"Help!"

"Please Please Me"

"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"

"Rain"

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

"She Said, She Said"

"Strawberry Fields Forever"

"Here Comes the Sun"

"A Hard Day's Night"

"Ticket to Ride"

I had half a mind to start a whole new team but I only changed two slots.

Yeah, while I appreciate the support for my team, we're trying to do this in a lab without queering the data toward our pre-determined results. Vote on the songs as if you had no idea which the better band was.

If the mighty Beatles lose, everyone can get mad at me, and then I'll get him next time with "A Day in the Life," "Nowhere Man," and "Revolution."

I hear what you're saying and actually my statement there really didn't apply to this particular contest. My 6-4 is a fairly close vote.

I'll vote the songs, I'm just saying that I doubt any other band will (or should) surpass those two for the top two spots.

I promise not to skew the data.

Light My Fire was a winner and Soul Kitchen managed to play to a draw in the all-Jim vs. mostly-all-John matchup (no Paul songs, 1 George song). I think the score is about the way it should be though I thought LA Woman and Break On Through might've done better. Is Edgy going to do all-Paul next time? All George?

Here Comes the Sun is a Harrison composition.

I juggled my lineup in sensitivity to the demonstrations against my initial lineup, but my two insertions --- "Rain" and "She Said, She Said" --- were my weakest performers in this blowout.

Maybe it was the matchups.
