I just realized, a final of A Day in the Life vs Hey Jude is just about perfect. Those are generally named as the two greatest Beatles songs, after all.
The Beatles Survivor 2014: Results - A Day In the Life Wins!
- Thread starter Mosh
- Start date
I figured it'd be A Day In the Life as a finalist, it's competitor was more of a tossup. But yes Hey Jude seems the most fitting.
I'm actually relieved that Walrus is out. Sometimes I'd consider that my favorite Beatles song, but I don't know if I could pick that over A Day In the Life. I love Hey Jude, but this final will be a much easier choice for me.
Update coming in about 30 minutes.

I didn't vote in this (well, maybe one round), but I'm glad Day In The Life got it from Hey Jude, I've never been a fan of the latter.
Cool to see some love for And Your Bird Can Sing. Was hoping that one would go further, especially on a Maiden forum. Those twin guitar melodies!

Great survivor, thanks for hosting Mosh!
Top 10 is pretty good even if I still don't see why Revolution is so high yet alone IN the top 10 in the first place. Just an average Beatles track IMO.

I only came in at the end myself. My favorite got to #2, no complaints. Thanks Mosh!
