The Finals
"I Saw Her Standing There"
"It Won't Be Long"
"A Hard Day's Night"
"Eight Days a Week"
"Help!"
"In My Life"
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
"A Day in the Life"
"Strawberry Fields Forever"
"Happiness Is a Warm Gun"
"Hey Bulldog"
"Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" / "The End"
"Across the Universe"
"She Loves You"
"Revolution"
I need to think about how we're going to finish this up. The easiest thing would be to just throw all of the songs into 1 poll and then we'd just whittle it down.

Re: The Finals
Wow, what a great list. For me it would be very difficult to put those songs in any type of order, I think they're all top notch.
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success

Re: The Finals
My suggestion: Three batches, covering '64–'66, '67–'68, and '68–'70. The final final vote will be of three songs, one each representing early, middle, and late.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Finals
Tho looking at it, it might requiring some finessing otherwise the first period will be disproportionately large.
edit: A chronological and equalized breakdown. Holy crap but that middle section is a monster. Four legit picks for best overall.

Re: The Finals
I vote for an all-in-one deathmatch! Make people make difficult decisions!
Perhaps a poll for the best methodology would be in order...

Re: The Finals
I'd also prefer an all-in-one showdown. Could be interesting to see how songs from different periods perform against each other.

we should do a convoluted seeding process and see if we can keep this going another 6 months

Re: The Finals
If WWK adds another song and randomizes match-ups, we could bracket this shit. The misery and griping could be quite special.

Re: The Finals
More seriously, I throw my support behind all in one deathmatch. Seems like the cleanest way to vote the weakest songs off at this point.

Or, like, maybe a good song could get another chance.
