June 1, 2007 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. That means it's been a full 60 years since the most famous NCO this side of Sgt. Slaughter "taught the band to play." In keeping with that sexagenarian spirit, starting the first of June, this site will be home to Beatles Beatdown, a March Madness-style donnybrook pitting your favorite Beatles songs against each other until one remains victorious at the toppermost of the poppermost. In short, there will be no working it out.
Now's your chance to make sure the tunes you cherish the most make it into the When I'm 64 Fracas. Send an email to beatlesbeatdown@gmail.com by May 30 ranking your picks for the Beatdown ranked from 1 to 64. Then check back here on the first of June to vote on which ones make it through to the next round.
Vote early and vote often. Otherwise "And Your Bird Can Sing" might be stuck on the outside looking in and nobody wants that.
A list of every song written and recorded by the Beatles can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Beatles_songs
Enjoy!
