    Are there two songs missing? 92 first round winners and 4 wild cards should give three pairings for each group all the way up to P.

    Honey Pie - not a fan of either of these, so went with the one that someone might actually sing as opposed to the "piece".

    This!

    I'm prolly speaking for me alone and it's your competition El Gato but I think a quicker pace in the next round would be better if you can manage it.:)

    Just my 2 cents, but I quite like the pace as is.;)

    I get a bit impatient but that’s mainly down to wanting the round wrapped up before people can vote another “weak” song into the next one.

    Other than that there’s no need to rush.

    I went back through the thread and the two songs that are missing are Any Time At All and Come Together.

    I Am The Walrus vs Honey Pie: Honey Pie's reign of terror of consistently knocking out vastly superior songs must end here.

    The Fool on the Hillvs All I've Got to Do: McCartney brilliance.

    She Came in Through the Bathroom Window vs Cant Buy Me Love

    Michelle vs Magical Mystery Tour:
    MMT wins out because of its weirdness

    Here Comes The Sun vs All My Loving: Of the two, I'd rather listen to AML, I like its lean brilliance, a bit surprised to see it being so resolutely looked over in this match up, even acknowledging how good HCTS is.

    Thanks a mill abff, Ive checked my main spreadsheet and cannot find them on it so I obviously missed em when tabulating.

    Remaining pairing in Group O, this will run for 24 hours as per standard rules.

    We will be down to 48 songs and 24 pairings for the next round. I was thinking 2 groups per night with 3 pairings per group so that would get the next round finished out by the end of the week. Happy to increase the numbers if people think thats a better approach.

    Through to the next round (slightly ahead of the 24 hour time limit but there are significant gaps between each pick that will not be closed in the next 15 minutes)

    I'm assuming Come Together will get through as the final song but will hold off posting the final listing of what's gone through until the formal vote happens. I've also put together a Spotify play list of all 47 currently through and will add the final one in the morning and then post a link to the play list.

    Keep it going the way you planned, the less “committee” consulting the better.
