It all depends on what it's up against. In Phase I it only finished as 14th seed. So if we'd gone straight to the final it would only have scraped in. It's making a bit of a run for it now though. In fact Hey Jude, which is currently standing 2nd, wouldn't have even made it to the final if we'd had it after Phase I.

It's looking like a two horse race at the moment, which surprises me. I thought it would be a much more evenly split vote. There's a decent fight going on for worst song though.

It's not over till it's over, MMM. I have yet to play all the "worst" songs again and choose between them. I haven't found time to do that... or is it desire?  ;D

I've had a stab at guessing what you're going to choose as your best 3. Can't wait to see if I'm right. I got Mean Mr. Mustard down to a tee. Every one of them!

Have you been pretty spot-on for predicting favorites? You're certainly seeing a detailed view of people's likes.

I haven't tried much, but I've been getting pretty good at predicting Bobber's choices, and I did pretty well with your Past Masters selections. You'll probably now choose three songs that will totally dumbfound me!

My two actual favs aren't even on the list. They're Don't Let Me Down and Dig a Pony

Best:
1.In My Life
2.I Feel Fine
3.Something ( I think this song is underrated cuz we've heard so much and for me it lost its feeling for a while but it's great)

Very Surprising to Find Anna on this list.
1. Little Child

I thought 14 was better than 12. And it is a bit of a Beatles number, there being 14 songs on a lot of their albums.

Cheers Tony. I'm glad it's nearly over!! Are you having another round after these 4 song groups you're doing?

Btw, anyone expecting the result at 12 noon GMT on Sunday may be a little disappointed. I'm going to be out pretty late Saturday, so the likelyhood of me being up in time to sort everything out is, how should I say...zero! Late afternoon, I should say.

I stopped voting when you did the one for the White Album, I think you should have presented it as the complete 30 song album as it is and asked to choose 6 favorites and the corresponding amount for the least favorites, rather than giving the choice of 3 from each disc. Don't matter, anyways...

1. Strawberry Fields Forever
2. Hey Jude
3. In My Life

1. That german sh*t
2. Little Child
3. Maxwell's Silver Hammer
