Greatest Beatles Song EVER: Sweet Sixteen - Page 2

I went: A Day In The Life, Help, Eight Days A Week, Here Comes The Sun, Penny Lane, Let It Be, Yesterday, Back In The USSR. These were mostly pretty straightforward choices for me, with the exception of Yesterday and Eight Days A Week.

Sad Golden Slumbers went out, but I'm cheering 'all you need is love' all the way now...

I am easily the biggest Beatles fan out of anyone I personally know, and I just don't get the love for AYNIS. It seems so half-hearted and commercialized to me.

There were some very tough calls. Most of my pics are going down in flames, but at least they are losing the OTHER Beatles songs [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Most people voting have probably never heard of the song. However, the definitely know "Let it Be."

man i missed Eleanor Rigby getting dicked in the group stage. So much for 'musical perfection' [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

2 of my top 3 continue to thrive. Rock on.

Penny Lane being in the final 16 is laughable. That it's beating Norwegian Wood and will make the final 8 makes this poll officially on LSD.

matchup 7 is so tough.

while my guitar gently weeps and yesterday unfair match-up, the lower seeds are supposed to match up with the higher

Norweigian Wood losing to Penny Lane is blasphemy

wow! I'm amazed how much Penny Lane is pwning Norwegian Wood.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people can't even remember Norwegian Wood. I chose it, but I think Penny Lane is one of the first songs people think of when they think of the Beatles, and it's not a bad song at all. I think its familiarity alone makes this one a foregone conclusion.

Hey Jude is a fat steaming turd on the lawn of the Beatles discography.

Agreed. This one is not one of their better ones, though it was one of their most popular -- kind of like Benny and the Jets was one of Elton John's worst early songs, but it was his most popular.
