"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
I think the experimental aspect of the album and the fact that all 4 were involved in their own way (maybe not always together) is part of the reason for the hype.
Yeah, it's no start to finish masterpiece like Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road. but, some of their best songs (Dear Prudence is my favorite) are on this album. If I had to make a correlation, I would use Radiohead. This is their Hail to the Theif...great songs but not a start to finish perfect album like The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A.
Plus, there are actual "rockers" on this one. Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter, Birthday...these were breakthroughs for the Beatles at the time. I guess that's my opinion.

Compare albums of each at the time of release and you will be truly wrong.
The who first great album was Tommy in 69 . Comparing "a quick one" or "My generation" with any beatle album released at the time and they are clearly blown out of the water
beatles couldn't compare to the who as a live experience. did the beatles ever play a live show after 1965 or 1966? oh yes,they played some songs on top of some rooftop in 1969......whatever.

Their last official performance was at Candlestick Park, on August 29th 1966. They had planned a concert for television, for the end of 1968, and it was even advertised in The Beatles Monthly Book. It didn't happen, though. The Get Back film project (which became Let it Be), and the impromptu Saville Row concert on January 30th 1969, were a sad attempt to salvage something from the original concert plan.
My mum was walking down Saville Row, while the concert was happening. She said it was an out of tune racket.
"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

its as close as i can remember anyway... i think its right?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I think nearly everything in the entire history of Myspace is better than Don't Pass Me By. Let's not get excited, Dunkstah.
well i know, but c'mon... Ringo has to get a song per album.. its filler before its even been recorded.
i still rate the white album demo stuff to be some of their best stuff.

pjoasisrule, you never have anything but negative reviews. Do you even like music at all? It doesn't seem like it.
The White Album is my favorite Beatles album. Deal with it.
I like tons of music, its just easier to debate about what you dont like. I could care less if its your favorite album, I am dealing with it fine.........I just think it isnt very good, thats all.

thats better.. i dont care. see how that makes more sense than "i could care less"?
you dont like it which is fair enough.. each to their own

I dont understand why it is constantly considered their best and I cant believe that so many people love the album as well. There is such a ridiculous amount of filler on it......filler that is so bad that I cant even bare to listen to it. Besides for While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I dont consider any of the songs amongst their best. The songs do not flow well at all as an album either not too mention that they are not nearly as catchy as their other releases. The Beatles barely even worked together on the tunes. The only thing I that I find great about the album is that they experimented with other music and rock genres although some of the experimenting really did not work out too well for them.
may Christ have mercy on your soul young man!
I dunno, you say that there's a lot of filler and that might be true. but what might be filler to you (maybe Martha My Dear) might be someone else's favorite song on the album. I'd argue that Helter Skelter and Back in the USSR are two of the best rock songs ever. John has some great songs on it (Prudence, Sadie, Cry Baby Cry, Yer Blues), there's good acoustic stuff throughout (Blackbird, Mother Nature's Son, Julia, Long Long Long) and fun songs that don't take themselves too seriously.....and you shouldn't either (Birthday, Rocky raccoon, Why Don't We Do It in the Road, Honey Pie, Glass Onion).

"It's great...it sold...it's the bloody Beatles White Album! Shut up."

No skip tracks for me, all memorable. Okay scratch that, I'd toss out Good Night, that was a lame and cheesy closer
