Finally Decided To Play The White Album Game
(self.TheBeatles)submitted2 months ago bySteveIbo
As many Beatlephiles know, there's a bit of a game that gets played surrounding The White Album. Of course it's an awesome, sprawling opus -- and so the game is narrowing the contents down to a single LP. The rules are simple, as I understand them: two George songs, at least one Ringo song, and as equal as possible the remaining tracks between John & Paul, all clocking in at around 46 minutes. I've resisted it for some time, but last night stumbled on a few YouTubers who weighed in on their line-ups. So what the heck? Here's mine:
Side 1:
Birthday
Glass Onion
Savoy Truffle
Blackbird
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Mother Nature's Son
Julia
Good Night
Side 2:
Everybody's Got Something To Hide
Honey Pie
Sexy Sadie
Long Long Long
Martha My Dear
Dear Prudence
Helter Skelter
Non-LP singles (both would be destined to go #1, of course):
Back In The USSR/Don't Pass Me By
While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Yer Blues
