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!

[xaviMF22]

let it be

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Well, I think the voting will be pretty painful from now on, since I can't hide behind Tomorrow Never Knows anymore. <laughs>

A Hard Day's Night, even though I love it.

 

[bonocomet]

It will be extremely painful yes.

In My Life

 

[intedomine]

Blackbird....how could anyone vote for In My Life

 

[bonocomet]

It wasn't easy, but for me, it's next.

These songs have sentimental reasons attached from one person to the next as well. Blackbird for me is higher on that scale, I have no emotional attachment to In My Life. That was how.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Yesterday.

Don't let the door hit you on the

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey Jude

 

[gump]

A Hard Day's Night...

 

[cobl04]

A Hard Day's Night.

Anyone who votes for Hey Jude and Let it Be are henceforth crossed off my Christmas Card list.

And there were candy canes involved.

 

[cdisantis83]

Does it strike anyone else as slightly amusing that, after so many pontificated that "Tomorrow Never Knows" ought to be in the final, it is nevertheless one of the first to be eliminated? In any case, I vote for "A Hard Day's Night."

 

[Screwtape2]

Anyone who votes for Hey Jude and Let it Be are henceforth crossed off my Christmas Card list.

And there were candy canes involved.

I love candy canes...Let It Be.

 

[Lila64]

It will be extremely painful yes.

In My Life

How could you

I guess we're not twins anymore


Let It Be. And I'll get my own candy canes, tyvm

How can anyone vote for A Hard Day's Night (at least at this point). Are you all under 20 perhaps?

I'm wondering how anybody could vote for Blackbird! It's gonna be a few more rounds before I can knock that beauty of a song off.

This contest sure isn't making folks any friends, is it? <wink>

 

[LemonMelon]

BTW, who voted for SFF? They're DEFINITELY off not only my Christmas list, but any other holiday-related list I ever make.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

See what I'm saying? <laughs>

 

[LemonMelon]

You know who you are. REVEAL YOURSELF.

 

[XHendrix24]

A Hard Day's Night. Probably the only one of these I can't put on repeat and still enjoy.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm saddened by all the votes for A Hard Day's Night.

I voted for Blackbird. Good song, for sure. Perhaps a little overrated in my opinion.

 

[bonocomet]

How could you

I guess we're not twins anymore

 

[Zoots]

Hard Day's Night >>>>>> Let It Be

SFF is probably the greatest overall track The Beatles put out. The lyric is very personal yet has the wild imagery psychedelic-era Lennon is famous for, and it's a great example of the studio being used as an instrument. You have a string section, tape loops, speed changes, fantastic drumming by Ringo...the sound is whimsical and yet creepy at the same time, like Lewis Carroll's work. it's just a giant landmark in pop music.

Of course, it probably won't make it past the next round.

 

[lazarus]

BTW, I'm voting for Yesterday. A great song, to be sure, but it's far from my favorite, and bores me to death.

Agreed on all counts. It's my favorite song. Period. Any band. It'll probably make it to the final two or three. And A Day In The Life will probably take it all.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Strawberry Fields Forever would definitely be a worthy winner of the competition. One of my favorite songs ever.

 

[lazarus]

AFITL is a great song, there's no doubt about it, probably Top 5 Beatles or higher. But aside from the orchestra whipping itself into a frenzy, it's not really innovative enough for me to call it the best, my favorite, whatever.

I imagine that SFF is probably a little too weird to win a contest voted on by so many people, especially one that is open to casual Beatles fans as well as hardcore ones. That it has survived this long is just a testament to how great it is despite its eccentricity.
