**Relatively obscure (but excellent) Beatles songs**

1. Rain
2. Tomorrow Never Knows
3. Till There Was You
4. Hey Bulldog

I think it has become better known recently, but for a long time it was obscure because it was only available on the otherwise unremarkable _Yellow Submarine_ Soundtrack album.
