But the White Album really does feel like a "Look what we can do" kind of album. [editline]6th August 2011[/editline] Wow this is the first time I've been ninja'd in this thread since 2010.
Like Hobo and AK'z said before, the White Album was a dick waving contest. After being away from the studio in India for a good long while and having wrote tons of songs all four just came back and shoved all the songs down on the table. Don't get me wrong, I love the White Album, but since most songs are some of the biggest songs in the Beatles extensive selection, (Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter, Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc.) it doesn't exactly sit right. It's kinda like a big "Fuck you, we're still alive and well, Music Industry!"
See it more as a compilation of their sessions. Weird how it caused anger because I don't know what they were thinking. It's not like The Wall where something was driving a story, this is the WHITE ALBUM.
Pretty much. I agree on the compilation part, it's just a bunch of REALLY good songs. That's why it's just so simple. You went to the record store, saw a solid white album, and upon closer inspection saw "The Beatles" on it. You buy it, and you get to listen to them doing some of their best work.
My dad loved the white album, but I never liked it too much. I like listening to albums all in one sitting and it's just so incredibly long. I can't stay focused on the music, I'll just start daydreaming when it hits things like Piggies.
The White Album isn't something I'd deliver my thorough attention throughout. I played that album at a party once, was great because it does seem like a clean compilation of their efforts. There's not a place where I can say "I'm gonna turn this off".
I turn it off when Revolution 9 comes on.
It's not that crazy, it's kind of atmospheric and nice :>
I can't dance/jam to it. So no thanks.
If you headbang to "NUMBER NINE" then it works.
Revolution 9 Techno Remix.
I'd love to see someone do a remix of Revolution 9. We must contact DeadMau5.

[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;31597724]I'm starting to get more and more into the early beatles I might pick up live at the BBC[/QUOTE] I preffer their solo work, but that is just my opinion ofcourse.
I used to really want to buy Live at the BBC for some reason and I can't remember why.
I believe that all the 1995 stuff is some of the best Beatles work even though they were originally John Lennon demos

Are those from the Target series glasses?
I'm not sure. Picked them up at a different store lol
Oh. they look exactly like the ones for the Target series. there were like eight sets and they only sold two each month for four months. Now you can't get them anymore. Rolling Stones series is next I think.
