    I just can't get into the white album, and neither can my husband. I guess it's a good thing we found each other, since apparently no one else in the world shares this opinion. ;):D

    The White Album is wonderful, but Rubber Soul is my favorite.

    One of the best Beatles albums, but nothing beats Magical Mystery Tour in my book ;)

    i think if they made the white album a single rather than a double, it would have been their best. that's my critical opinion of it. it is what it is and i love it, but it's like ringo said "there's a lot of information on a double album. it should have been 2 records. the white and the whiter album." :D
    so in my humble opinion it should have been almost all of disc 1(minus wild honey pie, why don't we do it in the road, bungalow bill), and then 4 or 5 of the best tracks from disc 2. revolution 9 is just plain stupid. there's no need for revolution 1, the faster version is the only one you need. savoy truffle, mother nature's son, goodnight, etc. these songs hurt the album. they could have been b-sides or something. this is what i think the white album should have been:

    Back in the U.S.S.R.
    Dear Prudence
    Glass Onion
    Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
    While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    Happiness is a Warm Gun
    Martha My Dear
    I'm so tired
    Blackbird
    Piggies
    Rocky Raccoon
    Don't Pass Me By

    i know what you're saying. but critically speaking, if it had been a single album, with the best tracks, it would probably have been the single best album they ever made. disc 1 is far superior to disc 2, in my opinion. disc 2 has a lot of filler. a lot of tracks that could have been b-sides. it still could have had 15, 16 songs on it. i mean seriously, how often does anyone listen to the white album all the way through, every single time they listen to it. i doubt anyone here can say they don't skip songs like revolution 9 or honey pie.

    its a flawless record, the beatles are king, everything they did is great but the white album is the best of the best. I remember whne I bought it, the clerk at the store said "this album will change your life", needless to say, it did.

    It expresses with little political statements what life was like in the late 60's.

    Have John should have told yoko no experiment avent garde rubbish now. Although I have to say you would listen to it.
    Revoltion was made a b-side and one of the loudest intro's ever.
    I love the innocence of "good night".

    yes, revolution was a b-side. but on the white album, disc 2, they included revolution 1, which was much slower, softer.

    and i actually like goodnight, myself. but 'don't pass me by' is my preferred ringo track. love that one. :)

    I love to have heard john's version of the song.
    Had good night on in the car today.

    Revoltion 1 is like a pub version rehearshal of the song
