Many fans expressed their displeasure, with some believing that the lyrics were lacking, while others just felt that they could not connect with the music. Even Nevertheless, several bands, notably the Beatles, continued to produce heavy tunes, leaving a legacy. This heritage has inspired innumerable bands and musicians to continue making new heavy music even today. Which Beatles song do you think could pass for a hard tune?

How could Revolution not be on this list? Me and my Monkey. She's so Heavy.

[johnmccabe]

Maybe I don't understand the definition of heavy music, but I would have said stuff like; Rain, Revolution, She's so Heavy, I've got a feeling, Don't Let me down.

[nrusso]

I would add "I Dig a Pony" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" to your list.

[BeatlesTranscriber]

You missed Revolution, Glass Onion, She’s So Heavy, Except for Me and My Monkey, I’ve Got a Feeling, Paperback Writer, I am the Walrus etc

[fougee]

"Norwegian Wood" was heavy stuff. George Harrison introducing the sitar
to the world in freaking 1965. The Beatles were and still are the best ever.

[robertcooney]

Revolution, I Want You, uh... My Guitar Gently Weeps with the decending main riff.

[jasontaverner]

How on earth can you leave off "I want you (She's so heavy)"?

[bernie]

In my opinion "Tomorrow Never Knows", is the heaviest Beatles ever. The lyrics and musical arrangement, make that song pretty freakin' heavy!

[jasontaverner]

Also, what about "It's All Too Much", with that distorted guitar intro, and that thick Wall of Mud production throughout.

[andrewswift]

I honestly don't know how you can consider songs like Happiness is a Warm Gun and Help! while ignoring Revolution and Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey but that's what makes videos like this fun.

Thanks for your channel, I appreciate the work you're doing.

[boneappletea]

She's so HEAVY
Yer Blues
Revolution
Why don't we do it in the Road?
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my Monkey
One after 909?
Birthday

[zooterjr]

Good list overall, but I would have definitely put Revolution and Paperback Writer in there somewhere. Nice work!

[tinotica]

I would’ve put Birthday, Revolution, Oh Darling, and Yer Blues on this list

[maximobenatti]

No one like them has been able to draw on all the musical styles that existed at that time and transform them into what is current music.

[davidlockett]

"Helter Skelter easily top's this list of the 10 heaviest Beatle songs - THERE'S ONLY 8???

[coleparker]

I would have added Yer Blues, Revolution, I want you, Glass Onion, and couple of others.

[chrishoff]

It’s All Too Much, Tomorrow Never Knows, Savoy Truffle, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), I Me Mine, Come Together, Yer Blues, Cry Baby Cry, I’m So Tired, Everybody’s Got Something to Hide (Except For Me and My Monkey), Back in the U.S.S.R.

[anasburhan]

You surprise me every time! Best Beatles-channel ever!

[ScarletVoodoo]

I assume omitting I Want You (She's So Heavy) was deliberately to piss us off.

[josettekey]

I WAnt you (She's so Heav) was the heaviest song they did. I don't see how Ticket to Ride got in there
