I like 18, 12 and 16

Here are my votes:

#16 - Made me think

I vote for #5, #14, #15.

Good stuff!

there are 5 that I really liked, but of those 5 (5, 7, 8, 9, 14) I guess I would have to go with 5 - 9 - 14

great job everyone!

Excellent puzzle all the way around! Thanks!

Ok, I vote for #12, #15 and #8

voting for 5, 9, 14.

thank goodness for itunes

I vote for #5, #18, and #4

#2 - Simple and clever
#9 - Nice use of references
#16 - Clever composition

I hate the beatles but really liked this puzzle. The clueing was GREAT!!

#5, #14, #16 -- These are all a half step above the rest, all of which are well done.

3 (which this is not a vote for) is sacrilege. Yes, I exaggerate, but I really don't think excrement is called for in puzzle-solving -- especially when it's cluing something so nice.

8, 12, 15,

Hard to pick just three. Nice job everyone.

It was several years before I realized that "Beatles" isn't a real word. I don't know the full scoop behind the name, but I do know it's misspealled.

4, 11, 15

3, 4, 5

It's a shame that a lot of the other ones that were accepted weren't used.

Super fun!
Thanks Arnott & all creators!

I vote for #5, #16, #18

I liked 12, 15 and 18

Good puzzle; too bad I'm not more familiar with Beatles' tunes.

My votes are #5, #15, and #16. Nice job all!

My votes: 3, 4, 16.

Some real obscure titles included. Fun all around. Faves are 3, 5 and 16.

[64]I was looking forward to posting that number of message. Oh well, when I'm 66, I'll post a comment.

5, 1, 17

3 - tee hee
6 - clever
5 - probably the best clue ever. not just in this puzzle, but of all time. i mean starting from pre-big bang cryptopix (studied via their fossil records - yeah i know there was no earth, leave me alone!) until now - the best. so funny i actually had to e-mail several folks who aren't tanga users to tell them to look.

and it certainly isn't a coincidence that #5 was the name of one of one of the first self-aware, conscious robots in movie history (yes i said ONE of the first!)

thank you #5. you made my day.

1, 5, 11

5 (the best), 14, 16

5, 9, 16.

4, 12, 18

Took me forever to figure out #4, but once I did, and realized the depth of the clue, absolutely loved it.

3, 8, 17

2, 5, 14!

I agree with [68] clue #5 is just incredible.

9 & 15 edge out 11, 14 & 16.

5, 9, 14

2, 14, 16

V, XIV, XV

9, 11, 16

5, 9, and 15.

2, 15, 17

5 9 16 . I liked 5 best.

My favorite tune by this band has always been [clue #16]:

Croissant On A Warm Stove.

3, 5 and 16

5, 9, 16

3, 5, 16

Oh man, I've got to savor this for a few minutes before I vote. While solving I was marveling at how smart and cool the whole thing was and kind of nodding to myself at how great it was that some more obscure songs were clued so brilliantly. Good on you all, constructors.

5, 16, 18

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, double post

OK, #5 sheer brilliance. agree with [68]
# 4 hillarity
# 18 i love the song so much it makes my heart hurt

What I find interesting is how EVERY single clue has been voted for here. That just goes to show how everyone has different tastes around here! It also shows that all of the submitters did a great job with the clues, and Arnott did a great job selecting the clues to use for the puzzle.

Very cool!

This was a lot of fun! It was hard to pick just three

18, 9, 3

This was fun, though I was slightly shocked that there were songs I'd not heard of.

It's really hard to vote for only three, but I'll go for #s 1, 9, and 16.

I wish I could vote for six of them.

5, 14, and 16

Just checking back today to see all the comments/votes. This was an AWESOME puzzle. Thanks again to everyone involved.

I am convinced that The Beatles will be the music that defines the last half of the 20th century in a couple hundred years.

The first time I heard #5 (at age 11) was a life changing event. Still the best song I have ever heard.
