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!
 
Rocky Raccoon.

I can't bring myself to vote for Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. It's way too fun dancing around in a modified polka to it. :wink:
 
Revolution 1. I like the uptempo version much better.

It's getting really hard to pick -- I have a handful of favorites, and the rest are all very good, but from that pack it's hard to say one is much better than another.
 
Glass Onion needs to die. It's the most gimmicky thing I've ever heard. It's like a Beatles clip show.

I voted for Birthday cause I think that's a stupid song.

Not to worry, that one is fast approaching the chopping block as well...

Well he did tell you about Strawberry Fields... Apparently you weren't listening! :tsk:
 
I love Piggies and it's gone. I love Martha My Dear and it's already getting votes. :sigh: I think only the serious Lennon stuff will remain at the end. All the fun McCartney stuff will disappear. That's my prediction. :wink:

It's that Lennon bias on Interference, I tell ya.

:grumpy:

Hey, I can't help it if Lennon's songs are... better. :wink:

Seriously though, while I'm not a big fan of McCartney, his work got much better on the later albums, the same goes for Harrison.

For the White Album, I would hope that it would come down to Blackbird vs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I keep going back and forth on this, I’m leaning towards Guitar only because Harrison needs some representation in the finals.

For Let it Be, the title track to me seems like the clear winner and for Abbey Road, I wouldn’t be surprised if Here Comes The Sun wins.

So that would make the winners from each round:

Twist And Shout - Lennon
All My Loving - McCartney
A Hard Day's Night - Lennon
Yesterday - McCartney
In My Life - Lennon
Eleanor Rigby - McCartney
A Day In The Life - Lennon
Strawberry Fields Forever - Lennon
*While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Harrison
*Let It Be - McCartney
*Here Comes The Sun - Harrison

So this makes the totals; 5 for Lennon, 4 for McCartney and 2 for Harrison.

I don’t know if that’s so bad, but then again I am slightly Lennon-biased… :wink:
