Jeeze...people don't really know alot about the White Album. Some guy's claiming Revolution 9 was the first song with backwards masking, although Lennon himself says that Rain was which was released a while before the white album. And that it was Lennon's idea to speed up Revolution.

And to Jacaranda saying that Revolution #9 being mostly John's creation a reason why Paul was better. I believe Wild Honey Pie was mainly Paul McCartney song. People can listen to Revolution #9 for the interesting factor, Wild Honey Pie should have never been released.

But still on the topic of the white album, why not make a fantasy list of what you would have chosen to be on a single disc? A best of the white album I guess you could call it. Mine would be (in no particular order).

Dear Prudence
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Julia
Everybody's Got Something to hide...
Yer blues
Helter Skelter
Cry Baby Cry
Long, Long, Long

I think that would have made for one pretty solid album. Although I enjoy the album as it is.

That's a pretty solid list. I can't really think of anything I'd change on it actually.

Damn I'm good...Bron-Yr-Aur commented on my top 10 beatles song list saying that I made his list song by song.

well it'd have to fit on an LP (45 minutes I think was the max)....

Add Sexy Sadie to that list, and you got a deal.

I hesitated over whether or not to add that song, it was a heartbreaking decision.

Add unto that list Sexy Sadie, Savoy Truffle, Glass Onion, and Martha My Dear.

Savoy Truffle is such a great song.

I would add Rocky Racoon, remove I'm So Tired.

Savoy Truffle annoys me. And by the time people are done adding songs were gonna have the white album minus wild honey pie, and revolution 9. Glass Onion is a cool track because of it's lyrical content, and Martha My Dear is just catchy filler.

Wow, I think I might beat you up.

Glass Onion

That's my White Album. I just took the three songs off the second disc I liked, took off a few from the first that aren't my favorite, and I have 45 minutes.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]The extended editions extra songs really suck though or the alt. versions I think they are.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I agree it really doesn't serve a purpose to have 50 Isn't It A Pity's and 300 My Sweet Lord's

[QUOTE=Bron-Yr-Aur]Wow, I think I might beat you up.[/QUOTE]

Yes sir. Anyone read about the latest beatle news? Apparantley they've found some 500 lost tapes.

Interesting.

Does anyone remember that one guy who knew immense amounts of stuff about the Beatles and posted here? What was his name? Is he ever going to post again? I kinda miss him.

Yeah that guy was awesome. Too bad he hasn't been around lately.

Well that was a mood killer. We need another exciting topic. What about that Anthology eh! What's everyones favourite disc? Or "new" song tha came with them? I only have the first collection of music from their early days. And I regret getting it because the other one's seem like they have better things on them. Although the outtakes on it are pretty great to listen to.

And between the two songs I'd probably say that Real Love is my favourite.

Free as a Bird is awesome....it has an epic feel to it, and I like epic songs....

I only own Anthology 1, though I do have Real Love.

"We can work it out" would be the coolest song if you put a heavy vibe to it. DON"T STEAL THIS IDEA!

Too bad its already their coolest song.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]Too bad its already their coolest song.[/QUOTE]
I dunno about coolest, the Beatles have SO many good songs, its really crazy if you think about it. Their good song/bad song ratio is probably the highest ever recorded, lol.

That's an interesting idea but I think the song is much better as it is.

I sense another White album shot from Jac coming...

You were right but I decided to let it slip.
:/

Restraint??? Boooo. I enjoy your sarcasm.:(

So...Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and Monkey is pretty great underrated track eh.

indeed, its a rocker!

I'm pissed....the Wikipedia entry had the coolest picture of the Fab Four, about the White Album era, but now its of the '64 Beatles. I wanted that other pic really bad.

Yeah Everybodys Got Something To Hide is a track I really enjoy on the White Album.

Hey everyone check this out it's a really great cover of For You Blue!
