Nice topic. I’m assuming the bolded titles are the preferred ones:
Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You
From Me To You / Thank You Girl
I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy
Can’t Buy Me Love / You Can’t Do That
A Hard Day’s Night / Things We Said Today
Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out
Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby
Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever
All You Need Is Love / Baby You’re a Rich Man
Hello, Goodbye / I Am The Walrus
Lady Madonna / The Inner Light
The Ballad Of John And Yoko / Old Brown Shoe
Let It Be / You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
B-sides take it, 13-9!
Hardest decision: Between “Help !” and “I'm Down”
Easiest decision: “She Loves You ” fully deserves its iconic status, whereas “I'll Get You” I never liked much at all, and I've owned the single since I was six – it was my Mum's originally, and apparently fairly scarce (Canadian Capitol label)
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

My hardest decision was between “Can't Buy Me Love” and “You Can't Do That” + “I Want To Hold Your Hand ” and “This Boy “. Easiest however, was between “Let It Be ” and “You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)”. You are right, the bolded titles are the most preferred once.

Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You (LMD is somewhat plodding to my ears)
Please Please Me / Ask Me Why (no brainer: turbo-charged Lennon McCartney original vs milquetoast cover)
From Me To You / Thank You Girl
She Loves You / I'll Get You
I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy (the song that changed the world vs some nice harmonies)
Can't Buy Me Love / You Can't Do That (I think they were right to ax YCDT from the movie)
A Hard Day's Night / Things We Said Today
I Feel Fine / She's a Woman (close)
Help ! / I'm Down
Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out (sorry – dead heat)
Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby (YS if young kids are around)
Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever (One of the most uplifting songs in the Beatles' cannon vs introspective psychedelia)
All You Need Is Love / Baby You're a Rich Man
Hello, Goodbye / I Am The Walrus
Lady Madonna / The Inner Light
Hey Jude / Revolution (dead heat again)
Get Back / Don't Let Me Down
The Ballad Of John And Yoko / Old Brown Shoe
Something / Come Together (close)
Let It Be / You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
"Into the Sky with Diamonds" (the Beatles and the Race to the Moon – a history)
