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!

[size=+4]Remember, VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SONG![/size]

 

[Lila64]

I protest. For now at least. I'll save my vote

 

[cobl04]

That is an absolute disgrace. I am disgusted.

There is no doubting that Blackbird is a good song, but better than Dear Prudence? No way. In the top two on the album? No way. Top three? No way. Top five? Yes.

Well I'm voting for While My Guitar Gently Weeps I guess now. In haste.

 

[Hank Bulger]

Boo!

Ah well life goes on I spose... *in need of a teeth gritting smiley*

Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Personally I think this could very well see George Harrison taking two wins in a row here.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I'm going with Blackbird. Gut level decision. Could have gone with While My Guitar Gently Weeps, as it's certainly one of my favorites. But Blackbird barely beats it out for me this evening. I think it's a tremendously well-written song.

 

[AdamsFro]

Hola everyone!

I voted fro While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Tremendous song.

Well it's in God's hands now.

 

[Lila64]

Boo!

Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Personally I think this could very well see George Harrison taking two wins in a row here.

 

[Hank Bulger]

Not bad, but I was looking for more of a teeth-together-moving-side-to-side smiley, as in that ep of the Simpsons where Marge grits her teeth wehn Homer is recording that country signers album.

 

[cobl04]

I am

The sun is up
The sky is blue
It's beautiful
And so are
D-d-d-dear Prudence...
...won't you come out to play...

Awesome guitar as well.

Also missing:
The deep you go
The higher you fly
The higher you fly
The deeper you go
So come on
Come on
Come on is such a joy
Come on is such a joy
Make it easy
Make it easy
Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey

Also awesome guitar.

 

[intedomine]

Not an easy choice. Tempted to abstain from voting. Two songs that aren't all that remarkable.

I'll go with While My Guitar Gently Weeps

 

[corianderstem]

Oops, I voted for my least favorite by mistake.

You'd think this was the first time I participated in these threads.

 

[LemonMelon]

Me is cry also.

Same here. I voted WMGGW. Then again...I don't know...maybe I do like it better. I'm not crazy about either.

 

[Bonochick]

LemonMelon and corianderstem, I can edit the results if you want your votes switched, just let me know.

 

[corianderstem]

well, it's probably not necessary, because LemonMelon and I canceled each other's mistakes out, since I accidentally voted for Blackbird.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, that's OK then.

 

[LMP]

If this were the Love version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I'd vote for it, but I think out of these two, Blackbird is better.

Yes COBL! Those are the best two songs on this album. We should have our own poll where people with good taste hang out.



I voted for Blackbird cause I abhor WMGGW because it's a stupid song about housekeeping.

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Dear Prudence Won't *tear* you *tear* come out *tear* to play!!


COBL_04 and UberBeaver








I voted for Blackbird.

 

[namkcuR]

If this were the Love version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I'd vote for it, but I think out of these two, Blackbird is better.

You don't have to vote on one specific recording of a song. The soul and essence of the song is the same in any version. The notes are the same. It's just different renditions. I wouldn't let the fact that you prefer a different recording of it sway your vote.

 

[LMP]

But what's the point of voting from album-to-album then?

I like the Past Masters cut of Across the Universe more than the Let It Be version, but when Let It Be comes up, wouldn't it make sense for me to judge it based on how it is in the album?

And both versions of WMGGW are too different for me to compare: one is "meh," the other is beautiful.

Well...as far as Across The Universe is concerned...it's only going to show up in the Let It Be draw. When I make the Past Masters draws, I will be omitting any song that also appears on one of the LPs. I can't take the chance, however slim, of a song ending up against itself in the final draw.

[cdisantis83]

I'll vote for WMGGW, if only because the version on Love is so damn beautiful. George also deserves to have at least one of his contributions in the final.

Alright, that makes sense, I wish I had known this earlier

 

[Zoots]

Blackbird. Cos it's just simple and gorgeous! I do like WMGGW but not as much as Blackbird, a song that is way better than Dear Prudence.

 

[Lila64]

 

[Zoots]

That smiley...

C'mon! Dear Prudence is nice but nothing special... so repetitive!

 

[LMP]

Is that the Val Kilmer in Top Gun smiley?

*clench!*
