Even The Beatles have the worst songs - Top of the iconic foursome's weakest tunes
Содержание
Even brilliant musicians occasionally stay in decline. And the iconic Liverpool foursome are no exception to the rule. Tonight. The Beatles are spoken of as a legendary band that has had a colossal impact on the culture and thousands of followers! But even the British rock 'n' rollers have had troubled times, which have been reflected in the songs...
Yeah, yeah, this band has bad songs! But that doesn't mean she was bad herself - it just happens. And all. Here are the top five most controversial compositionswhich fans and critics have long dubbed "the worst".
"Revolution 9."
This song is from "The White Album." was extremely well received by the public ambiguously. It's just that listeners instantly rejected while her devoted fans sincerely have been trying to understand! But it wasn't very good. And some people called "Revolution 9" "an unnecessary episode in which The Beatles lost themselves". If you believe the story, there was a lot going on in the studio when the track was recorded real chaos! There was a terrible tension between the musicians, everyone was playing out of tune, and the presence of the Yoko Ono clearly didn't add any colour... In the end, it turned out the way it did.
When the Revolution 9 record was coming to an end, Paul McCartney was away. When he came back and listened to this masterpiece, he long, hard and fruitlessly persuaded John Lennon not to put this cacophony on the album. But Lennon was adamant. He was probably the only Beatle who remained thrilled from "Revolution 9." He subsequently called the song "a depiction of anti-revolution", while critics unanimously dubbed it the "anti-masterpiece.".
"Wild Honey Pie."
This song only lasts 52 seconds! Nevertheless it has been honoured to be included on her tenth studio album ? "The Beatles". And receive mixed criticism... In fact, it's practically McCartney's solo work! At the time of recording. "Wild Honey Pie." the rest of the band members were away or just doing their own, more important things. It was bold experiment on the multi-track recording - vocal, guitar and drum parts are overlaid on top of each other an endless number of times!

Whimsy is that there's even no text! Just a repetition of the title and a modest "I love you, Honey Pie." at the end. According to McCartney, it was a curious experiment, referring to the song "Honey Pie.". At first, he wasn't sure if the short tune was worth including on the album. George Harrison's wife insisted on it, Patti Boyd: the girl found something charming in Wild Honey Pie. Alas, her views were not shared by everyone.....
"Little Child."
This song is essentially lucky compared to the above-mentioned masterpieces-it did not drown in the harshly criticisedbut just became a "masterpiece not for everyone". Probably only loyal fans loved "Little Child". As the critic wrote Richie Anterberger:
"It's not the worst song by The Beatles. Although it's far from something brilliant and worthwhile... But even though 'Little Child' is not the result of the labours of genius, it's still a bright rock'n'roll fun that has a right to live!"
The work on this song broke all records in its durations: The Beatles spent an entire three sessions! The composition was recorded literally piece by piece ! Despite the fact that the vocals are attributed to to Lennon and McCartneyand many people think that all the vocal parts belong to To John. (allegedly "Little Child" was just recorded and mixed twice).
"Hold Me Tight"
This song has fascinating story: The Beatles originally planned to include it in their debut but the decision was changed almost at the last moment. All the records, for some reason, were destroyed. It wasn't until some time later that the band returned to "Hold Me Tight". The song was finally released - it was included in the album "With The Beatles" and received mixed criticism. And it was Lennon and McCartney themselves who criticised it!
"It's Paul's creation. It's a pretty weak song that I never found appealing," John once said.
A barrage of criticism followed from reviewers as well, with some berating the band for their errors in the sound, others noted that McCartney was clearly forger in terms of vocals. And some people agreed that it was. worst moment for the entire record.
"Dizzy Miss Lizzy"
"Dizzy Miss Lizzie." wasn't such a dizzying success! And we're talking about both the cover and the original! Yes, yes, the early version was recorded Larry Williams in 1958, but to repeat the success of his previous hit. "Bony Moronie" I never could.
The Beatles' attempt was seen as tribute to the author of Dizzy Miss Lizzy, and yet characterised as a "messy and unattractive". And yet critics found something positive in this cover: powerful vocals. John Lennonwhich is as good as ever!
