"Take It Away" my #1. That outro! The perfect George Martin production.

Well no, I didn't vote - that's correct, but if I had, I sure as hell wouldn't have voted for David Bowie and Beach Boys tracks in a solo Beatles poll. There were so many options that it would have been difficult enough to begin with, which is one of the reasons (although absolutely not the only one) that you didn't get a ballot. If it were a McCartney only or Lennon only poll etc. it may have been a different story.

'Jenny Wren' and 'Take It Away' both fantastic McCartney songs. 'Anyway' is one of my favourites too, Brad, so glad you found a place for it on your ballot.

Remember...
Remember...
THE FIFTH...
OF NOVEMBER!

"with a little luck" and "london town" were the songs that kept climbing up my ballot. respectable showing for the former, i'm sure doc casino will be happy

Remember was my 3. So it's TOO LOW!

and I was hoping Take It Away would be higher. I remember when MTV used to play that nonstop.

I'm so glad to see 'With a Little Luck' here - I really love the way that track sounds. One thing about it that makes me chuckle a little is just how much the synth solo in the middle sounds like the theme tune to Thomas the Tank Engine, even though it predates it by a good few years.

THOMAS WAS THE FIFTH BEATLE

I didn't vote but Give Me Love would have been in my top five.

with a little luck is fantastic, the end of the synth solo always fools me into thinking that the song is ending, but then...nope!

I'd never seen these 'Wings visit the Berlin wall' pictures before

Jenny Wren is gorgeous, could see it fitting neatly on the White Album.

love isn't silly at all!

'Behind That Locked Door' is simply gorgeous.

When I wonder why Dylan never sued George for copyright infringement over "Give Me Love"'s similarity to "I Want You," I remember they were bros.

it's almost as if McCartney released way more songs than the other Beatles!
xp

This track fucking slays. I'm actually glad to see this here, and I'm fully expecting 'Why' to place too.

"Don't Worry" was my #2, such a jam

my brave face is so good, the one Flowers song where you can really hear the best aspects of Paul's and Costello's songwriting styles.

Yeah, I love those last three!

"arrow through me" is much too low

'Whatever Gets You Through The Night' is one of my least favourite Lennon singles.

and Brad OTM, 'Arrow Through Me' too low!
