Ultimate Battle of The Beatles

A band that has transcended time and space, that has given the world some of the most instantly recognisable and memorable songs, no other group can compare to The Beatles. They were only really active for around a 10 year period and released a staggering 12 studio albums in approximately 8 years which is modern terms is absolutely amazing. The fact that these releases were bookended by non stop touring make their output all the more impressive.

By the numbers

Approx 600,000,000 albums sold, the biggest selling artist of all time.

Approx 2,700 different cover versions of their songs have been released / recorded, by comparison, the nearest competitor is Bob Dylan with around 600 covers.

Approx 1,600,000,000 singles sold in the US alone.

For the purposes of this tournament, I have only included original recorded songs that appeared on their 12 original studio albums. We have 184 tracks to pick from.

Round 1 will commence later this week and consists of 92, 1 vs 1 legs. Ive made the drawing already so when things commence, I will post a link to each song (Youtube or Spotify) and Boardsies pick which ever song they prefer.

Voting will be valid for a 24 hour period from the time of the post and if any votes are cast after the 24 hours have elapsed they will not be counted so if you want to get involved please get your vote in early.

In the event there is a tie, I will cast the deciding vote to break the deadlock.

So sit back, relax and get ready to enjoy some of the best music ever recorded.

In the short term, have a view of this, something I am ridiculously excited about.



Let Beatlemania sweep through Boards!!!!
