Rules: Vote for your LEAST favorite song. This poll will be open for 24 hours, at which point the song with the most votes will be eliminated from the competition and the next round will be started. This process will continue until only one song remains in the 'Please Please Me' draw, and we move on to the next LP. And so on and so forth.

In the event of a tie, the tied songs will be eliminated together, UNLESS it is a tie between the final two songs in any draw, in which case the voting time will be extended.

Once again, if any of you don't have access to this LP and would like to hear the songs you don't know, tell me in this thread and I will link you up via PM to a zip file containing the whole album.

Let's up the voting for people - the more participation, the better!

I am voting to uphold the majority decision from last time.

Eleanor Rigby. One helluva song.

Why are you unhappy taht we are doing a re-do?

I didn't like all the results of the voting throughout the contest, but I'm willing to live with them. The way the cookie crumbles, you know?

If we do a re-do once, why not two, three, four times? Why not make it a best-of-seven series?

A re-do is kind of like that Survivor season when they brought a couple of players back from the dead. Fans didn't like that much. When something is voted off in Survivor, there should be finality. Your torch has been blown out. The tribe has spoken.

A lot of these results could change if redone several weeks later, based on who's around to vote.

Really, though, it doesn't matter THAT much to me -- neither Eleanor Rigby nor Tomorrow Never Knows is likely to win the overall competition.
 
There's a few other Lennon and McCartney songs here I'd rather vote for, but it has to go to Tomorrow just for being so ahead of its time.

As a composition Eleanor Rigby is definitely superior, but as a listen...gotta give credit to the total mindfuck of TNK.
 
I'm just happy Let It Be gets to retain its victory over Across the Universe! :wink:

Here, I'm going with Tomorrow Never Knows, for the reasons lazarus stated above.

:up: :yes: :applaud:
 
These results are interesting. As I stated above, my preference is still for Eleanor Rigby, but I do not believe that either of these songs have a fighting chance against the likes of Here Comes the Sun, Strawberry Fields or A Day in the Life.
