The Beatles Ultimate Survivor Poll?
Any interest?
Polls are (sometimes) fun. They seem to generate a lot of great discussion. I enjoyed running The Clash poll last year and was trying to think of another one we could do. Love them or hate them, it seems like everyone has an opinion on the Fab Four.
British albums only, including the extra tracks collected on the Past Masters collections. George Martin Yellow Submarine tracks not included.
Thoughts?

I'd be interested as long as And Your Bird Can Sing wins.

We won’t be allies the entire time, but I’ll support you conditionally.

I WOULD FUCKING LOVE IT
Just re-read Geoff Emerick's book about recording the Beatles so I'm in the mood to revisit their catalogue.

I think you mean Tomorrow Never Knows or Strawberry Fields Forever.
But, hell yeah, I'm up for the challenge of trying to eliminate Beatles songs.

All Paul's songs and the ones Ringo sang on for starters.

I've slated them in the past but the more I listen, the more I like. I'm in.

Re: The Beatles Ultimate Survivor Poll?
Okay. We'll start tomorrow morning.
Should we do one LP at a time?
Please Please Me Side A
Please Please Me Side B
With the Beatles Side A
...and so on?
Narrow it down to the best track from each LP for the final round?

It's not that I hate McCartney, just that all my favourite ones seem to be Lennon's with few exceptions.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Oct 2020, 4:26pmYou hate McCartney?
