**MAKE AS MANY SELECTIONS AS YOU LIKE** As before, I’ve limited this to songs written by one of the Beatles. ---

“Rain” is my favorite on the list. ---

“Blackbird” is just lovely. ---

I could only think of one Beatles one-word song. “Honey-Pie.” Do you still sleep in the park? ---

I have very mixed feelings about _Girl_ (and did not select it). The first verse is wonderful, but the lyric starts to lose its way after that, and the middle eight is just excruciatingly awful. How come you include non-canonical songs like _Cayenn_e and _Junk_, and leave out _Revolution_?! (The version on the B-side of _Hey Jude_ has the one word title.) ---

Holy shit, I can’t believe I forgot Revolution! Ironically, that’s what would have received my vote. The entire poll is a sham. ---
