"Stand by Me" is interesting because it shows the frailty of Lennon's once powerful voice--it's an amazing performance of vulnerability from a guy who could belt out "Twist and Shout" and "Money" in his early days.  

Heartbreaking really.

Nobody votes for "Slow Down"?  Not the best song ever, but his vocal is killer. Pure balls.

yeah...and I think the Macca rival to this was Long Tall Sally...Paul does his version of a killer vocal here (IMO)

Where's Mr. Moonlight? Not my favorite song but John's vocals are great. Words of Love is also amazing. Is it just me?

I figured "Twist and Shout" would ace it so I voted for my next fave, "Stand By Me". When I heard each of these songs for the first time, I immediately wanted to play them again. :)

it's funny how people love Twist & Shout but Lennon always said that he thought he could do the vocal better,
because of his sore throat! obviouly it was kind of right that he had that sore throat.  :P
