The Beatles

• Peter Seeley +1
• Brad Stalcup +1 — Maybe my favorite of the list.
• judd.baker +1 — This is my favorite Beatles song and is I think the best and least obvious of the Beatles submissions here
• shea nowicki +1
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Gosh the Beatles were just great. That one guitar part is so darn cool. Tragically, this is not less than 2 minutes
• fionmul 0 — Like I said, Golden Slumbers is just too good and I couldn’t help but compare the other Beatles ones
• Edward James 0 — So many Beatles potentials but this one stands out to me for being less known and also fast.

• fionmul +1 — They really came up with this and only made it 1:30 🤌🏼 Leave em wanting more ig
• Edward James +1 — Almost submitted this myself. One of the most beautiful little tunes ever written. I love the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy, because if he did die, they managed to replace him with the greatest musician/songwriter to ever live.
• Sam Ary +1

• Joseph Harvey +1 — Cute ending to a phenomenal album
• shea nowicki +1
• fionmul 0 — This isn’t even the best Beatles submission so that’s what’s tough here
• Edward James 0 — Love this, just missed a vote. Paul at his most powerful, just forcing everyone to accept his grandma music.
• judd.baker 0 — Who did you bribe at Spotify HQ to make this the last song on the playlist
• ared56 -1
• Claire -1 — I just feel like it makes sense to downvote my least favorite of the three Beatles submissions. Sorry y’all

• fionmul 0 — Idk if this is late career enough but maybe I’m just ignorant? It’s a classic but I feel like their stuff was all released so close together anyway But some others impressed me more with their creativity
• SamRobertsND -1
• shea nowicki -1
• Edward James -1 — Don’t play cute with us
• Claire -1 — Late in the active career of the band, yes, but it doesn’t have that “late in life” vibe that I’m looking for
• judd.baker -1 — The peak of a band’s (already famously short) career cannot possibly count as late career.

Spicey Riche: Best Beatles song, no question.

• shea nowicki +1
• judd.baker +1 — I adore this song. One of my favorite Beatles tracks. It’s beautiful, funny, clever, poignant, everything a narrative song could be. I think Paul McCartney succeeds at doing the Americana thing here.
• Peter Seeley 0 — Every time I hear this song , I think of an actual raccoon with a cowboy hat. It is only by the most strenuous mental effort that I dispel this image.
• Edward James 0 — It's always important to remember that all the 60s British invasion bands just wanted to be American country and blues artists. Love this song.
• fionmul 0 — Some of these are just not really enough to be a story like it’s a fragment of one. Reminds me of reading my middle school students writing assignments and also my 1st graders for that matter.
• Joseph Harvey 0 — I would think there would be far more compelling Beatles options than this. This is not all that memorable (the white album is also just kind of weird and not always in a great way)
• Brad Stalcup 0 — Rocky faced with a choice as he confronts Gideon's Bible. Will he forgive the man or not? It seems he does not, to his own demise. Loved the honky tonk feel of this one.

• Brad Stalcup +1 — "And see, you were within and I was in the external world and sought you there" Well done.
• shea nowicki +1
• Sam Ary +1
• fionmul 0 — I almost submitted God’s Plan by Drake lmao and then I found this gem. I had an inkling the Beatles had something for this category The length helps make amends for Pedro Navaja I hope
• Edward James 0 — Incredible. Deep cut choice. I don’t actually think if it’s all that well, but I wish I could reward it. Would be a great choice for songs Joseph would hate round two.
• Joseph Harvey 0 — St. Augustine would not be down for this level of eastern mysticism
• Claire 0 — Yes God is within him, but also Heaven and earth are crying out that they were made by God?

• Claire 0 — I see the read here, it just didn’t strike me as much as others
