10 Pop Songs That Artists Want You To Forget

After years of being known as the world's greatest band, The Beatles had one of the nastiest critics following them...and his name was John Lennon. Although he helped create some of the greatest songs that the Fab Four would ever write, he has never minced his words when he thought that something was garbage, especially at the expense of his bandmate Paul McCartney. And while he might have been on a creative hot streak after Sgt. Peppers, there's something about Hello Goodbye that made John's blood boil.

Compared to the kind of outlandish stuff that they were making at the time, this is about as pure pop as McCartney would ever get, with a simple structure that was designed to show someone how to write a song. These were the kind of songs that the Beatles could write in their sleep, and Paul certainly has a way with melody on this song, getting more and more chipper as the song plays out.

The real reason why John hates this song is probably because of missed potential. On the flipside of this single, you had I Am The Walrus, which has become known as one of the more outlandish songs that the band would ever make, creating a sense of controlled chaos that left people's mouths on the floor. Hearing that song within the context of the mid '60s would have made audiences go insane, but as for the singles charts, we just had to settle with the safe song that you've heard a thousand times.
