BFS, and also With The Beatles are always underrated as "the ****ty Beatles albums" mostly because of what they're being compared to, but both are really strong albums. Most people seem to complain about the fact that they did a lot of covers in those days, but their rock 'n' roll roots are about as fun as the genre gets, and even the weaker albums have at least one masterpiece.

I like their 1963 albums, I liked Help!, but I did not like that mess.
