I didn’t want to be the first one to ask this, but after a day I can wait no longer: does Sgt. Pepper’s include “With a Little Help from My Friends?” If so, I’ll have to edit my votes (if that’s allowed). ---

My favourite Beatle Song (well, one of many favourites) is Hey Bulldog! and it’s trying to catch up after a terrible start. Nothing wrong with TBOJAY, but this is [Hey Bulldog!!](http://youtube.com/watch?v=hGrEZH7j1bQ) (K364, trying to influence the vote) ---

Some decisions were definitely harder than others (Across the Universe vs. Free As a Bird was particularly sticky for me. ) Just my $0.02: I don’t think She Came in Through the Bathroom Window vs. Long and Winding Road was a fair matchup, since the former is not so much an individual song as a movement of a larger piece (and we all know how painful _that_ can be). Just MHO, ya unnerstand. ---
