But here goes.

Side 1
Back in the USSR
Glass Onion
Martha My Dear
Blackbird
Julia
Happiness is a Warm Gun
I'm So Tired


Side 2
Revolution 1
Dear Prudence
Birthday
I Will
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie

rrfpacker, I knew you were gonna say that to Cowboy, ha ha.

btw I agree with Cowboy - all of them

Cowboy,

Somehow I knew you'd say that. It's hard to choose isn't it. But if you HAD to, which would you keep?

all of them

back in the ussr....dear prudence....guitar weeps....warm gun....martha....
so tired....blackbird....dont pass me by....i will....julia....birthday....
mother natures son....monkey....helter skelter....long long long

I remember when it came out - just before Christmas I think it was, coz I am sure we never played any Christmas records that year. The Beatles album was played and played and replayed over again and again. And yes I seem to recall we lifted the needle to skip Rev9.
All the tracks are fond memories - alright some are better than others but that's not the point. In though days you put on an album and played it. No manufactured playlists, you simply played it all [mostly] and you learnt them off by heart. You knew the whole album. Prolly still know the words today.

That last post was spam, I've since deleted it.

Much has been written about the White Album. I like it just the way it is, except for Revolution 9.

George Martin is on record saying he wanted a single album of the strongest songs. Which songs would you choose?

My choices
Side 1
Glass Onion
Savoy Truffle
Happiness is a Warm Gun
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
I'm So Tired
Piggies
Savoy Truffle

Side 2
Birthday
I Will
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Goodnight

I would have released two singles from the available tracks;

Back in the USSR w/Rocky Raccoon
While My Guitar Gently Weeps w/Dear Prudence

Then I would have put some of the others on Let It Be which is a very weak album.
