Sorry, Ringo. "Boys" is gone with 9 out of the 18 votes cast.

And so "Chains" becomes the next easiest one.

Agreed. It was actually my vote in Round 1, but perfectly content to vote for it again. Not an unpleasant listen, but clearly filler (and it's a cover).

That's the thing—there isn't anything off this album that I actually dislike. As a debut album from a bunch of Limeys interpreting an American form of music, it's exceptional. It's clearly rock n roll, but it's not imitative of American artists either. Beatlemania was insane spectacle, but there was real substance underneath it all.

Bummed to see Boys get bounced so early. It was something of a gender-fucking punk snarler. Ah, well. Sticking with Chains here, obviously. I suspect it'll get bounced this round.

Ok, which insaniac voted for Please Please Me?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I like all these actually but Chains just about survives to Ask Me Why here for me.

I hope someone who accidentally picked their favorite. The alternative is too horrible to comprehend this early.
