    Its unjust that Pam and Mustard made it this far, riding the coattails of Bathroom Window.

    As three songs put together, personally I think it deserves to have made it this far. But if they were separate songs, they would have been long gone.

  5. "Get Back" & "Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"-
    ... note*- of which "Polythene Pam" is the truly great gem & peak... I think of the medley as also including the great (and underrated) "Sun King" too

    Also..."Because"?!?!? That's a potential finalist in my book!! An absolute peak on "Abbey Road"... truly sorry to see it gone so soon...

    DQ?: "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End"

    honorable mention: "Come Together", "Something", "Here Comes The Sun" & "You Never Give Me Your Money".

    "Because" is a thing of ethereal beauty, and George's favourite.

    Hmmm...both of my choices went out last round so it makes it more difficult to vote. No easy choices any more.

    I went with Come Together and the Mustard medley.

    Actually Mean Mr Mustard was one of my favorite songs from the album when I first got it, and..

    DQ: Come Together (spent a lot of time practicing the cymbal/hi-hat triplets way back when I was taking drum lessons).

    Don't Let Me Down (for I think the 6th time)
    I've Got A Feeling (like the mix of Paul & John, but overall just an average song)

    DQ: The End
    I also enjoy Paul's work on "The Ballad Of John & Yoko".

    Voting against "Get Back" and the "Mean Mr Mustard" medley.

    The best drumming of the Beatles' entire catalog would be on "The End," in my opinion.

    I really hope "Don't Let Me Down" doesn't get the boot this round!

    Which one?

    Both "Mean Mr. Mustard..." and "Golden Slumbers..." Should've been a little more clear on that.

    Looking like my equal favourite (with Because) Abbey Road track is almost a certainty to win. George also won 1968 - finishing the Beatles era on a high
