I'm gonna keep going for Mr. Postman because it just doesn't have the charm of the rest of the songs left in my eyes.

"Don't Bother Me" - it's George's 1st serious if boring song (to be fair, not as much as "Long Long Long" & "Only a Northern Song" ).

It's a long dark driveway to be heading down, Marc. Do you really want to go to that haunted house? It doesn't seem safe to go with that pick. You might find your torch go green-glow, yellow, and out...
Stay on the path with us. Money is being left in our wake. Money lights the way.

Here we go. The Beatles sophomore album.
Quote
With the Beatles is the second studio album by the English rock group the Beatles. It was released on 22 November 1963, on Parlophone, and was recorded four months after the band's debut Please Please Me. The album features eight original compositions (seven by Lennon–McCartney and "Don't Bother Me", George Harrison's first recorded solo composition and his first released on a Beatles album) and six covers (mostly of Motown, rock and roll, and R&B hits). The cover photograph was taken by the fashion photographer Robert Freeman, and it has been mimicked by several music groups over the years.
5 Smilers do not want anymore Money.
As usual vote for your least favorite track. The track with the most votes gets voted off.
I will shorten the voting span to 2 days. So tally will be on the November 3rd.
It Won't Be Long
All I've Got To Do
All My Loving
Don't Bother Me
Please Mister Postman
Not A Second Time
Following on the heels of the success of their first album, the Beatles were anxious to not rock the boat so they kept the general formula that seemed to work so well on Please Please Me. Though they took more time to record it.
Round#1
Little Child
September 27
Round#2
I Wanna Be Your Man
October 5
Round#3
'Till There Was You
October 10
Round#4
You Really Got A Hold On Me
October 17
Round#5
Devil In Her Heart
October 22
Round#6
Roll Over Beethoven
October 25
Round#7
Hold Me Tight
October 28
Round#8
Money (That's What I Want)
October 31
My first pick is an easy one. Sort of. I think Hold Me Tight is probably the weakest Lennon/McCartney song in the entire Beatles oeuvre. However, George Harrison's first attempt at song writing isn't exactly a shining moment... But which to vote off?
Ultimately, Hold Me Tight is fun. The hand claps give it energy and I kind of dig that galloping rhythm. Whereas Don't Bother Me is heavy. It has some interesting guitar work. But Harrison's vocal and overdubs are pretty messy.
I'll STILL vote Don't Bother Me.

A few comments on Money now that it's gone: In comparison to the original by Barrett Strong, I like that the Beatles truncated the intro and break from 12 bars to 8. Also, the final refrain has always made the song for me. The way it 'kicks into overdrive' with Paul's punctuated eighth notes (does Ringo double him on bass drum?). My knowledge of music theory is very basic so if my wording is technically wrong, forgive me, I'm just trying to explain specific aspects of the song. Same as Twist and Shout, I love the complete ending by the Beatles and John's impassioned "that's what I WANT". IMO it better serves the song than fading out. Also, the rawer (even duller) sound and lower key of the Beatles version seems to fit the theme of the song better IMO. But that is a minor point, just a thought. Lastly, if any aspect of the Beatles version were to exceed any others, to me, it would be the backing vocals by Paul and George.
P.S. I like John changing the words to "I wanna be free" and omitting Strong's interjection "and that baby is what I need" after "Always need greens" or "All I need greens" in the original verson. Atleast that's what I hear, but I'm not sure what Strong is saying. Interestingly, it seems John imitates that interjection in the Live at the BBC volume 2 version, although it may have just been a coincidence.
My vote is for
Don't Bother Me

My vote is for
Don't Bother Me
.
If you want raw and exciting, check out the Stones version of Money. Makes the Beatles version seem very tame in comparison, particularly with the garage-y backing vocals by Brian & Bill.
This round my vote goes to All I've Got To Do.... Don't Bother Me is one of the better remaining songs IMO

Actually, I checked it out a few rounds ago when you mentioned it. I can dig it. Since then I've listened to it about half a dozen times. Still prefer the Beatles version, but i like it. I like the Stones.
