Starting to realize I feel about The Beatles the way Lebowski feels about The Eagles.

Voting for Kim Carnes.

As revolutionary to how records were recorded as they were, and your love for how art is produced, I would never have thought you would loathe the Beatles so much.

I appreciate their importance and all but outside of a very small group of songs I just can’t stand their songwriting, vocals, and general aesthetic. Does absolutely nothing for me.

I like The Beatles but not this song. Meanwhile, I do like "Bette Davis Eyes".

Two good songs. Not one of my favorite Beatles songs, but I’ll still give them my vote.

I like Bette Davis Eyes, there's probably many songs I'd vote for it over in this tournament, but definitely not I Want To Hold Your Hand.

Ditto.

It's worse knowing that people will vote for The Beatles just because they are The Beatles: The Most "Important" Band of all time.

I said this in the last round but I just listened again and my God when they sing "haaaaaaand" at the end of every verse it really makes my skin crawl. I don't know what it is

I don't care about all that mythology garbage, I just adore the Beatles in the same way I do other music.
