The White Album is probably my favorite of Beatles' albums just "because" it's sooooo different than anything else they did.........."experimental" would be a good word.....

Quoted from fendertele


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.


Exactly the same. On the first disk I love Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Martha My Dear and Don't Pass Me By. On disk two I love Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey and Savoy Truffle(one of my favorite George songs).




George and John, buddies and pals.

Is Savoy Truffle "dedicated" to Eric Clapton?

I listen to both disks when I want to hear the White Album.  I skip Revolution 9 as I've already listened to it frontwards, backwards and at all different speeds.  


I can stay till it's time to go

^ did you manage to get the hidden message?

I went for both discs equally

From Disc 1 I like
>Happiness is a Warm Gun (had a bit of an obsession with that song a few weeks ago... kept listening to it all the time and it was stuck in my head for ages )
>Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da
>I'm So Tired
>While My Guitar Gently Weeps
>Don't Pass Me By

And then in Disc 2 I like
>Birthday (I love how this song is so full of energy )
>Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey
>Helter Skelter
>Savoy Truffle (love this one!! )
>Good Night



I'd ask my friends to come and see... an Octopus's Garden with me ^___^

I'm afraid that I'm one of those people that are of the opinion that it would have made a very good single album. I have rarely listened to it all the way through for the last 25 years. I pick out the good stuff and leave the filler. I'm not one of these people that thinks it brilliant just because it's The Beatles. I mean, if anyone else had made 'Why Don't We Do It in the Road' would you listen to it?


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

WhyDWDIITRoad was our favourite song at school. So we did listen to it! Not only because of the Beatles.

For sheer quality I'd agree with you BlueMeanie, but (as cliché as it may seem) I really like the mess on the whole album. I mean, Wild Honey Pie ain't a good track, but I feel the album's better with it.

Funnily enough I was reading a contempory review of it in The Times by Aoellian Cadences Mann. He liked it but his big criticism was that it was too retro and he hoped that with their next album they would catch up with bands like Pink Floyd and return to "pushing the boundaries" blah blah.
For once I have to agree with him. If you discount Rev 9 there's not that much on the albums that sounds anything like "experimental" (?) If anything it sounds like the comedy album they threatened to make in 66. Great great songs, but it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Who the hell cares how 'experimental' the White Album was?  It was a ton of great songs!  That's what the Beatles did, they created great music!  It's only because of how great the music was that everyone started talking about how 'experimental' they were.

They were the best at creating great songs.  After Revolver and Sgt. Peppers, if they'd set out to be more 'innovative,' they'd probably have fallen on their faces.  So they made the White Album.

And you're complaining?

See Paul's statement in the Anthology regarding the White Album.
