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!
 
Don't get the Good Night hate here. :huh: I think I voted for Me and My Monkey this time. :shrug: I keep bouncing between a couple duds still on here.
 
I'm not too sure which one is gonna win this album to be honest. Probably "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" but Helter Skelter, Happiness, Sexie Sadie, and Blackbird are all formidable opponents.


I'm still rooting for Long, Long, Long though. :shh:

Good Night is fucking beautiful. One of the very best Ringo-sung Beatles songs.

Correction: THE best.

Strategic voting: ...Me and My Monkey

Never liked the monkey. :wink:
 
Yer Blues....though strategically, in an attempt to save Good Night, I probably should be voting for Me & My Monkey, but i dislike Yer Blues too much not to vote for it.
 
Well, all this Good Night discussion, I went and looked it up on Wikipedia. I didn't realize Lennon wrote it; thought it was another schlocky McCartney number. Apparently, Lennon wanted it to be a "real cheesy" lullaby for Julian.

That's why I don't like it -- because it sounds so cheesy. It's the kind of song that if my mom made us listen to it in the car, we would have moaned and groaned all the way through it. "Turn the station! Turn the station!"
 
I like Me And My Monkey, especially the guitar part near the end.

I don't mind Good Night, either.

:hmm:

Piggies for me. Never liked it.

As for the strongest song on this, I'd say it's gotta be While My Guitar Gently Weeps, although I'd go for Blackbird, too.
 
Who the hell's been voting for Me and My Monkey?!?!?! It's one of the best songs on the record!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE.....

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

This has made me vote for Bungalow Bill to level it out... and I love Ol' Bungalow Bill.
 
Bungalow Bill is bad on so many levels... I'm voting for it again!
 
:sad:

There are at least four other songs worse than it... I had to vote for it to save the Monkey! :sad:

Don't vote for the Monkey next round... :sad:....please.... :sad:

Ahem. :grumpy:

With A Little Help From My Friends, anyone? :eyebrow:

ftw... Given the choices however, there isn't much to choose from, you'd think John and Paul would have thrown Ringo a few more scraps over the years...

Looking at the results so far, I'm going with Bungalo Bill, I realize there are other songs of a lesser caliber but it's all about strategy...

Me and My Monkey is amazing. It's like one of the first alternative rock songs! How can people vote for it's outster? Don't make me lose faith in humanity again.

I lost my faith in humanity years ago, it makes life so much more enjoyable when you realize everyone else on the planet sucks... :up:

As for Monkey...

Take it eeeasssy.... Take it eeeasssy....
 
If you guys like "Long, Long, Long," you should really consider checking out The Olivia Tremor Control. Fucking good stuff.

Anyway, Bungalow Bill goes this round.

And Me and My Monkey is one of the best songs on here, so stop voting for it. :madspit:

Ahem. With A Little Help From My Friends was such an easy song for him to sing. Five whole different notes within the whole thing.
At least in Good Night Ringo holds a note for much longer...and...we'll in my opinion it's just a better melody than WALHFMF. It's a tad more mature. :wink:
