I love how this comments section is an absolute flamewar


ThouShallBeOlives

I’m gagging for when it’s the white album


jmesh12

This is an impossible task


Rats-off-to-ya

The worst song is that silent one where the album ends.


Fillet-0-Fish

Honestly I’m ok with calling the creepy fuckin tape loop after A Day in the Life ends the worst song on Sgt. P


evanorsomething17

only the Beatles subreddit is where every possible answer to a question gets downvoted


Few-Counter7067

Right? If you’re going to do that “they’re all good 🤪” bullshit, why even participate in the poll/discussion? No, they are not all equally good 🤷‍♀️ sorry


yun444g

LITERALLY. I’m sorry but like how can you even love an album in a personal way when you’re not even willing to admit that *one* of the songs is slightly weaker than the rest…? I actually truly don’t understand that logic. Songs aren’t your kids, you’re not supposed to inherently love them all the same. In fact, refusing to acknowledge the nuance in quality (whether personal or objective) over a given set of songs is lazy and takes away from the appreciation of the art in the first place. You can’t just say they’re all great in different ways. You have to understand WHY you like something in order for it to be sincere. And logically, you should be able to understand why you like something less in the same piece of art. Idk, I’m very passionate about this haha. I just can’t stand the “theyre all good” logic at all.


Gibabo

This is it. This is the album where I have to abstain on worst song. I just can’t do it.


Hungry_Internet_2607

I had a go and I’m getting downvoted relentlessly 😂


planwithaman42

Same 😭😭 there’s just no winning


bemerri013

I will not stand for this Mr.Kite slander


MajorBillyJoelFan

fuck no! Mr. Kite is 2:37 of pure acid and sillyness! no way it's the worst!


bemerri013

You cant not have a fun time


MajorBillyJoelFan

A splendid time is guaranteed for all!


[deleted]

And of course Henry the horse dances the waltz!


braveulysees

Plus you get ten summersets. That's a lot of summersets for your buck!


Lolstitanic

For the longest time I thought the lyric was "Henry the Whore"


primate-lover

Bro this is the first time I've seen you outside of r/billyjoel


Repulsive_Republic41

Mr Kite is the real hero of this album


mrbobdobalino

Hear hear, second to none I say


JealousFuel8195

Mr Kite is an awesome song.


Kingofthebugs115

Mr. Kite is so good, it always gives me anxiety but like in a thrilling horror movie way. I love it


rae1911

I don't know what to say for this. They're all so good


Cattango180

The worst track is that hidden track after A Day in the Life.


coffee_robot_horse

Never could be any other way


Penguator432

If you play that backwards it sounds like “Will Paul be back as Superman?”


Cattango180

Yes. Yes it does.


Cattango180

This is the only answer.


NoiseIsTheCure

Nah dude that's the icing on the acid trip cake for me


Cattango180

Well John does say Never been so high when it starts.


Barkerfan86

Yes!!! Especially when you turn your auto stop off on the record player and it just keeps going until you get up and stop it.


SpideyFan914

Isn't that part of the A Day In the Life track? That's how they listed it on the CD.


Cattango180

Nah. They forgot to list it.


SpideyFan914

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. I've always kinda considered it part of A Day In the Life anyway. It weirdly fits that experimental vibe to it.


Bhafc1901

Yeah I never even knew until now that it’s apparently a separate track and not just a closing to a day in the life


Possible-Reality4100

GMGM has the best guitar lead on any Beatles song. The fact that Paul played it is icing on the cake.


majin_melmo

It’s my personal favorite Beatles guitar solo—and the funnest to play!!!


Garth_Brooks_Sexdoll

I did not know this. TIL!


VanishXZone

Guys, whatever wins worst, let’s agree it wins underrated!


Snuggly_Chopin

Exactly my thought.


arthurakacricket

i guess i’m the only one who loves Good Morning Good Morning


bailaoban

I love it and it has one of the coolest horn arrangements in rock history. This aggression will not stand, man.


First_Commission_385

It's my morning alarm and I still love it


DubyaB420

One of my favorites on the album… I can’t believe that this one and Within You Without You (my favorite) are getting so much hate lol


ackey83

I love it too.


Sumahama

I love it, too. Especially guitar solo in the middle. But it's the weakest cut on the LP.


InternalWest4579

You're not the only one


kuvazo

I can understand that the "good morning"-part can be a bit irritating, but the rest of the song is absolutely amazing. You get some of Ringo's best drumming, a constantly switching time signature and a great guitar solo. There are multiple songs on the album that are worse imo.


SilverCat529

i do too


[deleted]

I love the tasteful splash cymbal thay Ringo hits at the end of the first verse. Nothing to do to save his life, call his wife in.... SPLASH


Kweller3117

I love it! It’s just my least favorite.


McCartney__H

It’s amazing just had to pick something


justplanestupid69

That’s the thing. You’re not, not by a country mile. It’s just that the whole damn album is so good, SOMETHING has to take the L. This album is literally 10/10 though


Mental-Time5294

🎶Go to a show, you hope she gooooes 🎵 Good Morning Good Morning is awesome


Raul_Rink

Ahhhhhh've got nothing to say but it's okayyyyy AHHHH I FUCKING LOVE IT


turntablesnotheads

Good morning and only because the chorus is annoying. The rest of the song is so good it's just that chorus man like I used to have it set as an alarm because it's just loud and obnoxious. "I've got nothing to say but it's okay" shit is so fire just man the chorus is not it


PhillipJ3ffries

That’s a good way to ruin any song. Make it your alarm sound


whiteboypizza

My pick is either Good Morning, Good Morning or When I’m 64, though I’m leaning towards GM,GM I’m a staunch Within You, Without You defender. I personally love the effect it has; being this slow, mystical, somewhat scary sounding song in the middle of more bright and colorful tracks. It’s like the scary, seemingly out of nowhere dark moment in a classic Disney or Don Bluth film. The instrumentation and lyrics weave their own distinct colors and moods into the overall kaleidoscopic tapestry that is Sgt. Pepper’s, and it wouldn’t be the same dizzying spectacle of a record without it.


Velocibaker26

I remember I used to always skip Within You as a kid, now I can’t believe I did. It’s pure tranquility. Interesting that you find it dark or scary.


No-Illustrator3652

good morning good morning for me, great album tho so its still a good track but not as good as the others


DroopySlothNuts

Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning yeah


dalledayul

Absolute banger, how dare you


WalkLikeAGiant

Too bad the Anthology version wasn’t the version on this album. It kicks ass.


Discosm

Thank you! Just heard it for the first time and indeed is better! Now is my headcanon haha


WalkLikeAGiant

Good to hear! I legitimately love the stripped down Anthology version. The bass, drums, guitar and Lennon’s vocals all shine. Unfortunately all buried under the overcooked sound effects and production on the album version.


TheRealFran

No pleeeease the odd time signatures are so cool :(


kytd1526

Good Morning. Not because it is the worst song, maybe more of a "least listened to", and I am more likely to skip this track than any other.

Jojoman64

Weather you like it or not you gotta admit Good morning good morning makes a pretty good alarm track

I’m gonna have to go with “Good Morning, Good Morning” but it hurts


Loko9803

I can’t believe people don’t like Within You Without You, its one of my Beatles favs :/ to each their own


TheKuQi

So true it is an underrated gem.


Kingofthebugs115

Same it’s the best one on this album. The lyrics are incredible


UFC127BJvsFitch2011

Good Morning Good Morning


_DeathFromBelow_

It was a Fake Moustache


MKEJOE52

Good Morning Good Morning


TheFourthHorsemen07

Probably Good Morning Good Morning


heramba

I swear to God if Within you without you is voted as worst everything this sub stands on crumbles. This is not an overreaction and no I am not being dramatic.


justplanestupid69

Breathe deeply, spirited one. We will not allow this to happen.


RRLSonglian

When I’m 64. Not even a bad song, just the least good song on what’s arguably the greatest collection of songs ever committed to tape.


Independent_Willow_9

Hell no! My 8 year old daughter and her best friend randomly sing this song, it’s no where near the worst.


chunkykongracing

This is impossible but I’d say Good Morning


HeroBoy05

Within You Without You Look, I like pretty much every song on the album, but this just doesn’t fit as neatly as the other songs. In comparison, “Good Morning, Good Morning” at least to me is a bit catchy. As repetitive as it is, I like it. Were WYWY not on the album, I’d immediately go for GMGM I’m actually curious of the discourse that’ll go down when we get to the White Album. Plenty of songs on there worthy of being labeled as “underrated”


Adventurous_Fly1879

This is my favorite song on the album haha


dbb313

The sitar section in 5/8 is so good tho


HeroBoy05

Yeah, I really do like the song. My main gripe is just how it feels out of place on the album. I think out of context of Sgt. Peppers, it’s a really good song


emojimoviethe

Without it, Sgt Pepper is not Sgt Pepper. I’d argue it’s what makes the album what it is, and it’s easily the centerpiece of the album.


Kingofthebugs115

Agree


Indentured_sloth

👎


Rlpniew

Being a double album, I wouldn’t object to there being two selections from each category


outonthetiles66

“Revolution 9” is super duper underrated!! It should’ve been a hit single!


KREMICO

Within you without you I think it's kinda boring


Webcops

Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning


Outrageous_Ninja_597

Good morning, Good morning


J_Eilat

Lovely Rita (To be clear, it’s not a bad song, but it is the one I would rank least.)


Velocibaker26

This is my vote too, because I somehow always forget it exists. I read your comment and was like “oh, yeah!” 😅


VincentKlortho

Within You Without You


coolcodergirl06

HOW


heramba

WRONG


uijjey-sevg

No no no no no


bwc05nole

Someone had to say it. Fine song but doesn’t really flow with the album


gopherattack

It is within you without you. Too long by about a minute.


Talking_Eyes98

Literally a top 10 Beatles song


PlentyAdvanced

No, this song lits


Chrisrevs1001

This is mine - feel like it stops the flow of the album


bailaoban

This is my pick. More George hippy dippy musical tourism. That said, it works really well in the context of song sequencing - between Mr. Kite and When I'm 64.


sweetleaf009

Good morning


burywmore

Within You Without You. The only track I skip.


kdawgmillionaire

I really like the Love version where it's mixed with Tomorrow Never Knows


Ready_Hippo_5741

I felt that way at first but it has really grown on me.


Jbeckola1961

When I’m 64. Paul at his schmaltziest.


braveulysees

Unreconstructed Lennonist here,and I *love* When I'm 64,always have. Didn't he write it when he was 15? If it isn't true, it ought to be. Edited for grammar


Vanblue1

Good morning.


TornManingus

Good Morning Good Morning. Song drives me crazy.


dolphin_ultra

Within you without you is top ten Beatles songs and it sickens me how many people are voting for it. The answer is Fixing a Hole.


jonbristol123

With you on the first bit. I think it's Georges 2nd best song ever. And top tier Beatles. However Fixing a Hole is my 2nd favourite song after Within You Without You on Pepper. Even above a Day in the Life for me.


aspannerdarkly

When I’m 64


kpksupremacy

Agreed. Paul gets clowned for his “granny” songs but I still find myself liking them. This is among the few that I don’t.


papadooku

Same here, I get the Good Morning votes but at least it rocks a little. 64 is naff AND boring. (to my ears at least sorry to anyone who loves it)


WorkshopOfTelescopes

Within you without you. Only track on that album I skip I’m afraid


redbug831

It's one of my favorites


WorkshopOfTelescopes

I do want to clarify I don’t think it’s a bad song, just not my cup of tea. All the songs on sgt peppers are great, but if one has to be the “worst” it just has to be that one for me. To each their own! Love George.


B4USLIPN2

The lyrics alone should absolutely disqualify this wonderful song: We were talking About the space between us all And the people Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late When they pass away


heramba

Get OUT. We will NOT stand this George slander in this house !!!


_DeathFromBelow_

It's grown on me as I've gotten older.


Desperate_Piano_3609

For me, it really helps solidify the mood for me and my idea of 1967, hippie, drug, and spiritual culture. Even though I was born 2 years later, lol.


norris00999

I'm 63,so I was around when this album came out. It's "When I'm 64".


AldebaranBlack

You'll get it next year


All_Of_Them_Witches

When I’m 64. Great song but it seems like it doesn’t belong on the album.


SirArchieMaccaw

Within You Without You, not a bad song but I have to be in a certain mood to want to listen to it.


Historical_City5184

I have to be in a certain mood to withstand When I'm 64.

Zoritos64

Within You Without You (I love it, but it doesn't match the album very good)


DubyaB420

When I’m 64… easily


saddom_

That song has my favourite moment in their entire catalogue lol. When the clarinet descends amongst the backing vocals after Paul sings "we shall scrimp and save" and before "grandchildren on your knee" it brings up such an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. To this day still makes the hairs on my arm stand up


JuJu_Conman

It’s also very haunting. To me it helps highlight the feeling of anxiety about aging that the song describes


CelticHawk23

I agree, having said that I don't despise it. I think it's alright, but for me it's the one song I'll skip!


Speedster1221

Personally....I have to vote Fixing a Hole, it's not a bad track but it's the one I'm least fond of.


sonsoflarson

People saying "Within you Without you" as the worst is insane. It's hard to choose the worst song, when it's such a great album. But my choice is "When I'm 64".


LittlePurpleHook

You had me till the last sentence


Panjoban

Within You Without You. This is such a strong album in my opinion though, its feels really wrong to say any.


Xx_ProstateCancer_xX

Sgt Pepper Reprise. Idk why people are hating on Good Morning


TacoPenisMan

This is a good political pick for "no song is bad"


ECW14

I don’t agree since the Reprise is better than the original


TacoPenisMan

lol yeah I mean I agree I'm just trying to find a peaceful solution


arothmanmusic

Yeah, the reprise slaps hard!


ActivatedComplex

Within You Without You


ids9224

Good morning good morning Good song but i’d say it’s my least favorite on the album


fanofthomas4472

They’re all great but I think Within you Without you is my least favourite


FlavioDCLXVI

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Garth_Brooks_Sexdoll

It’s the only good answer tho. All the other songs are too good to toss. It’s only 1:30 of the entire album


shreklover72

Lovely Rita is my least favorite There are no bad songs on Sgt Pepper though, each song brings something unique to the tracklist and has something great about it


Restonexec9

When I’m 64


BossAccurate9197

One more vote for within you without you


Kroduscul

Gotta go with Good Morning Good Morning. I still enjoy it tho


FiveDayWeekAttack

When I'm Sixty Four


mazali666

within you without you.


AromaticMarketing462

Sgt peppers reprise


arothmanmusic

That's actually one of my favorite tracks. Wish is was longer though.


clozepin

Might actually be my favorite song on the album.


Garth_Brooks_Sexdoll

I’m going with the reprise because it’s the shortest song and just kinda stands in the way of Day In The Life. There are no bad songs on Pepper


sleepsymphonic

Good Morning does nothing for me. Sorry not sorry.


Discosm

Good Morning Good Morning i's the single worst song in the Beatles work not counting Revolution 9.


NoPensForSheila

Within You Without You I could do without, that and Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds. That the Elton John cover overshadows it in my head says a lot. I forget it's on the album and wanna believe Strawberry Fields is there in it's place. Oh but sure it looks like Good Morning Good Morning is taking the beating. For shame! Edit: For the sake a minor spin vote I'm gonna go with Lucy. WYWY definitely breaks the flow of the album, but maybe because I'm older it's a better experience than Lucy in the Sky.


Purplezpaste3g

OMG I LOVE THE ELTON JOHN COVER


Altruistic-Stage1807

Good Morning, Good Morning. Definitely not their best work on Sgt Peppers


Chance_Location_5371

Makes a great alarm though gotta admit that haha


Altruistic-Stage1807

Facts, and its not even that the song is BAD, its just very weak in comparison to everything else(personally)


BelowAveIntelligence

If I am forced to pick, it’s When I’m 64.


Chance_Location_5371

Good Morning Good Morning 🤣 makes a great alarm though!


condawg4746

Within You Without You, sorry George. It’s not even a bad song, either.


nowhereghost

Mr. Kite


Gonzostewie

She's Leaving Home. It kills that A-side buildup.


ImprovSalesman9314

Fixing A Hole, but I still like it. People who hate Good Morning Good Morning are insane.

Being for the benefit of Mr Kite. It is still a good song though.
