Under-rated - Strawberry Fields Forever (best ever psychedelic song)
Over-rated - The Long And Winding Road (McCartney maudlin at its worst)

Not sure how you know how highly rated a song is but...

Underrated: Blackbird
Overrated: Come Together

They're both great, but Blackbird is greater.

In My Life is widely over-rated in my opinion. I've never understood its appeal.

I know a lot of people seem to have a downer on Hey Jude, but all I know is that I remember being round the house of a mate of mine when his sister had just bought the single. Several of us stood absolutely tranfixed, watching that little apple spinning round and feeling as if we were hearing something that had been beamed out from another dimension. I thought it was the most wonderful thing I could possibly hear for the rest of my life. I'm still transported back to that moment in my mind, every single time I hear those opening words.

I've always thought The Beatles were overrated full stop. I do think 'Ballad of John & Yoko' is a very good song though. Great lyrics.

Everything in those two sentences demonstrates that you are somebody who deserves to be ignored.

Yep, some opinions have no value.

Under - 'Happiness is a warm gun'
Over - 'Yesterday'

indeed, when the subject of the beatles is raised you always get an idiot displaying their idiocy publicly.

these people must have a very high opinion of their own tastes, failing to separate personal taste from empirical facts.

It sounds like the most horrible song possible. Can't take you seriously even though I don't know the song

eh? you don't know the song but you think it sounds horrible?

I guess the title of it makes you think it must be something really soppy and schmalzy (like say Especially for You by Jason and Kylie) but I can assure you it isn't

Underrated - Flying (a rare Instrumental.Quirky.Fun.Longer versions have surfaced but as originally released it's a perfect length)

Overrated - Mean Mr Mustard (just subpar for me. Not up to the album)
