Second, <em><b>you can not choose &#8220;Rain.&#8221;<\/b><\/em> As arguably the most famous least famous Beatles song, it is my firm belief that &#8220;Rain&#8221; has so thoroughly acquired a reputation as the most underrated Beatles song over the years that it is no longer <i>truly<\/i> underrated. Protest if you want, but any running and head-hiding will not change the fact that &#8220;Rain&#8221; is off the board for this discussion.<\/p>\n<p>As always, you are encouraged to show your work on Rock Town Hall, so please explain why you think your particular nomination qualfies as the most underrated song in the Beatles&#8217; catalog.
