The Beatles released hit songs, and the members loved all of them except for one track.

On Sep. 26, 1969, The Beatles recorded its final album before its disbandment. The album received certifications in different countries, including Diamond on Canada's Music Canada, 3x Platinum on Australia's ARIA, and 12x Platinum on US's RIAA.

Despite the milestones, one of the tracks did not impress the members.

As reported by Express UK, three out of four members did not enjoy the song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison reportedly refused to include it, but Paul McCartney pushed it and left the band furious.

"The worst session ever was Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It was the worst track we ever had to record. It went on for f****ng weeks," Starr said, as Lennon told Playboy, "I hated it. All I remember is the track - he made us do it a hundred million times."


The late "Imagine" singer called out the song even more. He said that the song should never had been made a single, but McCartney did everything to make it one. Lennon also revealed that they spent more money on that song than any other tracks in the album.

Meanwhile, Harrison - despite being known as the quietest member - shared his opinion about the song and called it "fruity."

Despite the other members' opinion, McCartney insisted that it was the best radio play he ever made in his life.

He added that the track's song was the best, adding that it was "a sensation."

Still, he admitted he was not happy with how the song turned out. After its release, the song changed the meaning of his life as it seemingly was connected to his marriage issues and The Beatles' split.

Aside from its last recorded album, The Beatles also hit a glitch while recording its first single, "Love Me Do."

In 1962, the band recorded a single that the members hoped to be their first hit. "How Do You Do It," which was produced by George Martin. It was a song written by Mitch Murray, a young musician, but they thought the track was too light and too white.

The band then recorded other songs, including "Love Me Do" and P.S. I Love You." Although Martin wanted to push "How Do You Do It," he was left frustrated as no one was taking it seriously and chose "Love Me Do" instead.
