[QUOTE=Happy Lendervedder] I was hoping for a little more diversity, but we’re left with a Lennon song VS. another Lennon song. [/QUOTE] A Day in the Life (it’s got a McCartney bit in the middle!) ---

_A Day in the Life_ – the 2nd best Beatles song ever. Their _actual_ best song ever, _Revolution_, was unfairly knocked off early on…grumble grumble… ---

In spite of the overwhelming peer pressure, I’ve got to cast my ballot for **Help!** ---

Another vote for Help! here. I’ve got a thing for Ringo, and had many fun imaginary adventures with him while watching the movie when I was little. ---

Help! And I have to say, I got my Srgt. Pepper’s Album out the other day and gave A Day in the Life a listen…and I think it blows. I’m sorry, but it does. I don’t see the appeal at all. ---

There’s nothing wrong with Help! It’s a fun song. Just not the best, so add my vote to the throng: A Day in the Life. ---

Help! Though honestly I’d vote for anything that wasn’t A Day In The Life right now. ---

Interesting. I had no idea this tournament was going on. I love me some Beatles songs, but I’m absolutely in no way knowledgeable about them at all. I just listen to the 4 CDs worth of their greatest hits (the 2 blue and 2 red CDs, you probably know what I’m talking about) over and over again. And neither **Help** nor **A Day in the Life** would be anywhere near my top 5 or even 10 Beatles songs. So… can someone explain either of their appeal? I mean, they’re nice enough and all, but what puts them over the top? ---

Well. I love them both. I will pick A Day in the Life. However, my favorite songs were eliminated very early or didn’t make the list so…make of it what you will. ---

A Day in the Life is an exceptional song and deserves all the praise it gets. But if you were asking me which song I’d rather listen to or play… I vote for **Help!** I wish I’d gotten into this thing earlier. I think my personal favorite would be Dear Prudence. ---
