I've got the White Album both on vinyl and CD -- but I stupidly lent out disk 2 so needless to say I'll probably never see that again.
I prefer disk 1, or if you prefer, sides 1 and 2. Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired (2 of my favorite John songs), Why Don't We Do it in the Road, I Will, Guitar Gently Weeps, Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Piggies, Rocky Raccoon, Bungalow Bill, Blackbird. I actually like Back in the USSR more for the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and the Beach Boys parody than the actual song itself. And I like Ringo's first offering, Don't Pass Me By.
On disk 2 I like Sexy Sadie and Cry Baby Cry (two more of my John faves), Helter Skelter, Long Long Long (underrated), the other stuff is good, not great, but side 4 dies with Revolution 9 and Good Night.
I'll listen to either side/disk, but disk 1 wins out.
same theres a lot of my favourite beatles songs scattered all over it but as whole i find it a very hard to listen to.
yeah, specially Revolution #9 and i'm not fond of songs like Piggies, Rocky Raccoon and the ditty Wild Honey Pie. best songs for me are blackbird, dear prudence, sexy sadie, guitar gently weeps, mother nature's son and i do freely admit i love Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da!
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHITE ALBUM! you say its your birthday!
You cannot listen to the beginning notes of Dear Prudence (as Back in the USSR is still fading out) without thinking "Wow, these guys are so good." Even if it's different from everything else they've recorded.
Disc one by far. Happiness is a Warm Gun is one of my most played songs on my iPod. The only songs I listen to on disc two are Sexy Sadie and Cry Baby Cry. Sometimes Mother Nature's Son.
I have listened to disc one soooo many times that its worn out and scratched! The White Album is my favorite and my favorite song is on Disc one! I'm so Tired! I'm glad to see that others here have a great appreciation for that song too....it seems to be far under-rated in my opinion.
