The Ballad of John and Yoko is a great piece of music, when understanding the direction
Lennon was taking both musically and attitude-wise. His famous sarcasm and acid wit suddenly grew in strength after a mild period.

Get Back is a much better song though.
Its one of my favourites.
Mccartneys soft and rustic voice is amazing, with a great thumping bass line, some lovely Lennon-Guitar work, and great drumming.

The Live performances are incredible.

Get Back.

After a while, The Ballad of John and Yoko can get annoying.  Get Back is much nicer to listen to and doesn't do that with me.

It has to be GET BACK. The Ballad of J & Y is pretty boring to play along to if you happen to be a rythm guitarist or drummer that has to play it. Three chords, virtually no drum fills, and it seems to drag on a bit for me...

Get Back is one of my absolute favorite Beatles songs. The live version on the rooftop is the ultimate that is possible in terms of "Band-Coolness".[/quote]

No question about it, GET BACK! Mainly being the last concert on the rooftop, The Ballad is not far behind  ;) I can't wait for the new DVD of Let it Be and hope they added the lost Abbey Road sessions, this I heard Paul wanted, we'll see  :D

The Ballad of John and Yoko is my preference in this battle of two songs of John and Paul.  I can listen to the Ballad more than once.  I like the music and the lyrics.

I can't listen to Get Back more than once and am likely to turn it off before it finishes.  I don't like this song.

Im not keen on that song, good melody, but too self obsessed from John.

He liked to play the victim.

It's the other way around for me.  I haven't listened to a complete run-through of The Ballad of John and Yoko since it appeared on The Beatles Again LP in 1970.  I've listened to Get Back hundreds of times in its entirety.  It's still as fresh now as it was a half-century ago!

Another great thing about Get Back is that you can easily toggle between it and Get Up And Go...
