It's getting tiring but we're almost finished here...! This is part 19! Woot! "Sgt Pepper..." won pretty single handedly in part 18, but this should be a little bit closer...
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (1968) 60.00%
"Don't Let Me Down" (1969) 47.52%
"Come Together" (1969) 48.39%
My vote: "Come Together" > "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" > "Don't Let Me Down"
Statistically the best chance of winning: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
While I really do like all three of these songs, I can't help myself... I have to go with the most popular one here, "Come Together." The nonsense, random lyrics and the catchiness and... well, it's just damn good.
NOTE: I get the "best chance of winning thing" based solely on how well that song did against the songs in its respective rounds... it's not REALLY relevant but I added it anyway.
"Green" is still in it, "Red" is out.
The story so far:
----------
Round 1
----------
120 Votes "And Your Bird Can Sing" + "Back in the U.S.S.R." > "A Hard Day's Night"
113 Votes "Can't Buy Me Love" > "Birthday" > "Boys"
93 Votes "Come Together" > "Dear Prudence" > "Day Tripper"
101 Votes "Don't Let Me Down" > "Dig a Pony" > "Do You Want to Know a Secret"
131 Votes "Get Back" > "Drive My Car" > "Eight Days a Week"
125 Votes "Hello, Goodbye" > "Good Morning Good Morning" > "Getting Better"
144 Votes "Here Comes the Sun" > "Hey Bulldog" > "Helter Skelter"
96 Votes "I Am the Walrus" > "I Me Mine" > "I Feel Fine"
80 Votes "I Saw Her Standing There" > "I Want to Hold Your Hand" > "I Wanna Be Your Man"
105 Votes "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" > "I'm Looking Through You" > "If I Needed Someone"
118 Votes "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" > "I've Got a Feeling" > "Octopus's Garden"
125 Votes "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / "With a Little Help from My Friends" > "Revolution" > "Paperback Writer"
117 Votes "Something" > "Taxman" > "The End"
115 Votes "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" > "Twist and Shout" > "Ticket to Ride"
137 Votes [After 24 Hours]"Within You, Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows" > "Yellow Submarine"
----------
Round 2
----------
126 Votes "And Your Bird Can Sing" > "I Saw Her Standing There" > "Can't Buy Me Love"
100 Votes "I Am the Walrus" > "Hello, Goodbye" > "Within You, Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows"
106 Votes "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / With a Little Help from My Friends" > "Back in the U.S.S.R." > "Lucy in the Sky..."
The worst song in The Beatles: Rock Band is APPARENTLY:
I Wanna Be Your Man: 7.50% in Part 9
And I disagree. I'd say the worst song is "Boys.", which held the place of worst song for quite some time.

VERY torn between Come Together and Don't Let Me Down.

Gotta go with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" -- three very solid songs, but I like the tune and progression of that one the most. Plus, it's got Clapton in it. Bonus!
As for the "worst" song being "Boys" over "I Wanna be Your Man"... neither one is a 'bad' song, per se. Frankly, I rather like the latter, and the former has really grown on me. Perhaps I'd say they're more 'less preferred', but still better than anything the Jonas Brothers have ever done.

Voting for Don't Let Me Down. I love the other two, but I gotta go for the song that I fell in love with.

As awesome as Don't Let Me Down is, you should all know my answer to this.
Hint: It was written by Harrison.

Don't Let Me Down, don't let me down. It's sad to see such a great yet underrated song lose, and it was so predictable that this would happen.

Don't Let Me Down > While My Guitar Gently Weeps > Come Together.
Come Together is a good song, but the way the Beatles performed it did nothing for me.

Wow this could be the toughest choice. I went with Dont let me down. But they are all equal!

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I love the lyrics, how Paul plays the piano, and how George sang with emotion.

Don't Let Me Down because it has one of John's most emotional vocal performances. I didn't expect While My Guitar Gently Weeps to be dominating like this. I think you guys are really overrating this song at this point.

This has been the easiest choice out of all the polls for me..."While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Even though I really like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I've never considered it one of my favorites.

This is an easy choice. WMGGW is my favorite Beatles song.

Honestly, I enjoy all three songs.
But, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is among my top 10 Beatles songs. The others are not.

I always find it funny how a difference of opinion means one view is overrated.

That's sort of what starts overratedness, idlephase.

Since when did overrated come to mean "I don't like it?" Does anyone really say "this is my favorite, and it's overrated?"
No, people say "oh, I don't agree with your favorite. I prefer this other one, so yours is overrated."
