John Lennon’s “We are bigger than Jesus” comment has to be the most misunderstood quote in the history of quotes. Lennon was absolutely right in his assessment of The Beatles meaning more to teenagers than Jesus did at the moment. In all fairness most of world understood what he was saying, but it was the backwards thinking of the American Bible Belt masses that flipped the fuck out. I watch the old 1966 news footage of kids in Texas throwing their Beatles records and memorabilia in those giant bonfires and I think of two things: 1, didn’t the Nazi Party do the something similar? and 2, I bet those kids, now adults, wish they had all that shit they burned back. idiots.

There are 4 divisions for the songs:

DIVISION 1: The Clean Cut Years

These are songs from the first 3 Beatles albums –Please Please Me, With The Beatles, and Hard Days Night.

DIVISION 2: The Shaggy Years

These are songs from the next 3 Beatles albums –Beatles For Sale, Help, and Rubber Soul

DIVISION 4: The Beard Years

These are songs from the last 3 Beatles albums – The Beatles (The White Album), Abbey Road, and Let It Be

After each Division crowns one song as the winner, those songs will battle each other in the final fight to determine which Beatles song is the BEST! Enough talk, let’s get to the battles!
