What do you think of this Beatles B-side, With its off, eerie harmonies?

No it isn't. I'll fix it:
Not a bad song for 1965.

The Beatles are the greatest band to ever walk the Earth... "Yes it Is" is pretty below average for them. My favorite close harmony pieces of theirs are "If I Fell" and "This Boy".

Opinion, mine is they were an average band who were well promoted and had great timing

I will never be convinced that they were an average band.

AWB were pretty awesome actually. Much better than average I must say.
I can't stand the Beatles hate. Yeah I get it they're really popular and have received many accolades. I don't need you to tell me how you think they suck because of that. |

Back to "Yes it Is", I do see some interesting dissonance in the harmony, almost like 2 of them are a major 2nd apart. So yay for that. The first RIO song??
Kidding of course. |

^ One of my favourite early Beatles songs and yes, there is something very subtlety and beautifully off kilter about the harmonies(never been able to put my finger on why)

... for an average band, but not in the case of The Beatles. This is something they could come up with in '61-'62.

I like it, though I guess it's beacuse it's one of the first songs I've heard from them (it was on a cassette of the American release Beatles VI).
