Most Obscure Beatles Songs
Which Beatles songs would you consider the least known by the more "casual" fans or general population? It's sometimes difficult to remember that many people have never heard a good deal of the Beatles' output.
A few of my choices include "Old Brown Shoe" "You Know My Name" "The Inner Light" "Every Little Thing" "Dr. Robert" "Long, Long, Long", and quite a few others from the White Album--some of those, I must admit, are worth forgetting, like "Wild Honey Pie" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?"

I would have to say "It's All Too Much." That song is a gem that too many people don't know about.

I think "You like me too much" is not known by many Beatle Fans, as well as "She said She said".

Just to mention a few...
All Together Now
Misery
Chains
Ask Me Why
Little Child
Devil in her Heart
(the majority of their early songs, actually, excluding some #1 hits)
Love You To
Glass Onion
Wild Honey Pie
Old Brown Shoe
The Inner Light
I think most of the general population overlook many of their songs... it seems just the usual popular hits are played on the radio, and that's all many people know!

I've heard the albums so much in my life, it's hard to tell which songs might be considered. obscure by the casual fan. I think of songs that were not originally released like "If You've Got Trouble" or "That Means Alot" when I think of obscure songs.

YES! Just from original era releases: I Call Your Name, I Need You, You Can't Do That, Cry Baby Cry, and even (horribly undeservedly) I've Got a Feeling.
