Revolution 9

Probably the most universally reviled Beatles song ever, and not without reason. Those backwards-tape experiments ("Rain," "Tomorrow Never Knows") that were so successful, and which made everyone say "This could have been a disaster if done wrong," obviously made John Lennon go over the top in his supposed aural depiction of a revolution. Among other justifiable criticisms of the song: It's unlikely that anyone's revolution will end with a soccer-game crowd yelling "Block that kick!" Not without some individual interesting moments, but proceed at your own risk.
