I thought the others never really took a shine to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - just for the amount of takes - and Lennon's distates for such an obvious Mccartney ditty. |

Well I never knew that. Was it a big hit? Or is that a silly question?
It's always been a bit of a mystery to me why they gave away such an obviously massive hit to Marmalade.
It entered the Dutch Top 40 on January 25th 1969 and reached #5. It remained in the list for nine weeks. |

It wouldn't have been out of place if there had been a clip of Mongolian music on the white album! |

...Helter Skelter was basically the beginning of metal.
That's kind of what I was getting at with IGAF sounding like the Zeps - it's as if some of their sounds prefigured later musical trends. And Come Together sounding ahead of it's time? |

I always liked Obladi because of its ska Caribbean sound. Like the Stones Connection. |

I think it's a great song, very fun and catchy. Although it's true that a lot of people hate it. |

Those hatin' haters just hate everything except their own hate. All Desmond wants to do is bring his barrow to the market place--is that too much to ask? And Molly, she's a singer in the band. Plus, you see that it's really an interracial thing. Desmond, the islander, and his Irish gal Molly. Desmond and Molly "Brown." See?
So those haters are really just racists, pure and simple, as everything in the world is!
They're also homophobic/anti-transgender about Desmond doing his pretty face while Molly brings home the bacon.
I'm surprised the BBC ever allowed this to be played. It undermines everything the Empire stands for. God save the Queen!

I cringe when I think of how I desecrated albums. I had a zipper Sticky fingers and a round Odgens Nut Gone Flake. All ended up on my wall. But a day of release numbered White Album? How do you sleep?? 
My God,did you have no couth as a kid???????????   |

LOL! Good one, Adamzero. I also like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. It's fun to put on and hop around when I do aerobics. |

There are a lot of songs on the White Album that some people hate but other people love. Honey Pie (GREAT song) and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, for example. There's something for everyone on the white album... unless you happen to be into, like, Mongolian folk music or gangsta rap.

After all these years I still maintain that with the correct selection of songs this would have made a truly great single album. Don't get me wrong, I love the 'sprawling' nature of the double, the diversity of sounds, and the humour (strange considering the tension in the group at the time).
Revolution 9 belongs on a John & Yoko album. Good Night and Savoy Truffle are tripe and don't deserve the Beatles name.
A single album and maybe an EP would have done the trick.
I kind of agree with you Blue Meanie as regards the white album. I don't mind Savoy Truffle though. Goodnight and Long Long Long are the two I don't like. Wild Honey Pie and Why Don't We Do It in the Road I can't classify as songs. They should have gone in the trash bin along with Rev #9. Cry Baby Cry is another I could do without. |

It exists! I just bought an album by the Tuva throat singers, and I love it!

LOL. See, this is the "problem" with the White Album, if it is one. I agree with many of your selections, but happen to really like "Long Long Long" and "Cry Baby Cry"-- I have played both repeatedly. I guess it only goes to show the far-ranging tastes of The Beatles and their fans! Welcome to the boards, bobr52! |
