I don't know how well it would do but I'd love to see it make an appearance, would be one of the few Beatles songs that would 100% get a vote from me! wub.gif

NGL they have such an expansive discography that I didn’t even consider ‘Help!’ ohmy.gif but can definitely throw that into the ring as one of the round 2 choices as well with this demand. Wow, this is going to be so difficult laugh.gif

Ngl, working at HMV has made me kinda immune to The Beatles. I really don't care if I was to ever listen to them again or not lmaooo. I'm so tired of them lmao! I'M SORRY!!

But I do have some that I still enjoy ofc. Just that I feel like they're at a disadvantage with me for majority of this contest I think aha. Good luck though ofc! biggrin.gif

Not to add more stress and throw another song in the ring (rotf.gif) but 'With A Little Help From My Friends' is another good 'un to consider!? Probably no space for it though so ignore me tearsmile.gif

^ laugh.gif 8 rounds really isn't enough for them!

~

Round 01: 10 Eleanor Rigby [19 votes]

Happy with top 10 after how slow a start this song had!

Moving forward to the next round:

Round 2: FIRST OR LAST SINGLE FROM ANY ERA

I think these are all of our group options from their studio albums:

Love Me Do
Please Please Me
Can't Buy Me Love
A Hard Day's Night
Ticket to Ride
Help!
Eleanor Rigby
Yellow Submarine
Come Together
Something
Get Back
The Long and Winding Road

'Come Together', 'Something' and 'Help!' seem to be the songs with the most hype in this thread. I really like 'Ticket To Ride' too. Thoughts? thinking.gif

Ticket to Ride was a great start to their more experimental phase and I unashamedly love Yellow Submarine too, but Come Together or Something I think are definitely the best chances of success, not sure between the two thinking.gif The former's probably more well known and I prefer it narrowly but Something is one of their more tender moments. Not sure really, I'd vote for either!

'Come Together' is my favourite of the ones listed, but I like 'Help!' and 'Can't Buy Me Love' too.

HELP!

I need somebody

HELP!

Not just anybody

HELP!

You know I need someone

HELP!


...although Come Together will probably do pretty well too (would love to see Help though, my favourite Beatles song!)

'Ticket to Ride' is great but 'Help!' is my favourite of those listed. 'Come Together' is another good shout too though~

NOT 'Yellow Submarine' please as iconic as it is - everyone knows it and has heard it ad finitum and the others are much stronger songs.

Come Together is the best there.

Help is so catchy and could gain interest from the young listeners here.

Thank you for all the help! I picked the one that was just about stated as people's top choice the most. The other options can be revisited in other rounds!

~~~

ROUND 2: First OR last single from an era
'Come Together'



The double A-side of 'Come Together' and 'Something' was chosen to both open and close the 'Abbey Road' era! The former is the more upbeat side of the two. It boasts a memorable riff and John vocals taking on the nonsensical lyrics. It surprisingly 'only' made #4 for them despite being such a signature song now.

Michael Jackson would later cover it.

A good choice even if not my #1 pick. I am a lot more familiar with MJ's version (and I love that) so hopefully this picks up a point from me cool2.gif

cry.gif My thoughts exactly! laugh.gif Hopefully there's an opportunity to send it in another round somehow despite the huge discography to choose from, would really love to see it featured in here somewhere as it's my fave of theirs!

Realistically I think Come Together was the safest choice, it's more well known, it's good and it will probably do a lot better than most of the other suggestions for the round would have done.
