about abbey road, because it's by far my favourite album and i think especially the songs you said (except something), get annoying when you hear them too much

All Of The Songs On Abbey RoadExcept For Something, I Want You [She's So Heavy], Mean Mr Mustard and Polythene Pam its not they are bad songs they just get old quickly and extremely overrated
(Thats why i am not the biggest fan of Abbey Road it was WAY TO COMMERCIAL!! it was practically a hit making machine album. I was always a bigger fan of the underrated stuff this album has 0% underrated songs)
Not only was everything you said about abbey road being to "commercial" wrong, you are also the biggest hipster ever.

Abbey Road is not overrated, yeah many people say, it's the best album of the beatles, every song is awesome and the medley was the best idea in music history, but they're right!!!!!!

I thought this was the one forum where I'd never see the word "hipster" being flung about as a pejorative term, but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I remember that from the "general music" forum on imdb…
And, beatlesalbumguy, of course you have every right to express your opinion.
You're still wrong about Abbey Road, of course.
What's commercial about the idea of putting a medley together, which makes all the tracks unusable as singles, which makes Abbey Road the total OPPOSITE of a "hit machine" or "commercial" album.
In fact, it's their albumiest album, imo. If you want a hit machine album, go for Rubber Soul.
And, as we all know, the Beatles never put songs on albums to put them out as singles as well. Just a the end they broke with that concept, because they didn't spent enough time together to put out singles AND album. They were glad they finished Abbey Road in style, so that's totally ok with me.
You're welcome.

You say it's "commercial" as a diss. Why should the fact that people enjoy Abbey Road mean you can't enjoy it? Why? I disagree with it being "a hit making machine album", for all of Paulsbass' reasons, and for one other. They have all said a million times Abbey Road was their attempt to make an album like they used to. Not with loads of singles, but like Revolver. Also, 1 single off the album. If that's a hit making machine album, they suck at making those.

For me, they'd have to be "Yellow Submarine", "Come Together", and "All You Need Is Love". I mean they are good and all, but they just get so annoying after like the first 3 times you hear them! Whenever I ask someone what they're favourite Beatles' song is, I always groan when they say one of those three. They're more that get annoying, but those are my top three.
One of my favorite Beatle songs is Come Together. Ok, let's hear your groans
LOL!! Actually I don't have a Beatle song I say
…. just Obladi Oblada. I don't like it. Not even with mariachis Paul
And I love I want you (She's so heavy) because I like to annoy people with that one
It's also kind of hypnotic listening all the guitars at the end…
I will agree with you on the "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" because my favourite part is the end were all of their instruments are playing and it is hypnotic.

Something is probably the most commercial song on Abbey Road.
I've always found "commercial" to be a strange insult. IMO commercial is usually a good thing. It's possible to make good music that isn't commercial, and it is possible to make commercial music that isn't good (hello modern pop!), but I think generally the more commercial music is, the better it is.
My nominations:
Any song where George has the vocal before Revolver, except maybe Chains and If I Needed Someone. It feels like he has been given the songs that John and Paul don't want to sing, and aren't fun like Ringo's songs. Also, his voice hasn't really developed (I Don't Want To Spoil The Party is the best case, just such a flat vocal).
Polythene Pam ruins the medley. It isn't as interesting as the songs on either side, or as good as Golden Slumbers or YNGMYM.

Any song sung by Ringo. I never specifically set out to hate Ringo songs, they just tend to be the ones that get on my nerves more. Yellow Submarine, Octopus's Garden, Don't Pass Me By…

John sings lead on I Dont Want To Spoil The Party.
I adore I Need You, love how George sings it and that pedal effect with the guitar (just showing some love to a pre-Revolver George song). 
The first time i heard that song i was blown away (i bought a cassette tape of the Help! album and I Need you was the opening song – it was the second beatles album i ever owned).

I second your love for I Need You. Every time I hear a George song, I think, "This is my favorite George song." Then I hear another one, and decide that one is my favorite. Don't get me wrong, he has some missteps, but I am always surprised by the GREAT quality of most of his songs. And yes…I even like the Indian ones.

Georges poorer songs are the early ones; chains, don't bother me, im happy just to dance with you, do you want to know a secret etc. They are ok album fillers but nothing to proclaim as wonderful, ok they do grate on me a bit actually (theres the link to the topic). Roll Over Beethoven and Everybodys Trying… are far better live , either in concert or at the bbc, but they are good r&r tracks. But from Help! onwards i dont have any problem, am learning to love Blue Jay Way thru Ringos drumming.

A couple of people had said Good Night gets annoying. Personally I love that song and find it very enjoyable to listen to, but I guess it's just a matter of opinion. I'm surprised someone even mentioned Golden Slumbers as I find that Paul has amazing vocals in it, but again, it's a matter of opinion. I'm also quite stunned that a bunch of people didn't say Revolution 9. I find that song fine and I also find it very fun to listen to and torture my friends and other people with. Don't Pass Me By easily ranks in one of my favourite songs. I love Ringo's vocals and the song is just fun within itself. Hold Me Tight is very fun and a great pop-type song (In my opinion.) I really enjoy listening to it. Anyways, the one's that are 'annoying' to me are:
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Rock And Roll Music
The Ballad Of John and Yoko
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
I'm not putting these songs down or anything, I truly think they are amazing. But they can get slightly annoying after hearing them so many times.

That volume-pedal is what annoys me about "I Need You" – George hadn't learned to use it too well yet, and he has trouble synchronizing his hand and foot.
"Dizzy Miss Lizzie" does indeed get annoying pretty fast for me. "Hey Jude" gets annoying too, but not "fast"; it's only when it gets around to about the 5 minute mark that I wish it'd just fade out!

Don't understand your hipster = '80s equation; or how Abbey Road is any more "commercial" than anything else the Beatles did; or how that's necessarily a problem!

Yesterday (before anyone castrates me, it's certainly a godly song which deserves its praise, but I've just heard it too many times)
THANK YOU!!!! Everyone I know is like, "Oh my God! I just love Yesterday and I could listen to it all day everyday!" My response: "DIE"
Just kidding, but seriously, the song gets on my last nerve! (Not just because John basically hated it)

1.) ANY song that is the most covered and most often played song in the history of the world would be overplayed and thus annoying to a certain degree, so that's no criteria for being bad or overrated.
2.) If you just forget that this is the most covered and most often played song in the history of the world and just LISTEN to the vocals you'll notice how incredibly intense and soulful and mature this performance is. None of the thousands of covers ever touched it. And Paul did this on the same day as "I'm down". And he did this live while playing guitar. And this was the second take. That's all he needed to record the most covered and most often played song in the history of the world. Fantastic vocals.
3.) Just listen to the arrangement and enjoy the transcendent beauty of George Martin's revolutionary string quartet. These blue notes, that's Paul making sure this isn't Beethoven but the Beatles, this everlasting high note in the last verse…
There is a reason this is the most covered and most often played song in the history of the world, and there is a reason why EVERYBODY (esp. at a certain age) goes "Aaaaaaaah" when I start playing it live, and of COURSE there is a reason John "hated" this (because HE could NEVER have pulled this off).

I actually like that song. It's not my favourite or anything, but I like it. I think that John was just ticked off that Paul did a song by himself and it was a hit world wide.

John didnt hate Yesterday.
"Well, we all know about "Yesterday." I have had so much accolade for "Yesterday." That is Paul's song, of course, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful -- and I never wished I had written it." (Playboy interview 1980)
He also references it in How Do You Sleep? ("the only thing thing you done was Yesterday and since you've gone you're just Another Day"). It wasnt his type of song but he appreciated it for being a fine piece of work.
