SSG-White Album results
« on: October 07, 2007, 11:51:26 AM »

Here's the results for The White Album vote:

Disc 1
1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps   32
2. Dear Prudence   25
3. Back In The U.S.S.R.   21

Worst: Wild Honey Pie   13

Disc 2
1. Helter Skelter   26                                   
2. Mother Nature's Son   24
3. Sexy Sadie   23

Worst: Revolution 9   11

For each disc, the 3 winners ended up being at least double the points of the nearest competitor.

Trivia corner: All but 4 songs - out of 30 - recieved votes in the 'best' category.

A massive 13 songs received votes in the 'worst' category, though Wild Honey Pie, and Revolution 9 walked it in the end.

All of George's songs received votes in the 'worst' category.

This is the first time George has claimed top spot.

As I have been politely reminded, this is also the first time Paul has had the worst song.

Whilst on the subject of Wild Honey Pie, it was covered in 2005 by London band 'Part Chimp', for BBC Radio 1's anniversary of John Lennon's death. Which just goes to show that some people still think - if it was wierd, then it must have been Lennon!

Shouldn't our trivia include that Paul has finally won a spot for composing the worst song?

Yeah, weird album. After all, Revolution 9 is worst "song" on the other disc.

Well, we've been down this road before, and opinion was split, so I decided to leave them in the vote. Though Wild Honey Pie wasn't included in that poll. I don't intend to vote for any of the songs I put in the poll, as I don't consider them songs, and the name of the game is...

However, compared to Revolution 9, Wild Honey Pie is a song and dance number!

  It is not that it is probably hated, but when you have to choose the least favorite..something has to get that vote. Just like on Revolver, to me all great songs..hard to choose the least favorite.

I cant believe 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' claimed the top spot. I truly find this song to be one of the longest, most boring pieces the Beatles have ever done.
