10 Incredibly Successful Tracks Their Creators Actually Hate

2. The Beatles €“ "Let It Be"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcBnJw-H2wQ To be clear, not all of the Beatles hated "Let it Be"; just John Lennon. By the time the band was recording the album of the same name, Lennon and Paul McCartney were spewing consistent vitriol at one another, to the point that hating on each other's songs was probably a favored pastime in their crumbling friendship. The Beatles imploded and broke up shortly before the release of the record, and "Let it Be" was the final single released before McCartney officially announced that he would be leaving the band. Unsurprisingly, the song became a lightning rod for all of the problems that had driven the band apart in the first place. Though "Let it Be" is credited - like most other Beatles songs - to the songwriting team of Lennon and McCartney, Lennon later claimed that he had had absolutely nothing to do with the song's composition. In fact, Lennon dismissed "Let it Be" as little more than a rewrite of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," commenting in a 1980 Playboy interview that the song had "nothing to do with the Beatles" and that Paul should have saved it for a Wings album.
