    I'm opening three simultaneous polls in order to choose those songs that are likely to be in each personal Top 20 Beatles songs list. The pre-selection of songs corresponds to the resulting tracklist from a previous poll series for the creation of a Beatles compilation. The objective is to obtain a list including the 20 most voted songs from the three polls. The polls will be open for 1 week.

    NOTE: You don't need to choose a total amount of 20 songs from the polls, since some of your actual Top 20 Beatles songs may not be present in the lists.

    The other two polls:
    POLL: Top 20 Beatles songs (1/3)
    POLL: Top 20 Beatles songs (3/3)

    This list does a better job of capturing my favorites than the previous list of 20. I would have added "For No One"

    That's 13 more, on top of the seven I voted for in the first poll. That doesn't leave much room for the third poll, does it?

    Edit: added Norwegian Wood and A Day in the Life on double-checking. Already up to 20. That doesn't leave ANY room

    Also non poll tracks I list highly.... I thought i was the only one, especially with regard to the latter, one that seems almost universally dismissed.

    Or it is the best period of the band, I guess.

    "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Penny Lane", "A Day In The Life" and "I Am The Walrus" are the most voted songs in this poll and they'll surely enter into the final Top 20 list.

    For me, these are a notch above the others:

    We Can Work It Out
    Norwegian Wood
    Nowhere Man
    In My Life
    Paperback Writer
    Rain
    Penny Lane
    Hello, Goodbye

    I prefer the era covered by the third poll, but this one has some great songs as well. I used to rate the Sgt. Pepper's album much more highly than I do these days, for me it just doesn't hold up as well to repeated listening as Rubber Soul, Revolver, The White Album and Abbey Road.
