George Martin HATED These 8 Beatles Songs

'Imagine' if George Martin passed up on the Beatles, like every other producer did. You can't say it couldn't have happened. Him talking about 'Dead John' almost got me! 💀

I think One After 909 is a fun song. It's not trying to be work of art. Still fun to me.

One after 909 is outstanding. !

I agree the Beatles would’ve never been as big as they were musically without George Martin…! it was him that opened their minds to experiment and try new things and depart from the previous song, writing styles.

"Within You without You " will always be in my top 10 of Beatles songs.

I've always thought that "Within You, Without You" stated directly the theme of all the other songs on the Sergeant Pepper album.

George Martin is and will always be the Beatles producer he was great at working with them probably played a bigger part than we will ever know

I had to pass 25 (40 now) before i got to like Within you, without you. I have no clue about the lyrics and meaning, but the music is outstanding.

Since he was such a perfectionist, these few negative comments really don't amount to much. A man's entitled to his opinions.

For me 'Within You Without You' is a masterpiece ........to each his own.

I don't think George Martin would've used the word 'hated'

Blue Jay way first appeared on Magical Mystery Tour.

George Martin's assessment when first meeting the Beatles is quite insightful. "When I first met them in 1962, their material was terrible." In a separate interview he also stated, "I thought their music and their songs were rubbish." John and Paul had told Martin that they had written more than 100 songs together since 1956. However, only Love Me Do and Please, Please Me were any good...and those had to be completely re-worked. So, we are suppose to believe that in just two and three short years these two "terrible" songwriters whose music was "rubbish" suddenly became "genius" songwriters who released beautiful songs like, If I Fell, I'll Follow The Sun, Ticket To Ride, Yesterday, etc.? Pretty miraculous for two lads in their early 20's who repeatedly stated that they could not read or write music. Lastly, here is a very telling quote that explains a lot. It was published in a Mersey Beat magazine article shortly after Ringo replaced Pete Best and George Martin had met with these "terrible" songwriters: "The Beatles will fly to London to make recordings at E.M.I. Studios. They will be recording numbers that have been specifically written for the group, which they have received from their recording manager, George Martin." If they were such genius songwriters then why did they need songs specifically written for them? The answer is pretty obvious.

The songs are Only A Northern Song Revolution 9 Within You Without You One After 909 The German Versions of I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves You Free As A Bird Let It Be (album)

I actually love "Only a Northern Song." It's a great, trippy, psychedelic, song.

Regardless of what songs Martin disliked, Harrison did not like his tie.

If it wasn't for the Beatles no one would have even heard of George Martin

"It was officially released until January, 1969". What, every day? Or did they remove it from the shelves forever? I mean, I have a ton of copies of it...

George Martin later changed his mind about "Within You Without You", calling it a good track indeed.
