Tomorrow Never Knows. Their most amazing song, yet many people don't even include it in their top 10 beatles songs lists, much less the top 5, or top 3, which it deserves. It wasn't even on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and most of the Beatles choices in that list were pretty good!
Twist and Shout, from Please Please Me. A great song to start with but The Beatles take on it may be the best recording that was done.
I've Just Seen a Face, from Help!. A precursor to much of the stuff that would later be heralded as changing the world of music.
I love Twist and Shout! But hey, there's also the Isley Brothers'.....I like to think that, since the Isley Brothers's version has got more soul and The Beatles' more energy, so the Isley Brothers' is the "twist" version, and The Beatles' the "shout" version.

IMO Johns vocals on Twist And Shout are mind blowing unique and awesome and when you throw in Paul and George's sweet sounding backing vocals the contrast is

I may think that including Get Back, Sgt. Pepper and With a Little Help from My Friends on an underrated songs lists is somewhat changing the limits of the word underrated. Great songs no doubt but I wouldn't call them underrated. You will have to have a seriously good explanation for me to swallow that.
I have to argue against We Can Work it Out. That was the A-side of a hit single!
Let's see (I'll go chronologically):
1) There's a Place and Anna (one of their best covers)
2) This Boy
3) It Won't be Long
4) Slow Down
5) I'll be Back
6) No Reply
7) Baby's in Black
I'll Follow the Sun
9) Every Little Thing
10) I Don't Want to Spoil The Party (Beatles for Sale is not one of their best, but it has about 5-6 awesome songs)
11) I Need You
12) If I Needed Someone
13) You Won't See Me
14) Rain
15) Most of Revolver (the non-single tracks)
16) Fixing a Hole
17) Getting Better
1 Fool on the Hill
19) Baby You're a Rich Man
20) The Inner Light
21) Hey Bulldog
22) Long Long Long
23) Cry Baby Cry
24) I'm So Tired
25) Old Brown Shoe
26) Two of Us
Some of the non-Beatles fans have to be getting annoyed with all these Beatles threads.
