For every While my Guitar Gently Weeps theres a Wild Honey Pie that just stinks the room out.

That one I can deal with, because it’s only a minute long and is clearly meant to confuse the listener, by which standard it does its job very well. I wouldn’t listen to it on purpose but I can’t usually be bothered to skip it. For some reason it reminds me more of a short cutscene in a video game than anything else.
I have more of a problem with its namesake, Honey Pie. I respect the Beatles for their understanding of British music history and their place in it, and their love for the music that represented that tradition, but I don’t need to show that respect by repeatedly listening to their take on music hall.
