Not even close...

Help has too much crap surrounding a few absolute classics. Otherwise I'd agree.

Agree with all except The Night Before. I think it's a solid entry given the time.

John dominated as per usual. The title track is one of their best songs, and Ticket to Ride and Hide Your Love Away are great great songs.

The Night Before, Tell Me What You See, and You Like Me Too Much are all solid tracks.

The Night Before, Tell Me What You See, and You Like Me Too Much are all solid tracks.

I'd consider myself as big of a Beatle fan/expert as we have on our boards, ATBSJBS I think certain Beatle songs don't hold up that well 56 years later including these three. They aren't "bad" songs especially judged against the work of their peers, but just don't stand the test of time .
