I really don't know what to vote for. There's about 4 songs I could vote to kill now. I'll go with Rocky Raccoon, I guess.

There was a tie  it broke before I had to post about it. YaY!  police

The writing was clearly on the wall. This was the beginning of the end...

We are going to split the album in two, so round #11 is Disc 1 and round #12 will be Disc 2.

Quote
The Beatles, also known as the White Album, is the ninth studio album by English rock group the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. A double album, its plain white sleeve has no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed,[a] which was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's earlier Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Although no singles were issued from The Beatles in Britain and the United States, the songs "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" originated from the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in August 1968. The album's songs range in style from British blues and ska to tracks influenced by Chuck Berry and by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

On release, The Beatles received favourable reviews from the majority of music critics, but other commentators found its satirical songs unimportant and apolitical amid the turbulent political and social climate of 1968. The band and Martin have since debated whether the group should have released a single album instead. Nonetheless, The Beatles reached number one on the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States and has since been viewed by some critics as one of the greatest albums of all time.


13 smilers voted for 5 songs.

John Lennon  in full self-reference mode BEFORE Mike Love ever did  it! Glass Onion is out!  

Welcome to a new round. We are entering the final stretch of the Beatles main catalog. Please remember to vote off which of the tracks is your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!!!

There are a ton of tracks on this one!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Tally on September 3

Back in the USSR
Dear Prudence
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Martha My Dear
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Rocky Raccoon
I Will
Julia

Round#1 Wild Honey Pie August 7
Round#2 Piggies August 10
Round#3 Don't Pass Me By August 13
Round#4 Why Don't We Do It In The Road? August 20
Round#5 The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill August 22
Round#6 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da August 29
Round#7 Glass Onion September 1

I finally get to vote a song that isn't Glass Onion! Woohoo!

I vote off Rocky Racoon. Great song. Unique in Paul's oeuvre, but ultimately not enough cool things for me to latch onto, compared to the others.

Vote! VOTE!  V O T E ! ! ! ! !

My pick to go doesn't look like it's budging, so might as well boot off Rocky Raccoon, seems like the thing to do. (As I whisper softly to into the ragged ear of the stuffed toy raccoon named Rocky that was given to me by my Beatles-obsessed uncle when I was a kid... "shhhh, it's okay, I still love you")

One of my best friends growing up was from South Dakota. I always liked the lyrics. Seemed a little 'out of place' on a Beatles album.
