Calling all Beatles fans, Re: The White Album

took the songs out of my mouth.

I agree for the most part, but...
I say: take out track 8 (Why Don't We Do It In The Road) and put in "Long, Long, Long".
I really kinda enjoy "Sexy Sadie", but I don't know where it would fit. "Savoy Truffle" seems to be a good culprit, but that song is too damn catchy!!
So maybe add "Sexy Sadie" between "Revolution 1" and "Savoy Truffle". That would make it 7 songs a side on L.P. ... nice and even!

I have to admit that the same subject has baffled me for many a boring class period...

Yeah i like sexy sadie but i find why dont we do it in the road really catchy! Never really liked Long Long Long, I always thought it was too quiet. It was a struggle to leave out Bunglaow Bill as well... Yoko's voice put me off tho'.

why is there beatles talk on a Pink FLoyd forum, not to be a square of anything but this has always perplexed me, and it has happened before? Personally i like the Floyd better the the Beatles so i really don't care about the white album

The description of this part of the forum is:

Music-related babbling...
Anything related to music in general, being other artists, types of music and everything else goes here.

So whats the problem!? If you dont wana no then ignore the post. im not tryna sound rude but there are people who DO like the Bealtes and DO like the White Album.

I'll always love "Back In The USSR", but the rest of it just depresses me now---reminds me of the Tate-LaBianca murders.

Don't be so wet, stratters,

Just skip over Helter Skelter and you should be fine.

I was in LA at the time of the murders, the manhunt, trial (aka set piece "trial of the century"), sentencing and imprisonment and I remember the furoré, but will I let that stop me listening to The White Album? I will not. D'ya think Terry Melcher sleeps well at night?


There also seems to be an abundance of porker avatars on this thread.

Hmmm..."KILL THE PIGS!"

Yeah, yer probably right, Boab...but, still, some of those other songs would creep me out now. (Sexy Sadie, Blackbird, Piggies)....It was long ago and far away when I owned that album... but I guess I'll have to go round up a copy; someone mentioned Savoy Truffle--that rocks. Glass Onion too, as I recall...

Interesting, I was in Hayward (bay area) at the time of the trial...I remember the "trixter" pronouncing Charlie "guilty" and about blowing the whole G-D trial to hell...entertaining stuff.

Yeah, I bet Terry has a loaded .45 Auto under his pillow to this day.... And I'll bet Dennis Wilson still has the creeps.....oh, that's right, he's dead.

"Ooh, you ARE awful...but I like you."

I don't know, call me a purist, I'd keep the White Album just the way it was

Although I believe it's great as it is, my 13 tracks would be:

Back In the USSR
Mother Nature's Son
Glass Onion
Why Don't We Do it In the Road
Blackbird
Yer Blues
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Dear Prudence
Cry Baby Cry
I'm So Tired
Heler Skelter
Long Long Long

Although maybe some tracks like Julia, Birthday, Everybody's Got Something ... would deserve to be included, too...
I guess that's why they made it a double album then
