This choice was pretty easy to make. I've never liked Do You Want to Know a Secret. A quickly written Lennon track for Harrison to sing. George's vocal is weak and sloppy. The whole thing feels uninspired. This side is pretty strong for a debut album and this track (in my opinion) clearly lags behind the rest.

Twist and Shout?? I know this is a cover, but what a cover. Lennon's lead vocal is incredible and the whole track is raw and powerful.

Same here. If you want to change/correct your vote, go ahead.

"A Taste of Honey" is a cover and a thin one. No-brainer for me.

Agreed. I actually like the song and performance, but there's really nothing that would obviously get voted off earlier, imho.

I quite like Do You want To Know a Secret. I went with A Taste of Honey.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Love DYWTKAS, possibly my favourite on this side.

Surprised but the votes for Taste of Honey, great vocals and all in all a great listen. Went for Baby It's You, not necessarily a terrible song but again, does nothing for me at all.

I'll stand by my vote for Do You Want to Know...but A Taste of Honey was a close second. McCartney sounds too earnest and he really drags the whole song down. I won't feel bad if it gets tossed in the opening round.
