Not necessarily the best, but just the most badass (however you define that).

Revolution has the sickest opening riff, but overall I'd say While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I want to say it was "I Want To Hold Your Hand" because (at the time when it was released, 1963) it was very sexually explicit.  |

Revolution has the sickest opening riff, but overall I'd say While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Everyone has given solid answers, but man I can’t argue with this at all. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of the most incredible, powerful, beautiful songs ever recorded with a nice little assist from Eric Clapton. It’s not only easily one of my favourite Beatles songs, but one of my favourite songs period. The older I get, the more I appreciate George Harrison’s music and this was the first one that really demanded that you respect his skills as on par, if not better, then John and Paul’s. So much love for this song |

Rocky Raccoon comes off badass to me, but the answers probably “come together”.

So much love for this song I agree with everything you said. It is absolutely in the discussion for best Beatles song. But to me badass translates to heavy, which is why my answer is what it is. |

I respect that. My initial reaction was Helter Skelter as well, but then I realised I really don’t care for it that much. Then the first response was While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and I was like yeah, I can totally buy into why that’s a badass song. I also considered I Am The Walrus for how insane it is, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer because of the violent story juxtaposed over the upbeat old timey style music, and A Day In the Life for being flat out f***ing awesome |

I can only wonder what they would have done if they had stuck together, or if John hadn't been killed and they reunited at some point. Whole genres of music that they could have tapped into that didn't exist when they were together. Snythy 80s stuff? Hip hop crossovers? Beatles ska album? |

Paperback Writer. It's a Beatles song that you can actually rock the f*** out to.

Most of the candidates have already been mention. But I’d throw Happiness is a Warm Gun in the mix.

I Want You (She's So Heavy) is, imo, the most bad-ass over all.
- It's nearly 8 minutes.
- It has barely any lyrics, because screw being wordy; he just wants her
- The vocals get more intense as the song goes on
- There's a heavy outro that builds and is all doom and gloomy
- Out of basically nowhere the song just... stops.
- It's the song that closes out side A, and side B starts Here Comes The Sun, which couldn't be more different if it tried, which accentuates how awesome and dark I Want You is even more.
Everything about the song is completely bad-ass, imo.
