The Beatles: 14 Most Under-Appreciated Songs
1. One After 909 (Let It Be)
To describe this song as a hot mess would be unfair, as the absolute cacophony that is One After 909 has an unappreciated charm to it.
It's clear that someone told Ringo Starr to just let loose on the drums and do what he wanted. Harrison's lead guitar is bluesy and unrestrained and Billy Preston's work on the electric piano speaks for itself. Lennon and McCartney shared vocals and clearly said "Screw it, let's just have fun with this one."
A fun fact is that this song was actually written by Lennon long before The Beatles were an established group and the band actually recorded it in 1963, only for it to be tossed aside in favor of other work. Given how the Let It Be album was released one month after The Beatles split up, it's heartwarming to know that One After 909 got its due recognition, even if it took a back seat to songs including the album's title track and Get Back.
