When talking about some of the greatest songs by The Beatles, it becomes hard to keep count of the classics.
For a little less than a decade, the Fab Four notched up some of the greatest rock music ever made, many of which are still being blasted out of stereos today. As with most great artists, though, there are a few more tracks that tend to fall through the cracks.
For every great track like ‘Here Comes the Sun’ or ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, there are just as many prime tunes that tend to get reserved for album tracks. Although they might not have reached the ear of the public, some of The Beatles’ more obscure tracks tend to showcase a different version of the band, either dabbling in newer genres or accidentally creating new styles of music without really trying.
Some of the band members might not have been the biggest fans of their work, either.
John Lennon famously didn’t like some of the greatest Beatles songs, and even Paul McCartney considered tracks like ‘All My Loving’ a cheeky piece of filler before it became the iconic tune most fans know today.
No one can see the brilliance of an artist unless it’s in hindsight, and some of The Beatles’ odds and ends provide a unique glimpse into where their minds were when making some of their masterpieces.
From the experimental to the classics, all of these forgotten Beatles gems deserve to be on the same level as some of their greatest work.
