   With a band like The Beatles - that spanned so many years and   
   different styles - it would be impractical to expect every song to be   
   equal. Clearly they all wrote songs that were great and they all   
   wrote songs that were not so great... plus they all wrote songs that   
   sat somewhere in between. So nobody should expect every Beatles song   
   to be equally good.
