All You Need Is Love was eliminated last round.

Guys, I need your input for something. This draw is nearing its end, and the next record is the White Album. This will be a monstrous draw. There are thirty songs over two discs on the White album, and I need to know how you all want to do it. My preference is to have one thirty song draw. I don't want to have separate draws for each disc because than the White Album would get two representatives in the Final Draw while all the other records get only one. That's not fair. I know that some of you might find it too difficult to pick 'least favorite' songs from a thirty song draw, so what could happen is that we could do separate draws for each disc, and then have the two winners go up against each other in an intermediate round, with the winner of THAT going to the Final Draw. So I guess the options are: A.One thirty song draw, B.Two separate draws with the winners going up against each other for a slot in the Final Draw, or C.Two separate draws with both winners going to the Final Draw. Thoughts? Please respond to this.

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 say do one 30 song draw. Lot easier and Interference gives you 30 options for polls anyway. It's perfect.
 
It wouldn't be all that unfair to have two representatives from The White Album, and to do the two discs as separate draws. Indeed, the sheer fact that there are so many tracks on the album makes it worthy of having two representatives.

Either way, I'm not fussed....in fact the idea of how the 30 song draw might pan out is of great intrigue.

I know who I'd be voting for first round...Yer Blues :down:

My vote this round went to...Penny Lane...
 
Penny Lane for this round. As for the White Album, it is possible that, in a single 30 draw round, a very strong candidate could be eliminated as a result of the numerous contenders. It seems as though two rounds may be more fair. In an unrelated matter, are the two volumes of Past Masters going to be included in the competition?
 
Penny Lane. Damn near killed me to vote it off. Brilliant song.

White Album? I say don't make it any different than what we've been doing so far. Put all the songs together, and let the chips fall where they may.
 
Penny Lane is very pretty but HAS to lose when pitted against the other 2, sorry U2Man. This was an insanely tough choice!

Walrus better win next round or else hell's fury will come into B&C! :mad:


:wink:

you are just voting strategically, because you know penny would bite strawberry field's ass in the final.
 
I Am The Walrus. I'd love for SFF and Penny Lane to be the last two here.

Also, don't know if it's been mentioned, but the Yellow Submarine album should be part of these polls, if only for the four new Beatles songs that appeared on it.

That way, we'd have Hey Bulldog. :wink:

Not at all. In fact I get the feeling Strawberry Fields will win the final despite Walrus being the more interesting song (I think). :(
 
Penny Lane :shrug: tough decision

for the White Album, I say do 2 rounds. It wouldnt take as long (well I guess it kinda would) but it wouldn't take as long to decide which your favorite was and go through the whole list. So I say 2 rounds.
 
I Am the Walrus

It's a great song, but I have to be in the mood to listen to it. I can listen to Penny Lane whenever.
 
I am the Walrus has to go. Penny Lane is great on so many levels!
 
Either two rounds for The White Album with the winners facing off or one round with all 30 songs going head-to-head. I agree that it's not fair for that one album (although it's a double) to get two songs in the final round.
