Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

I forgot to mention, I have one more bonus round lined up for Thursday where we'll vote for our favorite five Beatles songs and we'll see next Monday how they stack up next to the Survivor top 5.

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

4: Here Comes The Sun
3: A Day In The Life
2: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
1: Strawberry Fields Forever

None of these songs will feature in my top 5 in the bonus round.

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

4: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
3: Here Comes the Sun
2: Strawberry Fields Forever
1: A Day in the Life

Two Harrison songs in the Final Four - who could've predicted that?

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

I agree Harold. Wasn't expecting that at all.

I think I might actually expand the bonus round to 10 songs, like what we started with (giving two songs 5 points etc.) to get a larger list to compare.

4: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
3: Here Comes the Sun
2: Strawberry Fields Forever
1: A Day in the Life

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

"Let It Be" is out... That was also in my top 10.

4: A Day In The Life
3: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2: Strawberry Fields Forever
1: Here Comes The Sun

Thrilled that "Here Comes The Sun" made it into the Top 4. I figured it was a song that most people didn't hate, so it would do well in this format. I'm actually surprised though that "A Day In The Life" may be the winner. I thought that the people that didn't like that song so much (including me) would have voted it out earlier, much like "I Am The Walrus" was (coincidentally, also my work).

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

Well, easy choices for me :

4 Here comes the sun
3 A day in the life
2 Strawberry Fields for ever
1 While my guitar gently weeps

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

4: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
3: Strawberry Fields Forever
2: Here Comes the Sun
1: A Day in the Life

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

John, my fellow Survivor-monger, we have the same rankings on the final ballot...

4: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
3: Here Comes the Sun
2: Strawberry Fields Forever
1: A Day in the Life

Call it 2 George, 1.7 John, 0.3 Paul. That is odd--and I still think we lost George's best song back at #9.

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

And the Paul backlash continues!

4: Here Comes The Sun
3: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2: Strawberry Fields Forever
1: A Day In The Life

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

The big race here is the George-track's fight for the bronze medal!

4: A Day in the Life
3: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2: Here Comes the Sun
1: Strawberry Fields Forever

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

Nice idea John to vote for our favorites in the bonus round so we can make a comparision.

Now the final stage: 3 of these songs are in my top 5.

4 - Here Comes The Sun
3 - Whle My Guitar....
2 - A Day In The Life
1 - Strawberry Fileds Forever

That’s all, folks. It’s been an absolute pleasure for me to participate in this poll. Many many thanks, John. And, like Toni said: Go, Strawberry, go!

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

Strawberry Fields Forever
Here Comes The Sun
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
A Day In The Life

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!



"Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" were my top two picks of the songs remaining. Sad to see both of them go, even though I didn't expect either one of them to win.

My favourite of the remaining songs are actually the two Harrisongs, but I highly doubt either of them will win. I'm not that surprised that it's basically gonna come down to "A Day in the Life" and "Strawberry Fields," as they always tend to come out in the top 2-3 in fan polls. I'm gonna root for "Strawberry Fields" of those two. I don't think I've ever LOVED "A Day in the Life," but "Strawberry Fields Forever" is one of those songs that really grows on you.

Re: Beatles Survivor: Final Ballot!

Sad to have missed last week. Oh well, moving does distract you. I'm glad to see "Here Come the Sun" make it this far, though it doesn't look like it'll go much farther.
