Wild Honey Pie 12:0.The Beatles is its official title, but everyone calls it the White Album, after its minimalist cover design the group name embossed, a stamped serial number, and nothing else. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da 8:57 5. 22, 1968, The Beatles' self-titled ninth album – famously known as the "White Album" for its blank album cover – has endured as the group's sprawling, experimental masterpiece.Like & subscribe for more albums Side 1 1. This makes for a frustratingly scattershot record or a singularly gripping musical experience, depending on your view, but what makes the so-called The Beatles White Album. Stephen Thomas Erlewine: ‘ Each song on the sprawling double album The Beatles is an entity to itself, as the band touches on anything and everything it can.
Critiquing this song is like critiquing "Happy Birthday To You," but at least the song marginally rocks. "Birthday"In contrast, "Birthday" is one of the album's least-forgettable tracks, thanks to its transcendence into a happy-birthday anthem. "Martha My Dear"McCartney allegedly named "Martha My Dear" after his dog, which is really the only memorable thing about this somewhat-forgettable "White Album" track. "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill""Bungalow Bill" is the point on the quality scale where the "White Album" filler tracks start to tip from frivolous to endearing, though, like "Wild Honey Pie," really didn't need to be in the album's first six tracks. "Savoy Truffle"Another song that falls into the category of the Beatles just wasting time is "Savoy Truffle," famously inspired by Eric Clapton's love of chocolate, though perhaps Clapton himself would agree that it isn't the most compelling topic for a song. "Piggies"Between the harpsichord and the oinking in the background, "Piggies" is not George Harrison's best.

"Sexy Sadie"Lennon originally wrote this track to take shots at the Beatles' associate Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, but "Maharishi" became "Sexy Sadie" in the writing process, and voila, one of the band's best kiss-off songs was born. "I’m So Tired"An absolute Lennon classic, written as he was sobering up (and likely going through withdrawal) in India, in which he turns his crankiness into songwriting gold. "Long, Long, Long"Apologies to "Julia" and "I Will," but it's Harrison's love song – which he later revealed was an ode to God – that's the best on the album. "Glass Onion"Here, Lennon offered up a cheeky answer to the fans obsessed with the band's mythology, wrapped in a quintessentially Beatles-sounding track.
"Blackbird"Famously known as music's most-covered song, this McCartney staple didn't get that reputation for not being a near-flawless song. 7. "Back In The USSR""Back In The USSR" is McCartney in rockstar mode, offering his tongue-in-cheek take on the Beach Boys' "California Girls" with a twist. "Revolution 1"Of the album's 30 songs, it has seven indisputable classics, with "Revolution 1" kicking off the list of top-tier "White Album" tracks with its meandering early take on what would become one of the Beatles' most famous singles.
1 song, and it's Harrison's crown jewel of the "White Album," a song that's come to define not just his legacy, but the band's, an embarrassment of riches contained in its tight sub-five-minute runtime. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"There can only be one No. "Helter Skelter"McCartney's best Beatles vocals come on the band's hardest-rocking tracks, with poor Ringo's cries that he has "blisters on his fingers" an appropriate casualty for a song this good. "Dear Prudence""Dear Prudence" is the most Beatles-y track on the "White Album," a song – which is actually about Mia Farrow's younger sister refusing to leave her room in India – that's the perfect ideal of the band's trademark sound.
