HERE IS BEATLES BAND

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

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)
