    Get Back and Here Comes The Sun are my favourites. Watch them get drawn together in the next round. Also really like Magical Mystery Tour

    Is that the only Beatles song where all four have lead vocals?

    Is Paul not singing lead on that?

    The Sgt. Peppers reprise has all of them singing together.

    He has more lead vocals on it, but, if you listen to it, each of them has some lead vocals. Ringo's bit is the opening bit "I've Got an Invitation to Make a Reservation". George's bit is "Got everything you need, satisfaction guaranteed".
    John's comes later after Paul's repeat of the opening verse.

    But not individually, which is what I am referring to.

    I don’t think that’s Ringo singing and that other line is John’s. I’m open to correction but that’s my understanding from listening to the song.

    Octopus's Garden Vs Her Majesty: Octopus's Garden is too charming to resist.

    I Want To Hold Your Hand vs She's Leaving Home: I Want To Hold Your Hand is still totally undeniable.

    What Goes On vs Blackbird - Blackbird is one of McCartney's best.

    Little Child vs Yellow Submarine - I like the attitude of Little Child, but it's not as memorable as Yellow Submarine.

    Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)     vs I Wanna Be Your Man

    I found a couple of those very tough. I’m rapidly running out of wild cards.

    I have just been reading up about the Magical Mystery Tour song. It seems that Paul and John shared lead vocals. The sounds of some of the vocals were changed at the studio and that's why I thought it was Ringo and George, when it fact it was John and Paul. Incidentally, it is John that sings quite a bit at the end. George does provide harmony vocals, as does John.

    Eight Days a Week - the only easy decision in this group
    Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! - I've no doubt Yesterday will win, but this one doesn't deserve to be whitewashed.
    Lovely Rita - until now, for some reason, I always thought the lyric was "Lovely Rita, Rita May.. ", so now the story makes more sense.. I like the brave premise of the other song though.

    The first match is the toughest of these two rounds. The Night Before is a personal favourite of mine.

    You Never Give Me Your Money vs Eight Days a Week

    Kurt Cobain covered And I Love Her on his own, it was released six years ago or so. Great track.

    I love the melancholic opening of You Never Give Me Your Money but it is then ruined by the rest of the song which is a total contrast. Wasted potential in my view and it's up against a catchy number here.

    I read the biography of John Lennon and it was mentioned that he was really embarrassed by Run For Your Life in later life and virtually gave up playing it. A lively singalong nevertheless.

    I'm disappointed Little Child was knocked out; a personal fave and a vastly superior song to Yellow Submarine in my book, which is like a novelty kid's song to my ears.
