This thread got me thinking: don't these guys deserve a POX? If you could remove ten songs from The Beatles catalog, or, more appropriately, release a Worst Of, what ten songs would be on it?

I've changed my vote, "Fool on the Hill" is worse than "Here Comes the Sun". Maybe "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" is too

Good Day Sunshine.

They're all listenable, except for You've Got My Name (Look up the Number).

If that's unavailable, Rocky Raccoon.

"Hey Jude", obviously.

Not counting anything strictly from the Anthology series...

"Mr. Moonlight"
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
"Get Back"
"Wild Honey Pie"
"Rocky Raccoon"
"Run for Your Life"
"Dizzy Miss Lizzie"

Fuck it, I can't think of others. All of them are pretty uncontroversial except "Get Back," which for a "rocker" is such a fucking limp waste of time, "a return to roots" for people so stoned they confuse roots with first-draft clubfoot whimsy.

What about Baby, You're a Rich Man? Closely followed by Mr Moonlight. Both execrable!

"Hey Jude" for me too, still. Michael is right about the awfulness of "Get Back" too, though I'd throw "Come Together" into the same boat.

"mr moonlight" is fantastic! where else are you gonna get a one note farting hammond organ solo?

'get back' is pretty bad, agreed as is 'hello goodbye' and 'we can work it out' which also has the most annoying macca lyrics ever "c'mon luv be reasonable, think exactly what i want you to otherwise i'll dump you"
and all the rock 'n' roll covers off 'beatles for sale' are pretty drecky too except 'rock 'n' roll music' which is incredibly great

and 'lucy in the sky with diamonds' is pretty bad too.

and i doubt 'maxwell's silver hammer' is anyone's favourite
