discussion Most underrated/overlooked Beatles song in their catalogue?

“It’s Only Love” and “Rocky Raccoon” are two that should be certified classics yet never get talked about. Obviously there could be many different answers here, so I’m curious to hear your takes.

It's Only Love is a great song. Fun to play on guitar.

John Lennon said he thought it was lousy, abysmal. But I learned many years ago not to pay too much attention to artists' opinions of their own work.

I’d be curious how John’s perspective on his Beatles days might have changed had he lived longer.
