Re: Rank The White Album
like probably most everybody's list, I started with the ones I really like and ended with the ones I'd never consider playing -- at least not a second time. Everything else is in the middle in some order or another. (Now revised with borders. This is an inexact science).

I'm already fascinated by the diverse views, there's barely any agreement at all. You just don't get that with most albums!

Re: Rank The White Album
I own this one. I can't remember if "Honey Pie" or "Wild Honey Pie" was the one that stood out for as being one of the worst songs I've ever heard.
"Revolution No 9" is the best, because I'm edgy, and because it is.
"Revolution No 9" is the best, because I'm edgy, and because it is.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

One features the yelling of "Honey Pie" and one features Macca in full Tin Pan Alley mode...Neither are very good...
