Yeah, I'd gladly skip Honey Pie as well ![]() I love the White Album. I love its free and fun eclecticism and wealth of material, regardless of the status of the band at the time. Most of what I considered duds initially have grown on me...Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da and Honey Pie are still rather painful experiences though. I'd include it in my top 3 alongside Abbey Road and Revolver. |

THis is more or less what I think. They are certainly my favourite Beatles albums. The White Album has been my favourite for years and MMT has recently grown on me. One difference is that I love Baby you're a Rich Man but because it reminds me of being very young and listening to my Uncle's single over and over and over again! And not having heard the EPs i'm not over bothered about the inclusion of the singles.
I wouldn't change a thing about The White Album not a duff track on it. I even love.... oh well I won't say as it doesn't matter.
(AND because what flipping right have I got to change it anyway) Edited by akamaisondufromage - April 02 2013 at 13:14 |

The lack of development in Lennon's and Macca's music after The White Album coincides with the replacement of the Lennon/McCartney collaboration with the Lennon/Ono partnership. I guess Paul and John needed each other to progress individually and together.
Just an idea and for the record. Edited by earlyprog - April 03 2013 at 06:53 |

Except Lennon and McCartney was a financial partnership, not a colaboration - they rarely worked together on a song - the basic maxim with Lennon & McCartney songs is "whoever sang it wrote it" (who smelt it dealt it)

Lennon and McCartney worked closely together on songs in the early years, rarely in the latter years. In fact they worked together more closely than often portrayed in public. This is documented in Lennon's first wife Cynthia's book "John".

One of my favourite stories about Lennon & McCartney is from the late 70s. Paul was visiting John, and they were watching "Saturday Night Live" on TV. On the show, an offer of $200 dollars was made for The Beatles to reunite and perform on the show. Knowing the TV studio was local, Paul and John considered actually going down there and doing it, but decided they were too tired. One of those little 'what if' moments in music history - if only they hadn't been too tired!
Back to The White Album - what does everyone think of Richard Hamilton's artwork?

Whatever - it was long time before November 1968 so your claim that "[t]he lack of development in Lennon's and Macca's music after The White Album coincides with the replacement of the Lennon/McCartney collaboration with the Lennon/Ono partnership" is not wholely accurate.

Admittedly, I announced a quadruple Beatles album (edit - for clarity:) . However, forgetting all the singles (gosh, they were really, really great.......hmmm), I probably should have made it a pentagon (?) album.
Hence, before annoucing my 5 albums, I would like to ask for yours? Or at least your conceptual pentagon (OR is that ""pentagle?) album (perhaps along the lines: 1 Rockers 2 Folk Rockers 3 Vaudeville and other Awkwards 4 Out of the extraordinary (prog?).
Assumption: exclude the Lady Madonna single! or what do you think? this is more like Magical Myszrey To (obviously, I´m drunk by now!)...but very ...I forgot what I was going to say.....Chers!
I Love You...æøå Edited by earlyprog - April 04 2013 at 18:56 |

I can't stand the Phil Spector-ized original release of Let it Be...those cheezy strings ruin some great songs. I'll take the "Let it Be...Naked" release any day.
