Glass onion comes on

>glass onion comes on

THE WALRUS WAS PAUL

>Ob la di comes on

glass onion is easily in the better half of songs on the white album

>half of the songs on The White Album come on

>birthday comes on

confession to mu: i don't think the white album has any more filler than their usual albums
maybe even less, proportionally
it's just that it's so diverse that not every song can appeal to everyone

...

the loop at the end of Day in the Life doesn't come on

so do you prefer disc one or disc two?

>Long Long Long comes on

> Happiness is a Warm Gun comes on

not a big fan of the white album desu. Hardly any of the songs are fleshed out, and most of them are gimmicks

Are you fucking stupid or something? You think literal studio bullshit noise is music? Fucking off yourself.

Strong argument to be made for this. I have other personal favorites, but this is a fantastic song. My other vote would go to It's All Too Much.

Did you just find a track listing and randomize it? No sane person would order these songs like this.

What the fuck did you fucking do to Long Long Long that's the best song they ever made you lil bitch.

>I'm so Tired comes on

Easily my favorite track on the White.

dammit, didn't mean to leave Long, Long, Long that low as I was pasting names in there.

I'd place it between Back in the U.S.S.R. and Don't Pass Me By there

I love I'm So Tired.

It, and a lot of songs on this album, has this really sluggish, weary, moody, burnt-out vibe as the 60s and The Beatles are coming to an end and kind of hints at a darkness really creeping in.

Kind of has the vibe the air / life has when you're coming to a dramatic, bitter end of a dragged-out relationship that you're still toxically attached to.

My father always saw the record as being really dark―not too far off when compared to their other albums and with songs like Helter Skelter, Long, Long, Long, Revolution 1 and 9, WMGGW, Yer Blues, Rocky Raccoon, HIAWG, etc. And the recording history, as you mentioned.

I'm sure he's had like 50 bad trips to this record on top of it.

not a bad list

I have a soft spot for Don't Pass Me By, but I think that's a personal preference

ringo a shit
horrible pointless vapid shallow lyrics a 10 year old couldve written and the fucker couldnt even sing

Piggies is okay. There's nothing on the album I really dislike, it's just that there's a lot I like much more.

There is something in Piggies that has that 'White Album' atmosphere that I like about everything on the album.

It really is a very dark album. It's the sound of having been doing drugs with the same group of people for a while and being sick of them, and less benevolent parts of your own personality starting to surface. It also coincided with the collective darkening and burnout of a lot of people by the end of the 60s. And then of course Charles Manson casts a shadow over the album too, and for some reason, there is kind of a Manson-y vibe to it, the atmosphere of a lot of people joining fucked up cults or going schizo.

My dad was a hippie traveling the US in the early 70s and he says it could be pretty dark out there. I was a road hippie type myself for a few years and I saw some shit.

I like the rickety mining town saloon feel to the song, and the simplistic lyrics, and Ringo's simple delivery fits it

Well, Ringo IS developmentally disabled.

What more could you expect?

I think that's what I like about it as well. It's just a plonky unabashed song about love, doubt, and shame. Unlike Paul's Grand 'Ole Opry stuff, Don't Pass Me By feels less constructed and therefore more authentic.

and they always used his Ringo-ness well, when they did. don't ask more of a Ringo song than it can deliver, but it's suitable in its own capacity

I thought he was a great drummer though, one of those who delivered exactly what was right, which is how it's done

just to clarify

Good Night was the precursor to Spiritualized

>all these people hating Birthday

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

>le White Album "filler" meme

Shit, I didn't mean to imply that, sorry.

I am not the original poster. I'm someone to took their format and apparently ruined it.

It's like listening to Christmas music in June.

lol its ok just wanted to clarify cos it seemed like you implied that

revolution 9 is great though

>gag songs and serious songs in random order

WEW

The fact that "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey" is so high makes me laugh my fucking ass off. I love that song for ironic reasons but fucking hell that song is so bad. Wew lad.

Wild Honey Pie is my favorite song on the album. It sounds like sung tongs

Stupid Johnposter

it's a pretty good song with a great performance
would you think the same way if the lyrics were different?

this lol

Am I the only one that loves Rocky Raccoon and Goodnight?

It's called musique concrète you fucking philistine and it's objectively way better than most of The Beatles songs. You are the one who needs to fucking kill himself for having shit taste and opinions. Just hang yourself, shitscum.

I like Rocky Raccoon a lot. It's a good song.

Goodnight is a cute novelty tacked on. But it really does sound like something Spiritualized could have done as I said earlier.

It's like some people regard Rocky Raccoon as a throwaway novelty song because of the name, but it's pretty and poignant and develops nicely.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is better than it gets rated too. Especially if you don't listen to it as reggae because it's such off-reggae. It's just a weird, enjoyable thing in itself.

And Bungalow Bill - the name and its childishness and fake womens' voices make it seem kind of novelty, but the almost sinister verses have that creeping White Album-sy menace to it (kind of like the weed-paranoia vibe to Glass Onion or I'm So Tired) and end in those weird diminished chords later Beatles songs sometimes go into.

Dear Prudence and While my guitar gently weeps, happiness is a warm gun, back in the ussr, julia... All great. I also like Rocky Raccoon.

The 100% accurate rankings right here, prove me wrong

Shit forgot Rocky Raccoon
That would go above I Will but still in Paul's Granny Music Tier

still missing 2

Shit which ones

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

I'm So Tired
Long Long Long

>there are people RIGHT NOW in this thread that think Matha My Dear isn't one of the best songs in the album

>john would disagree with bashing paul's granny music

Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially.

Beatles' "Aryan" music removed any trace of black music from rock and roll. It replaced syncopated African rhythm with linear Western melody, and lusty negro attitudes with cute white-kid smiles.

Contemporary musicians never spoke highly of the Beatles, and for good reason. They could never figure out why the Beatles' songs should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that the Beatles were simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to "Beatlemania", which had nothing to do with their musical merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in their (mediocre) musical endeavours to this day. Nothing else grants the Beatles more attention than, say, the Kinks or the Rolling Stones. There was nothing intrinsically better in the Beatles' music. Ray Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better songwriter than Lennon & McCartney. The Stones were certainly much more skilled musicians than the 'Fab Four'. And Pete Townshend was a far more accomplished composer, capable of entire operas such as "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia"; not to mention the far greater British musicians who followed them in subsequent decades or the US musicians themselves who initially spearheaded what the Beatles merely later repackaged to the masses.

No one in the rolling stones was better than George Harrison on guitar buddy.

And Lennon's lyrics destroyed anything Ryan Davis and the Kinks did.

Daily reminder shit like Bungalow Bill was chosen above All Things Must Pass
