I think that Two Of Us is underrated, its one of my favourite songs on Let It Be because its all cosy and nostalgic, but the firm beat keeps it away from "granny music" teritory. The harmonies work well and the lyrics seem simple, but the rhymes are clever.

Let it Be is overrated, and I Want to Tell You is underrated. I seem to be the only person I know who likes the song.

I Want To Tell You is my fave George song on Revolver. Have never stood how some people can berate the song.

Hmmm…I think I've already posted a few tracks on this thread anyways (Me and my Monkey, the Anthology duo etc), but one song I've been listening to a lot lately is "I Need You". I get the impression it's fairly popular, but equally is often shoved aside when some of their 'heavyweight' songs are listed. Help as a whole I think is a fine album.

I think thatI Need You, like a lot of songs on Help!, is often overlooked, because people get so caught up with Yesterday, Help, Ticket To Ride and all the songs in the film, that the Harrison songs and the less well-known Lennon/McCartneys get overlooked (I've Just Seen A Face, anyone?)

Let It Be overrated?! Really? I think its incredible, one of the best Beatles songs, probably one of the best songs there's ever been ever…but I'll accept that it is overplayed. Like, its shoved on during any vaguely sad moment (I remember they played it over the closing credits of last year's Wimbledon final, I was like, "Seriously?")
I like I Want To Tell you, especially the percussion and the tempo changes. Its more dramatic than Taxman and Love You To.

I love I want to tell you. The piano bit used to annoy me but it's okay now.
Help is a great album, it has really grown on me and is now one of my favourite albums. I have to say Yesterday is actually one of my least favourite songs on it. Highly overrated too.

The piano chord used for the bit is specifically meant to annoy.
"When I was a robber *Piano Chord* in Boston Place"
"Let's hope this turns out pretty darn good huh"
"Pete may be the best, but Ringo is the star"
Paul:"Don't be nervous John"
John:"I 'm not"

Oh, I know, I know, I didn't mean by any means the song sucked, I honestly can't say that any Beatles song sucks, and I highly doubt I ever will. What do people think about Ob La Di, Ob La Da? It seems to be another that a lot of people think are overrated/worse than people think, but I actually really like it. Especially the Anthology version, I like it better, anyone feel the same?
I Love Ob La Di Ob La Da, and I totaly feel the same.

I still like the released version of Ob La Di better. It's funny, considering how much John hated that song – or just GREW to hate it after too many takes – but his piano is absolutely crucial to that track's drive, wth that ska backbeat.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is among my top ten favorite Beatles songs. I don't know where I'd place it from 1 to 10, but it's certainly there somewhere -- but not #1. The Beatles put out so much high quality stuff, I think it's impossible to have just one #1: I'd have to crowd several songs into the #1 slot -- like packing clowns into a tiny car. Penny Lane would be one of them; but Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da would probably be around #5 or so.

I'll Be Back – Will always be one of my favourites – for some reason it conjures images of the Beatles performing in Spain…perhaps in Sombereros (Mexican) - I have no idea why but it is a beautiful song.
Wait – I never really hear anything about this song. I know it was thrown together quickly and put on the album. Was the song that struck me the most on Rubber Soul.
I Need You – i just love that smooth harmony from Paul & John (I think both) "ahhh-ooooh" just about when George sings "Please come on back to me…". Hard to explain…its the little things.
And your Bird Can Sing – Even if it is rated highly, it can never be rated highly enough and is no.1 on revolver in my opinion. Conjures images of the Monty Python Dead Parrot scetch.
A lot of Beatles songs just conjure up all sorts of imagery in my head and colours, smells etc.
