Time to look at the tracks voted #90-#81 by the fans (with my personal comments):
90. HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN-I didn't like this song when I first heard it and wouldn't have had it anywhere near the top 100, but my appreciation for it has grown and I now think it would be top 50 for me. 89. LOVE ME DO-has historical value and a nice harmonica, but not top 100 for me. 88. FROM ME TO YOU-a strange one for us US residents as it wasn't a hit here and most of us didn't hear it until the RED ALBUM. Not as strong as the single that directly preceded it, nor those that followed. Not top 100 for me. 87. I’M A LOSER-first Dylan influence. I like this and might even put it a few spots higher. 86. P.S. I LOVE YOU-not bad, but has no business being in a top 100 countdown. 85. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR-a nice rocking opening track for the MMT film. I might put it a few spots higher. 84. ANNA (GO TO HIM)-a very well sung cover, but I'd have Words Of Love here if I wanted a melodic cover song. 83. YOU WON’T SEE ME-can't believe this made it onto the top 100 and I'm Looking Through You (a top 50 contender) did not. I'd also take The Word and If I Needed Someone as RUBBER SOUL tracks before I'd include You Won't See Me. 82. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE-seems like about the right placement. I might put it closer to #90. 81. OCTOPUS’S GARDEN-I'd move this one up a few spots-at least to where Yellow Submarine is (see next 10).

88. FROM ME TO YOU - This just doesn't do anything for me. 85. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR - Same here. It's good enough for the film title track, but pointless out of context. 81. OCTOPUS’S GARDEN - A good solid track. Good story behind it. 82. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE - A good pop song with good rock edge to it. 83. YOU WON’T SEE ME-I also like I'm Looking Through You and If I Needed Someone better. I'm not that big on The Word. 86. P.S. I LOVE YOU - This and Love Me Do was a great 45 that we had as a kid. 89. LOVE ME DO- I still like this and P.S. I Love You. Not all of my favorites from then are still favorites now, 87. I’M A LOSER - We are in different territory now. We are in the "great" zone. 90. HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN - Top 5
I'm not sure why we have separate threads for each range. I'm going to mix this list with the other one when I get a chance.

[quote author=" debjorgoI'm not sure why we have separate threads for each range.

I was also hoping there would be more people adding their comments.

My combined list:
100. BOYS-Putting aside the whole "Why is Ringo singing a song about boys?" thing, the song is not one of my favorites. 88. FROM ME TO YOU - This just doesn't do anything for me. 91. PLEASE MISTER POSTMAN-This sounds dated to me. When the Beatles changed music forever, this was left behind. 96. SHE’S LEAVING HOME-A hard song for me to enjoy any more. I guess I just don't have time for it. 85. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR - Same here. It's good enough for the film title track, but pointless out of context. 81. OCTOPUS’S GARDEN - A good solid track. Good story behind it. 98. ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC-The Beatles play Chuck. You can't beat it. 94. YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME-The soulfulness of this song still comes through. 82. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE - A good pop song with good rock edge to it. 93. ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN- A perfect recording of Chuck's song. I'm always reminded of Superman 3. 95. I DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY-The guy version of It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To. A great song. 99. THANK YOU GIRL-I like I'll Get You better. Too bad we can't have both. 83. YOU WON’T SEE ME-I also like I'm Looking Through You and If I Needed Someone better. I'm not that big on The Word. 86. P.S. I LOVE YOU - This and Love Me Do was a great 45 that we had as a kid. 89. LOVE ME DO- I still like this and P.S. I Love You. Not all of my favorites from then are still favorites now. 97. I’M ONLY SLEEPING-This is a psychedelic song done by the early Beatles. It sounds like both early and mid-period all at the same time. 92. SHE’S A WOMAN-This and I'm Down are pretty equal in my book. This was one of my favorites as a kid. 87. I’M A LOSER - We are in different territory now. We are in the "great" zone. 90. HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN - Top 5
