#1 My Sweet Lord vs. #8 Crackerbox Palace
#2 Got My Mind Set On You vs. #7 Blow Away
#3 Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) vs. #6 Dark Horse
#4 All Those Years Ago vs. #5 What Is Life

#1 My Sweet Lord vs. #8 Crackerbox Palace A tough one right of as I love both songs. I gotta go with My Sweet Lord. #2 Got My Mind Set On You vs. #7 Blow Away A pretty close one. Neither of these are final four material in my opinion, but such is the match. I'll give my edge to a Harrison original and Blow Away. #3 Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) vs. #6 Dark Horse Give Me Love with no hesitation. Easiest choice of this round. #4 All Those Years Ago vs. #5 What Is Life What Is Life is also an easy choice.

The first Harrison round had several interesting contests, more so that the Lennon and McCartney exercises IMO. I am depressed that Isn’t It A Pity has gone so early. It is one of George Harrison’s greatest recorded achievements as far as I’m concerned. However, the results are in and I will say that I find this second round very straight forward.

What happened to Cheer Down:)? Yeah, ha, I know it wasn’t a top 40 hit, but it would be in my final four for George:). It will be on my final recap list.
Could we have a clean sweep in this round? It’s possible, as I see the above four winning going away. We could have some “Got My Mond” votes though.

#1 My Sweet Lord vs. #8 Crackerbox Palace Two favorites. I'll go with My Sweet Lord.
#2 Got My Mind Set On You vs. #7 Blow Away Blow Away is the better song in my thinking.
#3 Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) vs. #6 Dark Horse I thought Dark Horse was going to win this tourney for me. But Give Me Love noses it out. These are certainly 1 and 2 for me.
#4 All Those Years Ago vs. #5 What Is Life I like All Those Years Ago better. But a close call.

Nothing hard but I am depressed that it is shaping up as an ATMP-fest! And I contributed to that!
ATMP is awesome but just as I lamented with the song selection at The Concert For George, also ATMP heavy, George's Solo career was much more than just his first real Solo album

So i did it again. i think I voted for My Sweet Lord last time, but changed my mind. Maybe we have been hacked by the Russians, see how that can change an election! No but cheers to you Mike for voting a 33 1/3 entry over an ATMP one if that is how you feel! I do not in that particular pairing.

That would be awesome Coach! Each Fab gives us so many Solo songs we can sink our teeth into! Decades ago Joey would do the Macca Song Tourney of every commercially available Solo Paul song and I always thought the early Rounds were so fun and hard but then it would come down to songs basically off Wings Greatest and much less interesting as we got to the Final Rounds.

Maybe coach should limit the album tracks tourney to JUST album tracks, no singles. I don't know. Most of my favorite tracks are the deep album-only tracks anyway.

That's not a bad idea, it would certainly cause a different outcome. My memory is that "Junior's Farm" was the last McCartney Song Tourney Winner where Joey listed every song which wasn't too bad, a surprising twist from "Maybe I'm Amazed" or "Band On The Run." Paul didn't even see fit to play it during WOA. Or if the singles are included, one would think our group, made up of Beatles/Paul fanatics, would weed some of the singles out simply because of oversaturation. Yet we did not back then. Just like the non-fanatic on the street, we voted for the big hits over more interesting and often better deep tracks.
