My favorite Beatles album is Revolver, and Rubber Soul is number two, but the White Album probably comes in third. There's just some stuff on it like "Yer Blues" and "Revolution #9" and "I'm So Tired" that I like significantly more than much of the rest.

I find it hard not to agree with these points entirely. True genius transcends mode and time.

hmm, is it asking for a shit storm to say there's a couple of duds on there? its a some of their best and some of their worst record for me. i favour rubber soul, revolver and magical mystery tour then a tie between abbey rd and the white, for what its worth.

there are some tracks that aren't as great as the others (don't pass me by for example) but somehow they work in the bigger context so that i never skip them. the white album is much more than a sum of its parts. and most tracks are super good anyway. i really like the variety, like with most double albums.

my favourite Beatles song (A Day in the Life or Real Love) is obviously not on this record. But it doesn't matter. For me an album is about everything. The music, the mood, the images it strikes up, the album art. And in that way The White Album is masterpiece.

It's the only album of theirs that has some songs that i like.

Really? You don't like "Tomorrow Never Knows"? That surprises me.

The White Album is a masterpiece. No doubt about it, greatest work by the Beatles.

The "White Album" is an album by The Beatles. It is a double album that includes a number of songs. Paul McCartney wrote a tune that invented heavy metal and grunge at the same time. John Lennon did a Stockhausen influenced piece. George Harrison let Eric Clapton play on one of his songs (and in return, Clapton later shagged his wife). Ringo played the drums. Some say it's a work of art, others say otherwise. Me, I say it's....musty.
