The response to our first poll was overwhelming and we can’t wait to hear the set list you create! Keep helping by voting on your top ten favorite Beatles’ songs  in round two of our poll below. We incorporated the top write-in votes from our last survey but you can still write in your suggestions if you don’t see your fave.

Stay tuned for next week’s vote-off of the top thirty songs!

Missed the first survey? Not sure how it all works? No worries. Click  http://eccartscenter.com/2010/03/29/vote-for-your-favorite-beatles-songs/

American English, Chicago’s fab four, invites you to create the song list!

Here’s how it works: We’ve created three polls that allow you to vote for your ideal Beatles set list. American English will play the songs that  get the most votes at their May 1 “By Request” concert at the ECC Arts Center.  

Here’s what we need you to do: Vote for your favorite Beatles’ songs in each poll! You can choose up to ten per poll. The first poll is below and the next will appear on April 12.  The week of April 19, we’ll have a final vote off of the top 30 songs to determine the top 10.

Don’t see your favorite Beatles song? Write in one of your own!

You don’t have to purchase a ticket to vote but if you want to know whether No. 1 hits or rare classics make the cut, you’ll have to attend this awesome Beatles tribute experience.

Update: Vote below and then check out part 2 of our poll http://eccartscenter.com/2010/04/12/a-special-message-from-american-english-and-the-second-part-of-our-vote-for-your-favorite-beatles-songs-poll/
