Second Disc, although now probaly first disc, cos I havn't listened to the White Album in a while. I normally like to listen to it as a complete album.

I listen to both sides equally because the White Album is the Beatles true masterpiece & you can't deny it.

Equally. Disc One has Back in the USSR and Happiness is A Warm Gun, but Disc Two has Revolution and Honey Pie.

Disc 2 has Sexy sadie, Yer Blues, Mother natures son, Cry baby Cry, Helter Skelter and Savoy Truffle

Disc 1- Rocky Racoon, While my GGW, HIAWGun, Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, and Blackbird

I like Revolution 9, but not the idea of it being on an album..cause it makes it not fully listenable and Dont pass me by gets annoying

Disc 1.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Rocky Raccoon
Dear Prudence
Back In the USSR
Happiness Is A Warm Gun

Disc 2 also has spectacular songs, but I usually prefer listening to the ones in Disc 1. Although all songs are masterpieces. Yes, including Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9 and Long Long Long which is a very underrated Geroge song.

I listen to both when I listen to it, but I like Disc 1 better, even though Yer Blues and Helter Skelter are probably my favorites on the album (along with Happiness Is a Warm Gun).

Disc 1 -- Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, OblaDi, WMGGW, I Will, Rocky Raccoon, Martha My Dear, Blackbird, and yes, even Why Don't We Do It?

It's just more fun to listen to.  Although I really like Helter Skelter.

although disc 2 definitely has some great songs (birthday, mother nature's son, everybody's got something to hide (except for me and my monkey), sexy sadie, and cry baby cry), disc 1 is better overall. that's usually the one i put on when i listen to the white album.

Disc 2. There's lots of boring filler on Disc 1, Disc 2 is perfect...almost.

I have to say Disc 2.
It has that unsettling and diverse feel..which makes the White Album so odd.

Thats exactly what I do: I play one then the other (is there any other way for old fashioned people like me with the album in two tapes)  

I listen to it as ONE doble album, why choose one side or other if there are great music on both? The guys wanted in that way, so... what can we do against it?

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.

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!
