I am finally ready to start the John Lennon solo album tracks tourney. 42 songs were mentioned. The first 22 will get a bye and there will be a play-in for the next 10 spots. There were 11 songs mentioned in the Lennon Hits tourney that someone put in their final four. They got the top 11 spots.

#23 Oh Yoko: Tough but want the joy of "Oh Yoko" #24-It's So Hard: Again hard, heh heh(That's what she said!) #25-Old Dirt Road: Easier. #26-I Know I Know: One of my favorites, a peace pipe to Paul; let's keep it going here. #27-Bless You: Tough, neither in my Top 30 Lennon. #37-New York City: You're killing me Coach! #36-Hold On John: Sorry MikeV! #30-Sunday Bloody Sunday: I am not a fan of "Intuition's" arrangement. #34-Borrowed Time: Stop that Coach, those are hard! #33-Crippled Inside: Hey, I actually like "Angela!" But not as much as CI!

Oh Yoko - A lovely tune but I wish it didn't have Yoko's name in it. Was this the last track to feature LEnnon on harp? Slippin And Slidin Old Dirt Road Tight As I Don't Wanna Face It I Found Out - I can't handle Elephant's Memory's backing on any track So no vote to New York City. Meat City - A fun track Sunday Bloody Sunday vs. 35-Intuition - A hard one. To me they are both ordinary songs... Heads or tails? Tails has it so Intuition it is. Borrowed Time Crippled Inside

#23 Oh Yoko vs. #42 You Can't Catch Me Stand By Me is the only track I like from Rock and Roll. Oh Yoko wins here.
#24-It's So Hard vs. #41-Slippin And Slidin It's So Hard wins easily.
#25-Old Dirt Road vs. #40-Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him A close call here for me. These are two of my favorites. I guess Every Man sounds kind of dated so I'll go with Old Dirt Road.
#26-I Know I Know vs. #39-Tight As I don't like the "I know what's coming down" line. And Tight As is the best.
(Coach's responses don't match the brackets)
#27-Bless You vs. #38-I Don't Wanna Face It I like the "Some people say it's over, now that we've spread our WINGS" line. But I'll go with I Don't Want to Face It. It has that Lennon excitement of old!
#28 I Found Out vs #37-New York City The Beatles could have really rocked New York City. I give I Found Out the win.
$29 Meat City vs. #36-Hold On John Meat City! "Just got to get me some rock and roll!"
#30-Sunday Bloody Sunday vs. 35-Intuition
Sunday Bloody Sunday. I get a redo too, right? I like Isolation better than Sunday Bloody Sunday!
#31-You Are Here vs. #34-Borrowed Time Two more of my favorites. I'll go with Borrowed Time. "Daka daka daka Drewwwww. Alright you can get out now"
#32-Angela vs. #33-Crippled Inside Another tough call. I'll go with what I think will be the underdog here. Angela is not perfect but it's pretty damn good.

Oh shit, is it too late Coach to add "What You Got?" I can't believe I forgot that one in my nominations!

#23 Oh Yoko #41-Slippin And Slidin #40-Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him #39-Tight As #38-I Don't Wanna Face It #28 I Found Out #36-Hold On John #35-Intuition #31-You Are Here #33-Crippled Inside There were some tough pairings in that lot, especially in the instances where i found i wasn't keen on either song. These are like the B Graders hoping to match it in the A league.

Good job Debjorgo! I missed your nomination but would have seconded it! I call upon CoachBK to address this "Intuition" miscarriage of justice wherein this song has attempted to insert itself twice into this wonderful Lennon "Album Tracks" tourney!

The #35 song should have been "Isolation". So kc and JSD let me know if you prefer "Isolation" or "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (I went with "Isolation").

Well I goofed up and typed Intuition instead of Isolation at #35. It has been edited to be correct now. And What You Got was nominated and is at #8.

Shoot I realized I changed some mashups, but didn't change them on the original post.
I'm going to re-do my picks.
