My fave out of the ones you posted would be 'Penny Lane' I think but I'm not opposed to 'Help!' getting its chance after people have wanted it in previous rounds x

I said before round 2 that I'd go as far as calling it my favourite song of theirs, but I'm amazed by how many other people have been showing their support for it too! Hopefully that support translates to votes and hopefully it's a good discovery for those that aren't familiar with it

ROUND 4: Free choice
'Help!' Well... I listened to the people as promised! 'Help!' was released as the second single from the album of the same name and even had a (rather whacky) Beatles film named after it too. That impact! It became their 8th #1 in the U.K. chart. John Lennon wrote the song when feeling depressed and used it as a call for help. This is deep subject matter but it's delivered in an upbeat way as he's looking to a more positive future. |

Round 4: 07 Help! [21 votes]
Our best position yet!! Really glad it was sent for that reason and because it totally rekindled my love for the song, had not heard it in a while ~~~ Next round is 'uptempo album track' Chez suggested 'Tomorrow Never Knows' from 'Revolver' which I'd definitely be on board with but not sure how others would feel about it. Thoughts? Another option, as mentioned by Bray, is that 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' is a really popular album track of theirs nowadays. Any other suggestions welcome too ~ |

'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' would be SLAUGHTERED here!? It's a fun album introduction but as a standalone song I don't really think it would be appreciated here? Maybe I am wrong but that's my initial thought.
Baring in my mind, I have only heard a couple of their albums in full (starting from the first and moving through a few of them), my album track highlight currently is 'No Reply'

I just threw it out there as it’s apparently their second most popular album track on streaming. I feel like we’re probably going to be ‘slaughtered’ this round no matter what lol. ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is an ahead of its time game changer and that’s the one I’d feel most passionate about sending but idk if people will think it’s too weird.
‘And Your Bird Can Sing’ and ‘Taxman’ more ‘ordinary’ options from the same album. Thanks for another suggestion too. Hmm! |

If you can get a shortlist together, I will happily listen to them and offer a more informed opinion on some of the choices!

Help! did sound great when listening today, still think it's bit of a random choice for most successful, but I approve!
This round does look quite tough for them, I'm not admittedly as familiar with their non singles, but my personal picks would still be Tomorrow Never Knows or Lucy in the Sky, feel like the latter could do OK? |

Ooh I didn’t think of ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’, I guess that counts too!
Looking through all their albums I tried to narrow it down to 10: I Saw Her Standing There - very early Beatles but easily lodged in your brain All My Loving - catchy and covered by Amy Winehouse once, still a bit more early and simplistic Drive My Car - I think this is quite well known? A bit more simplistic still but very catchy Taxman - More of an evolution begins - killer riff and snappy beat, sampled in The Jam - ‘Start!’ a #1 hit And Your Bird Can Sing - a much more tender moment but still upbeat, could maybe surprise? Tomorrow Never Knows - my personal favourite <3 incredible but the psychedelic techniques could maybe put people off With a Little Help From My Friends - well known, I presume uptempo enough? Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - very druggy but memorable Hey Bulldog - underrated so good on the discovery front especially - killer riff and simple catchy chorus Back In The USSR - later representation that is pretty in your face but not in a druggy way Lost the plot bold choices: I Am The Walrus or Helter Skelter

Oh 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' would probably actually be my pick here - I kind of forgot that wasn't a single, they have so many album tracks that are basically as well-known/iconic as half of their actual singles
Either that or 'I Am The Walrus' xo |

That could be an interesting pick
I hadn’t properly considered it for this round until you and Chez brought it up but I guess it does have that iconic status and fellow participant Miley even covered it

I actually know most of those!
With a Little Help From My Friends Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds Tomorrow Never Knows ~ this is great! would be a fantastic choice given it's the highest of the ones I don't think many people would know at all  Drive My Car All My Loving I Saw Her Standing There And Your Bird Can Sing Back In The USSR Hey Bulldog Taxman I didn't realise the top 2 weren't singles  'With A Little Help From My Friends' is my personal favourite, but I also really like 'Lucy...'. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' seems like an actual album track because it hasn't broken into the mainstream Beatles consciousness, so I'd be happy with that too!
