That was a great feud! Thanks as always, **Dolores,** & thanks, **Zebra**!

Wow. Not a single person put in “Across the Universe”, even though it fit into two categories (7 & 8…though I might be wrong about that). Loved that song. Mmmnm

I can try, but I’d probably screw it up… ☹

Actually, it will depend on the time crunch. If I’m trying to get it done by 4:30 before I leave work to go home, I don’t have as much time as I’d like. I generally just cut and paste from the spreadsheet, and bold the most popular answer.

I can’t believe 3 people didn’t know that Ringo sang. I think he did on every album and those are the only songs I can really sing along to because I’m a terrible singer.

Officially, anyway. In reality, it’s pure Lennon.
