Individual Artist Poll: The Beatles

[Daniel]

If this is the poll you are referring to, the 5 options in the poll were selected by Tom Rowley, and "Long, Long, Long" received the least amount of votes. Not a big surprise that "Revolution 9" received the most votes.

It's actually the poll that the your linked article/poll made mention of. "Long, Long, Long", according to fans, apparently is the 8th worst Beatles song ("Revolution 9" is also #1). It's probably not my personal 8th worst Beatles song but I do agree with the voters that the song is boring.

The "poll" that you have linked is actually the opinion of one individual (Neil McCormick), who set out to create a track listing for a hypothetical album of the Beatles' 14 worst songs, based on his personal opinion. No polling was involved in the selection of these songs. It's also pretty evident that he's not a Harrison fan, as 5 of George's songs are represented on his list. I have yet to see an actual poll of worst/least favourite Beatles songs (where voters can choose from any of their songs, not just a select pool of 5) where "Long, Long, Long" receives many votes.

Now that I read it again, you're right. Well then, apparently, its me and Neil against the world.

We actually did something kind of similar back in 2008, a poll where you could vote to eliminate Beatles polls one after the other (well, 5 by 5 if I remember well).
Resultats are here.

Long, Long, Long ended 125th out of 211 songs, so just slightly below average.

Anyway, here is my vote :
1. Abbey Road
2. The White Album
3. Magical Mystery Tour
4. Revolver
5. Help!
6. Rubber Soul
7. A Hard Day's Night
8. Beatles for Sale
9. Sergent Pepper's
10. With the Beatles/Meet the Beatles

Funny that the 2 I like the least are the first and the last.
Top 6 are really fantastic albums. I can see why Sergent Pepper's is so beloved, but it's an album I can really admire but never enjoyed much.
Not too sure why Beatles for Sale is usually disregarded, or at least why With the Beatles is more acclaimed since I don't think either is a step forward to its predecessor.

[Live in Phoenix]

Final days of the poll...
Here are my favorites from each album:

Please Please Me: Please Please Me
With the Beatles: All My Loving
A Hard Day’s Night: A Hard Day’s Night
Beatles for Sale: No Reply
Help!: Ticket to Ride
Rubber Soul: In My Life
Revolver: Yellow Submarine
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: A Day in the Life
Magical Mystery Tour: Strawberry Fields Forever
The Beatles: Helter Skelter
Yellow Submarine: Yellow Submarine / new material: It's All Too Much
Abbey Road: Something
Let It Be: Let It Be
Non-album track: Hey Jude

Top number, John/Paul/George/Ringo: In My Life / Hey Jude / Something / Yellow Submarine

(Top solo numbers, John/Paul/George/Ringo: Imagine / Band on the Run / Run of the Mill / It Don't Come Easy.
Top solo album: John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band.
Top song about one or all of the Beatles: Bob Dylan, Roll on John.)

[BleuPanda]

As long as I haven't started posting the results, it's fine to add lists; it's just better to let me know if you're running late and plan to submit, so that I can delay the results a day or two.

As for this, I'm not sure if I'll be getting to posting the results until the weekend. I'll still put the Bob Dylan topic up today, but I still haven't even counted the results for this yet. (which means if you haven't submitted a list yet, you can still do so)

[BleuPanda]

Well, I just counted the songs results; I still need to add the information (i.e. which album it belongs to, year, AM and AMF rank, etc). I'll make one more post in here when I am finally ready to present; once that post is made, no more lists will be added. If you still want in, post soon.

[Sweepstakes Ron]

Of course, I gotta quickly throw in a song list.

1. Let It Be (favorite song of all time)
2. Something
3. Here Comes the Sun
4. Help!
5. Come Together
6. Nowhere Man
7. Ticket to Ride
8. Revolution
9. Penny Lane
10. A Hard Day's Night
11. Yesterday
12. Eleanor Rigby
13. I Am the Walrus
