Final Round 8
Thank god the end is in sight...I'm running out of steam on this poll

Re: Final Round 8
Harder and harder, but I voted "Tomorrow Never Knows" off. It's definitely a new direction for the band at that time, but for my ears, it's not something I want to hear over and over again like some of their others.

It will be next for me, then Revolution, but for now I'm sticking with Warm Gun.

Re: Final Round 8
Sigh. We are officially in the Sophie's Choice part of the game, where all votes pretty much suck. I picked A Hard Day's Night only because, shit, I dunno. I prefer mid and late period Beatles to early, and I dig SLY more than AHDN.

About time to turn on my inner Heston in reverse and start voting off SFF, which is ok, but needs to be taken down a peg by you fucking nerds.

Everyone needs to crucify their inner Heston lest it become an outer Heston.

Re: Final Round 8
i might start voting strategically here to protect some upper echelon songs in my book.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Changing my vote to Tomorrow Never Knows, had it and Revolution on earlier and it's just not my bag.

Re: Final Round 8
Four votes for In My Life to one for Happiness is a Warm Gun? Really? I mean really?

Re: Final Round 8
I'll say this: your hectoring against this song has led me to return to it in the past week, and I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have. It's a fantastic preview of Lennon moving away from stereotypical Beatlesque songs to stuff that is odder in construction and performance. It's like the best of his early post-Beatles records.
(That said, I appreciate more the sincerity of In My Life, but at this point in the game it really is to each their own.)

EDIT: That being said, there's no reason to vote for "In My Life" when you can knock off a presumptive winner that presumes a little too much in my opinion...
