What is the most underrated Beatles song?

What is the one Beatles song that doesn't get enough attention for how good it is. Give me one Beatles song that you think die-hard Beatles fans should give a second look and new fans should make sure they hear.

George Harrison's "Long, Long, Long", originally known as "It's Been A Long Long Long Time," from The White Album. It was written as a letter to God. It's just George, Paul and Ringo. John Lennon does not play on it.

Ringo's playing on this track is brilliant.

One of my favorite Beatles songs.

A bit of trivia on this one, on the fade out you can hear a wine bottle begin to rattle that was set on top of a Leslie speaker. The band spontaneously begins to play along with rattling.

Music- oriented: Because
Lyrically charged: I've got a feeling
Most challenging lyrics: Happiness is....
Most demented point: Norwegian Wood (gorgeous melody!)
Most cryptic: Day in the life, Green Onion, I am the walrus

(there is some ancedotal evidence that the last two were written to mislead people, where others claim DITL is about Paul dying in a car accident)

I don't think Something is particularly underrated. It was a #1 hit, several artists have covered it and it still gets played on the radio all the time.

ya? I know there have been some covers of it,, but I have not heard it on the radio at all. I see "let it be" on here,, and I hear that on the radio all the time. No worries :)

Let it Be jumps right off the page on this question.

The words are possibly even more relevent today than they were when they were written.

I marvel at this Beatles song and love the version from Across the Universe.

I'm So Tired is making a comeback in recent years. It's not one of the singles off the white album but I often hear people putting it on repeat and humming it out loud.

It's an amazing song and one that should be among the accepted canon of great Beatles tunes.
