The rambling mess that is the "White Album" - only about 50% of it is really any good - which 50% is anybody's call. I always skip "Rocky Racoon", "Why Don't We Do It In The Road", "Honey Pie", "Don't Pass Me By" - and if I never hear "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-lar-de-dah" it'll be too soon.

and let's not forget greats such as 'Mother Nature's Son'..
..but seriously, TWA is a fun, great sounding album that continued their tradition of rule breaking with relish (it was actually criticized for being "unprofessional" , and thank God it was). Probably the best Beatles party album.. great stuff.

The others, "Pepper" apart, are a lot more coherent - and "Magical Mystery Tour" is now officially my favourite (my MFSL half-speed high quality recording arrived today ).

Man, Rubber Soul is my second favorite (behind the white album), yes even more than Abbey Road. How can you do this to such a great album? Please I voted for Revolver, which isn't as timeless or as interesting as any of the albums, and you should too.
Man, I do love the later rounds of the "vote for your least favorite" elimination type things...

no Beatles album deserves to be shot off, bring the rest back up and pronounce them all king of the hill.
Beatles rule for all time

it's a shame that 'magical mystery tour' is eliminated, it's their best album after Sgt Pepper!
on topic: the white album has to go

nou... mag ik het niet nog een keertje overdoen?
