It all comes down to this.

Sixty-four songs voted on by you, down to 32, down to 16, down to…well you can do the math.

Here we go with the championship. I was hoping for a little more diversity, but we’re left with a Lennon song VS. another Lennon song.

Vote on your favorite. Vote only once. Polls close at 10:30 pm Monday March 17 EDT.  
Help! VS. A Day in the Life

I know most people will vote for the other one, but I’m more of a fan of their power pop phase, so I’m going for

**Help!**

It maybe wouldn’t be my ultimate pick for that phase, but it’s fairly representative, and when the key moves up and John revs up that twangy scream of his going _Help me if you can I’m feeling doww-owwn…_ it is one of the greatest hooks of all time. 🆒

A Day in the Life
