HELLO ALL *.*
So I get to represent my favourite act of all time and with such an expansive discography too, ah! All I know is that it's probably wise to hang on to 'Yesterday', 'Here Comes The Sun' and 'Hey Jude' for as long as possible. This first round... could be literally anything else as it's 'free choice' :') I'll throw Eleanor Rigby into the ring but please hit me with any and all suggestions! ~~~ Results: Round 01 (free choice): 10 Eleanor Rigby [19 votes] Round 02 (era opener or closer): 11 Come Together [21 votes] Round 03 (album track): 09 In My Life [19 votes] Round 04 (free choice): 07 Help! [21 votes] Round 05 (uptempo album track): 10 Tomorrow Never Knows [15 votes] Round 06 (free choice): 08 Let It Be [19 votes] Round 07 (should've been a single): 04 Here Comes The Sun [23 votes] Round 08 (best of): 08 Hey Jude [21 votes] |

OMG YES George 'Something' is absolutely stunning
 I did a '1' survivor in the retro forum a couple of years ago and both that and 'Come Together' deserved so much better in it so I'm here for some kind of redemption arc.

I'm definitely here for Eleanor Rigby but would also love to see Come Together, which I think is my favourite from them!

Something quite interesting about The Beatles is that they almost always had singles as standalone releases instead of plucking options from their albums, as they wanted fresh material for the listeners. The 'Something' and 'Come Together' A-Side from 'Abbey Road' is a rare deviation from this - so both will be eligible for Round 2 - 'First OR last single from an era', thinking one of them will be a good idea to send for that one instead?
 ('Eleanor Rigby' also falls under this category too tbh lol but yeah would like that to be sent as well for 'Revolver' representation <3) |

Let It Be is my big favourite but also Hey Jude, Here Comes the Sun make up some of my faves.
I like Eleanor Rigby but don't love it so it may be touch and go for votes, but it's a nice place to start if not being used elsewhere! |

I mean Eleanor Rigby is my absolute favourite from them so I'd be more than OK with that! Plus it might indeed be wise to save Let It Be, Here Comes the Sun & Hey Jude for the later rounds x

I'd be happy with 'Eleanor Rigby' to open with but it's hard to know where to even start with their discography!
'Here Comes The Sun' would be a good fit for one of the album track rounds considering it's turned into one of their most popular songs despite never being a single ~ (and the same for 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' as well!) 'Hey Jude' is probably my fave from them as basic a choice as that is but some others that I'd possibly like to see entered aside from those already mentioned would be maybe 'Paperback Writer', 'Penny Lane', 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'All You Need Is Love' though not sure where if anywhere they'd fit best x

Hey Jude tbh. Blackbird is also a classic that I think(?) most people know even if it’s via a cover
The Beatles are interesting for me because they have a lot of good songs but not really any great songs if that makes sense. I can enjoy most of their stuff but I’m not head over heels over anything  Here Comes The Sun for album track is 100% a great idea |

ROUND 1: Free Choice
'Eleanor Rigby' 'Eleanor Rigby' is taken from the group's seventh studio album 'Revolver' (1966) and was released as a Double A-Side alongside 'Yellow Submarine'. This release became their 11th #1 hit in the U.K.! It was a decidedly less joyful Beatles single release as it tackles the theme of loneliness. Paul is on vocals here and it's very heavy on strings. ~~~ Thanks everyone for the feedback so far

Great choice, yes 'Eleanor Rigby' is probably my favourite song from them, the orchestral production is great on it.
Hoping you pick 'Penny Lane' for one of the other rounds' songs, its possibly their most nostalgic sounding song imo. This post has been edited by Coldman: 23rd February 2021, 08:39 PM |

Glad to hear that you're a fan, Snake! *.* hopefully someone actually votes for it soon
 So many songs to choose from! |

well chosen, it's one of their best songs and especially doesn't sound quite as dated as other songs of theirs because of that lovely string arrangement.

hopefully Here Comes the Sun and A Day in the Life are lined up soon and I suppose the track hinted at in your subtitle as well.

'Here Comes The Sun' is a must - I think I'm going to save that for the final album track round.
I thought 'A Day In The Life' could be an interesting contender for one of the earlier album track rounds so I'm glad someone else has mentioned that now! There are so many possibilities so I'll try and whittle it down to a semi-sensible amount when we get to that round and will need all the help I can get

This is an interesting starting point - I hope I can point but it'll be borderline I think!
Kiesza did a cover of the song for her Halloween EP last year and it actually made me really take notice of the lyrics and how... haunting they are? Aside - alongside my faves (Let It Be, Here Comes the Sun, Hey Jude) - can you also try to make room for Yesterday :'( I have been listening to them a fair bit over the past day or so and that's another beauty. There is so much to choose from, 8 rounds is not enough
