The "Big Beatles Poll" Results

After a week's worth of hype, various levels of excitement & participation, and a surprising number of submissions, the results are in! Some people couldn't pick just one album or song, so the only '1-vote-per-person tally' will be for 'Favorite Beatle', while 'Favorite Album' will be the top three vote-getters, and the 'Favorite Song' section has so many ties, I'll just list the ones that appeared in the most submissions, and also had reasons why and/or memories alongside...

Favorite Albums (in order):

1. Rubber Soul
   
2. Abbey Road
3. Let It Be

Favorite Songs (random order):

• "Norwegian Wood"
• "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
• "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds"
• "She Loves You"
• "Ticket to Ride"
• "Here Comes the Sun"
• "Twist and Shout"

Favorite Band Member:

1. Paul - 14 votes
2. John - 9 votes
3. George - 6 votes

There you have it! The people have spoken. Worthy choices all. And as a thank you, one lucky contributor chosen at random will receive the remastered cd of his/her choice! Thanks to everyone who took the time to add their votes or send a few words. And a HUMONGOUS thanks to those of you who sent longer pieces, with permission to print them. You folks made this a lot of fun for us here at Not Lame Minus.

And for those of you who didn't get a chance (or opted not) to participate this time, have no fear! There will be a pair of chances to be heard (and seen!) amidst the Not Lame Minus community towards the end of October, when we will have an R.E.M.-based event (smaller than "Beatles Week"), as well as a Halloween costume contest!
