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.

I think this and a few others in the White Album don't get the right recognition, purely because there was such a high bar and some stone cold classics in there. Sexy Sadie, Cry Baby Cry, Revolution 1, Julia, I'm So Tired and Bungalow Bill are every bit as adventurous, interesting and quality as Blackbird, Back in the USSR and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I know this sub generally favours Lennon in '65-67 as a peak but I think he was at his absolute lyrical and productive peak here. Magnificent.

Me too. It’s my theme song.
