Stronger, like Octopus' Garden, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Lovely Rita, and Good Morning?

GTFO.

Oh, I'd gladly take all of those over Good Night, Don't Pass Me By, Bungalow Bill, Wild Honey (Pie), Savoy Truffle, etc. Don't have to ask me twice. The two tracks from Sgt. Pepper are legitimately quite good.

But that's why this argument is ultimately pointless; you find worth in those White Album tracks and I think they're garbage. I'm sure, if you enjoy them, you can find some excuse to keep them around.

Extremely underrated.

Van Cleef · 09-01-2013, 08:44 AM

What about Cry Baby Cry?

LemonMelon · 09-01-2013, 01:10 PM

Also underrated and quite great. I've always been fond of it.

LMP · 09-01-2013, 07:07 PM

"Good Night" melts my heart. It has the earnestness of early Disney animated musical numbers.

Agreed. Prolly top 5 if not top 3 from the album!

cobl04 · 09-01-2013, 08:22 PM

How about some love for Everybody's Got Something to Hide...

lazarus · 09-02-2013, 03:46 AM

Well yeah, that's a standout. Every band member playing great on that one.

Exactly.

I love The Rolling Beetles - my favorite album is Exile On Abbey Road as well as The Who For Sale and The Kinks Sell Out.

The Rutles were a huge influence on The Rolling Beetles, as were ELO, Oasis, and the Monkees.

What's it like being the cleverest person alive?

LemonMirrorSky · 09-04-2013, 03:31 PM

Long Long Long is absolutely beautiful! You know, the white album really is a fantastic overall package. In my peak Beatles discovery years, Abbey Road and Revolver were my favourite albums. While they still remain in my top whatever albums list, the white album just has that special something that no other album of theirs has. It has this eclectic mix of weird and wonderful, experimental and pure pop, blues and country, dance-hall, even freaking heavy metal! And I don't care what anyone says... Revolution 9 is eight and a half minutes of bliss.
