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).

Obligatory favorite song that didn’t make the tourney: I’m Down

I assumed “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was track #1 on the album of the same name, and included neither “With a Little Help” nor the rockier reprise version of “Sgt. Pepper’s” near the end of the album.

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!!

First, let me say how much fun I had with this. 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.
