I've noticed that the canon polls keep creeping back to their spiritual home of Fridays - it must be fate! Anyway today in a fit of indulgence we are doing the BEATLES, to celebrate the fact that something written by me about them is going to be in a proper book available in real actual shops later this year. You get TEN picks from the frankly motley range of Official Beatle Hits available.




[Poll #723001]

I am actually quite intrigued as to how this one will turn out!

I think this could be one of the most interesting canons, purely because everyone has different favourites.... my top picks were Back In The USSR and Day Tripper/Ticket To Ride, but clearly just looking at how even the scores are (at this early stage), this is going to be a close one.

I doubt if the last three will get many votes, mind.

Technically, should the canon not have included other Beatles-linked songs (like the Joy Division/New Order canon)? I think this poll would have been far more entertaining if it had included singles like Jet, Band On The Run, My Sweet Lord, Champagne Supernova etc.

I've never fully understood the appeal of 'Ticket to Ride'. (I don't dislike it mind)

No 'got to get you into my life'? Was that not a single? It is my favourite beatles song and one of the few later-ish ones that I really really love rather than just liking a lot.

also I totally only picked 'i feel fine' because its bside is 'she's a woman' which is my second favourite beatles song ever.

I voted for it - I think it's ace, all electric piano and descending bass lines. But then I was never one for listening to lyrics much.

i can't really separate them from being a small kid and my mum and dad young and in love and being fans --- i can remember watching news report of their break-up by myself, except the news visuals i remember going with the report are of an unpeopled fire escape, which in retrospect seems a bit unlikely

i realised with this poll, is that right now, not only are they not ubquitious, its finally okay not to like them (its not even that i hate them, i just sort of ignore them when they come on, im like well thats pleasent--i dont think i even have any of their songs on mp3 (looking again, i have two covers)

there is only ONE beatles song i can tolerate, and that is 'eleanor rigby', and i can't tick it because that would mean a tick for 'yellow submarine' which is abysmal!

I HATE THE BEATLES SO MUCH AAAARGHHHHHHHH

Wait, is "I Saw Her Standing There" not a Proper Single? Because that's one of my favorite songs of all time.

Oh right, it's the b-side to "I Want to Hold Your Hand," isn't it.

What I find interesting is that if you just looked at this poll, they really look kind of so-so. Put them head to head against Madonna, strongest to weakest, and they'd come out looking like the Candy Skins. It's only when you go deep in their catalog that the brilliance really shows.
