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.

Thanks!

And yes, it's an Osmond...that's when I met Donny, here in Boca Raton.

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.


It's scrambled eggs.

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.
