Vote for your favorite in each pairing. I'm simplifying the scoring from what I previously said...just cumulative points with some simple tiebreaking measures. I won't close this part of the Beatles list until Tuesday night. Anyone can play, even if you haven't said anything!  John Lennon: Stand By Me vs Paul McCartney: Spies Like Us The Beatles: Penny Lane vs The Beatles: Nowhere Man Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder: Ebony and Ivory vs John Lennon: Nobody Told Me The Beatles: Real Love vs The Beatles: And I Love Her Wings: With a Little Luck vs The Beatles with Billy Preston: Get Back John Lennon: Watching the Wheels vs The Beatles: Hey Jude The Beatles: Matchbox vs The Beatles: Day Tripper George Harrison: All Those Years Ago vs John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band: Imagine The Beatles: I Saw Her Standing There vs Wings: Junior's Farm The Beatles: Hello Goodbye vs Paul McCartney: Coming Up (Live at Glasgow) The Beatles: We Can Work It Out vs The Beatles: Ticket to Ride The Beatles: Rain vs Paul McCartney: So Bad Wings: Maybe I'm Amazed vs Ringo Starrr: You're Sixteen John Lennon: Woman vs The Beatles: Twist and Shout Wings: Let 'Em In vs The Beatles: Free as a Bird The Beatles: P.S. I Love You vs John Lennon: #9 Dream Paul McCartney: Take It Away vs The Beatles: Do You Want to Know a Secret |

By the way, the thread title was truncated...this is round 1, part 1 of 3 for the Beatles. There are two more groups of songs coming up!

My Votes
John Lennon: Stand By Me :-)
vs
Paul McCartney: Spies Like Us
That is a pretty good cover by Winston O'Boogie, I never cared for the movie or the song of Spies like Us.
The Beatles: Penny Lane
vs
The Beatles: Nowhere Man :-)
Not really close, Nowhere Man is a perfect blend of harmonies
Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder: Ebony and Ivory
vs
John Lennon: Nobody Told Me :-)
Two of the crappiest songs by Beatle Members, have to go with the lesser of 2 evils.
The Beatles: Real Love
vs
The Beatles: And I Love Her :-)
Not close, that hokey Real Love sucks
Wings: With a Little Luck :-)
vs
The Beatles with Billy Preston: Get Back
Close, 2 solid songs, like this Wings song for some reason.
John Lennon: Watching the Wheels
vs
The Beatles: Hey Jude :-)
Wheels is a good one, but tough competition, one song about Sean Lennon vs the Song for Julian Lennon.
The Beatles: Matchbox
vs
The Beatles: Day Tripper :-)
For the amazing riff
George Harrison: All Those Years Ago :-)
vs
John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band: Imagine
Not huge on Imagine, I will vote for the song honoring John by George.
The Beatles: I Saw Her Standing There
vs
Wings: Junior's Farm :-)
Wow 2 great ones, Junior's Farm was one of my favorte 45's as a kid.
The Beatles: Hello Goodbye
vs
Paul McCartney: Coming Up (Live at Glasgow) :-)
I hate Hello Goodbye, Comni Up was great when it came out.
The Beatles: We Can Work It Out
vs
The Beatles: Ticket to Ride :-)
Ticket to Ride is so innocent
The Beatles: Rain :-)
vs
Paul McCartney: So Bad
Nothing amazing about either
Wings: Maybe I'm Amazed :-)
vs
Ringo Starrr: You're Sixteen
Not close here, cute Ringo tune, but this is Paul's showstopper.
John Lennon: Woman :-)
vs
The Beatles: Twist and Shout
Great cover of Twist and Shout but have to vote for the 2nd hit from Double Fantasy here.
Wings: Let 'Em In :-)
vs
The Beatles: Free as a Bird
Another non Beatles hokey think against a lame Wings tune.
The Beatles: P.S. I Love You
vs
John Lennon: #9 Dream :-)
I am voting for a lot of solo stuff, this song was so uncanny, that has grown to be legendary in my mind.
Paul McCartney: Take It Away
vs
The Beatles: Do You Want to Know a Secret :-)
Early beatles over a decent Tug of War track.

I don't know if there's a problem with copyrights, but finding clips of the actual Beatles songs is proving difficult. Allmusic.com has nothing. I'm going to go ahead and vote the song I do know, as long as I like it, even if I can't find a clip of a song I don't know, as this isn't one with people's egos riding on it ;-)
Allmusic.com *does* have Paul McCartney (including Wings) clips available under "Paul McCartney" (don't try to find them under "Wings.")
My votes:
John Lennon: Stand By Me
vs
Paul McCartney: Spies Like Us ***** (I appreciate his willingness to try new stuff. "Stand By Me" kinda bores me in this cover.)
The Beatles: Penny Lane *****
vs
The Beatles: Nowhere Man
Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder: Ebony and Ivory *****
vs
John Lennon: Nobody Told Me
The Beatles: Real Love
vs
The Beatles: And I Love Her ***** (couldn't find a clip of "Real Love," but this tune is gorgeous.)
Wings: With a Little Luck
vs
The Beatles with Billy Preston: Get Back *****
John Lennon: Watching the Wheels *****
vs
The Beatles: Hey Jude
The Beatles: Matchbox
vs
The Beatles: Day Tripper *****
George Harrison: All Those Years Ago
vs
John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band: Imagine ***** (The hardest one for me here)
The Beatles: I Saw Her Standing There
vs
Wings: Junior's Farm *****
The Beatles: Hello Goodbye *****
vs
Paul McCartney: Coming Up (Live at Glasgow)
The Beatles: We Can Work It Out
vs
The Beatles: Ticket to Ride *****
The Beatles: Rain *****
vs
Paul McCartney: So Bad
Wings: Maybe I'm Amazed *****
vs
Ringo Starrr: You're Sixteen
John Lennon: Woman
vs
The Beatles: Twist and Shout ***** (hard)
Wings: Let 'Em In *****
vs
The Beatles: Free as a Bird
The Beatles: P.S. I Love You
vs
John Lennon: #9 Dream *****
Paul McCartney: Take It Away ***** (hard one!)
vs
The Beatles: Do You Want to Know a Secret
