OK, trying to construct it like a Beatles album (2 George, 1 Ringo), I would go with this.
1. Back In The USSR 2. Dear Prudence 3. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 4. Happiness Is A Warm Gun 5. Blackbird 6. Julia 7. I'm So Tired 8. Sexy Sadie 9. Helter Skelter 10. Savoy Truffle 11. Birthday 12. Yer Blues 13. I Will 14. Goodnight
It's very hard, though. I left off some pretty good stuff and the sprawling nature of the album is what makes it so good, IMO. |

I'm one of those "it's great the way it is" contingent too, but I do understand the point of this thread so here are my 14 White Album favorites.
"Back In The USSR" "Dear Prudence" "Blackbird" "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" "Revolution" "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" "Julia" "I Will" "Birthday" "Yer Blues" "I'm So Tired" "Don't Pass Me By" "Savoy Truffle" "Good Night"

Cut out some of the sillier stuff (Wild Honey Pie) and some of McCartney's poorer songs, and you have (arguably) the best Beatles album ever.
As it stands, it just scrapes into the top 5. |

Hmm..for the White album, the die is cast as far as I'm concerned. But here's my list:
Side 1 1 Back In The USSR 2 Dear Prudence 3 Honey Pie 4 Happiness Is A Warm Gun 5 Yer Blues 6 Mother Nature's Son 7 Blackbird
Side 2 1 Helter Skelter 2 Long Long Long 3 Everybody's Got Something To Hide... 4 Martha My Dear 5 Sexy Sadie 6 While My Guitar Gently Weeps 7 Revolution 9 |

I wouldn't be able to decide on just 14 songs from the White album. I'd be able to choose a few to get rid of right away, like Revolution 9 and Wild Honey Pie, but after that it would get a bit harder. |

I've read the George Martin wanted to trim the White Album down to a single disc, but I'm glad they didn't. It seems we all have very different ideas about which songs to cut and which songs to keep.
Back in the U.S.S.R. Dear Prudence While My Guitar Gently Weeps Martha My Dear I'm So Tired Rocky Raccoon Don't Pass Me By Why Don't We Do It in the Road? I Will Birthday Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey Sexy Sadie Helter Skelter Long, Long, Long
I like the White Album, but it's not one of my favorites. There's some great stuff on there, but there's a lot of stuff I find unlistenable also.

I can't cut out one song,let alone half the songs from the greatest double album ever made-it's blasphemy. On second thought,yea I can. The Continuing Story of Bungalo Bill Dear Prudence Glass Onion While My Guitar Gently Weeps Happiness is a Warm Gun I'm So Tired Piggies Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey Don't Pass Me By Julia Cry Baby Cry Savoy Truffle Yer Blues Sexy Sadie Bonus Tracks: Revolution 1 Revolution 9 Goodnight Long,Long,Long
Paul could have then released his first solo album:The Paul is Also White Album |
