Given that I thought the Beatles would run away with this, the results are still very surprising.

In the sense that She Loves You pulverises the DC5 song in every department.

It certainly doesn't beat DC5 in the category of garage rock aesthetics. As I mentioned before, if DC5 had been a band that recorded only a few songs and then disappeared, "AWYWI" would have been on Nuggets and held up as a forgotten gem.

Well yeah, but that wasn't a caveat in the original poll question. The fact that She Loves You is the biggest selling single of the 60s in the UK, in that decade of incredible singles, puts it on another level in all comparable departments. And I know sales aren't a barometer of quality, but c'mon man, it is the biggest selling fucking Beatles single of all time!

You don't really have to persuade me. It's peak Beatlemania stuff to the point where "yeah yeah yeah" immediately triggers "Beatles." It's top-notch rock n roll. It ain't a crime that "AWYWI" isn't as good … but it's still a really fucking good song.

Given that board membership's tastes skew toward the amateur, noisy side of music, perhaps it's not so insane.

The lack of interest in all my Alan Parson Project threads says otherwise. :angry:

As usual, I am with Heston. 🤝

Any Way You Want It is a great tune, but She Loves You is a monster of charisma, musicality and stomping rock and roll energy. It's like Godzilla vs. your accountant.

All kinds of vote shifting going on. It's been tied, Beatles have been up by 2, DC5 have been up by 2. The work of the same Swans/KISS poll prankster?
