I won't be doing it anyway. For a supposed fans forum this place really sucks. Maybe you should rename it Beatles Love-In. If I could delate my account I would.

Even my grandchildren ages (10 to 28) understand the importance of the Beatles' music.
Yep, it's called brainwashing.
And...
Queen. Tears For Fears. The Lovin' Spoonful, fuck me- who writes this stuff.
Proof if ever was needed that these people really are deluded.
And weirder still that I come here for my love of Genesis and end up being expected to defend The Beatles!

What bands have been influenced by The Beatles 'cos I can't think of any. Over-hyped, yes they fit the tag, as well as 'kajillions' liking them there are plenty of us that just don't get it - much ado about nothing springs to mind.

I have compiled sixteen ties, each with three songs but one with four.
That extra song is Looking For Someone, perhaps I can discount it as a promo only 7"?
Should I just add each tie here in this section and how best can this get noticed to get the majority of people involved?
-
I admire your nerve but I don't think you can include all the tracks from the EPs! By that token you could include all the b-sides.
Fair point. So it will be the list as above but without each song from the EP's just Spot The Pigeon and 3 x 3 as sole contenders!
This way I still get Paperlate in twice.
I want this to be as concise as possible and to appeal to all once it gets going and it should be something of interest and generate a bit more forum activity!
Er... stand by for the cup draw....
although I think perhaps more exciting to just announce each tie rather than blurt the draw out in one go, huh?

Also, what about the Spot The Pigeon EP? I could include each song in the competition rather than just the option of being able to vote for the EP as a whole?
-
I may be able to construct a format where a few of the ties have three tracks so that the last sixteen ties are head to heads and so on.
I'm not sure there is anything left that has been left out but if something does arise, a song could easily be added to one of those few three-track ties.
-
A quick check suggests I am mistaken certainly regarding UK releases, though in checking it looks like another UK one for the list is The Carpet Crawlers 1999.
So we include both Carpet Crawlers releases? Although at this stage in an attempt to reach 64 I'll take almost anything.

The above helped me locate Keep It Dark (possible though that I missed it first time round)
although it also lists Home By The Sea so I need to know if that ought to be included. I'm not finding If That's What You Need as a single release? 
Found Congo and so will add also Never A Time, Shipwrecked and Home By The Sea, I make the entries list currently at 46.

Yeah to do this I agree either focus on one territory or include them all, globally (far east, mainland Europe, etc - might they have different releases?).
The UK list should also include Keep It Dark, Congo and If That's What You Need.
Much obliged. This is why on projects like these you have to get things absolutely spot on and I am all up for an education.
So please enlighten me on these three releases; Keep It Dark, Congo and If That's What You Need (which I love and would like to include).
I have worked only from the UK and USA catalogue so would like to know where they were released.
If we were to go globally inclusive of Europe it may be possible to have a starting point of 64 entries.
I would then use a randomiser to do the draw and the ties can then be ongoing with perhaps a rate of two per week?

Hello all, throwing this idea open for ideas / suggestions / critique as I was listening earlier to A Twilight Alehouse gave me the thought of how many singles the band had done, seeing as the aforementioned was one of a few flexi discs released.
I perused the UK and USA catalogues thus and the figure was 40+ and so for a cup format I would have to prune a few numbers from the following list:
The Silent Sun - Decca - 1968
A Winter's Tale - Decca - 1968
Where The Sour Turns To Sweet - Decca - 1969
Looking For Someone - Charisma - 1970
The Knife - Charisma - 1971
Happy The Man - Charisma - 1972
Watcher Of The Skies - Charisma USA - 1973
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - Charisma - 1974
Counting Out Time - Charisma - 1974
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Atco USA -1974
The Carpet Crawlers - Charisma - 1975
A Trick Of The Tail - Charisma - 1976
Ripples - Atco USA - 1976
Your Own Special Way - Charisma - 1977
Follow You Follow Me - Charisma - 1978
Go West Young Man (In The Motherlode) - Atlantic USA - 1978
Many Too Many - Charisma - 1978
Turn It On Again - Charisma - 1980
Duchess - Charisma - 1980
Spot The Pigeon EP - Charisma - 1977
Misunderstanding - Charisma - 1980
Abacab - Charisma - 1981
No Reply At All - Atlantic USA - 1981
Man On The Corner - Charisma - 1982
Paperlate - Atlantic USA - 1982
Mama - Charisma - 1983
That's All - Charisma - 1983
Illegal Alien - Charisma - 1984
Taking It All Too Hard - Atlantic USA - 1984
Invisible Touch - Virgin - 1986
In Too Deep - Virgin - 1986
Land Of Confusion - Virgin - 1986
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (Remix) - Virgin - 1987
Throwing It All Away - Virgin - 1987
No Son Of Mine - Virgin - 1991
I Can't Dance - Virgin - 1991
Hold On My Heart - Virgin - 1992
Jesus He Knows Me (Single Mix) - Virgin - 1992
Invisible Touch (Live) 1992 - Virgin - 1992
Tell Me Why - Virgin - 1993
Not About Us (Album Version) - Atlantic USA - 1998
So that is my proposal though as a newbie here, some kind soul may point out if this a) has been done before and b) which section of the board it would go in (or would Suppers Ready be it?)
I need to whittle the final list down to 32 and think that removing the American releases might be the way.
Thanks in advance, Oliver.
