Favorite Beatles tunes

[Vic2012]

I mentioned earlier that My White Album is pretty much all of it excluding Obla Di and Rev 9. Include the Ringo tracks in that excluded list. Poor Ringo . He was the first, really popular rock drummer of my generation (no argument about that), but I really can't think of too many Ringo songs (songs he sang or wrote) that were any good. Yellow Submarine would be my favorite Ringo song, and probably "I Wanna Be Yo Man" after that. I know he didn't write IWTBYM, he just sang on lead on it.

For me the cream of the White Album is:

1. "Back in the U.S.S.R." McCartney 2:43
2. "Dear Prudence" Lennon 3:56
3. "Glass Onion" Lennon 2:17
7. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (George Harrison) Harrison 4:45
8. "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" Lennon 2:43

Side two

1. "Martha My Dear" McCartney 2:28
3. "Blackbird" McCartney 2:18
5. "Rocky Raccoon" McCartney 3:33
7. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" McCartney 1:41

Side three

2. "Yer Blues" Lennon 4:01
3. "Mother Nature's Son" McCartney 2:48
4. "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" Lennon 2:24
5. "Sexy Sadie" Lennon 3:15
6. "Helter Skelter" McCartney 4:29
7. "Long, Long, Long" (Harrison) Harrison 3:04

Side four

1. "Revolution 1" Lennon 4:15
2. "Honey Pie" McCartney 2:41
3. "Savoy Truffle" (Harrison) Harrison 2:54
4. "Cry Baby Cry" Lennon, with McCartney 3:02

The following are nice songs. I've included them in my one-disk, White Album comp/CDr, but they're the tracks I'd cut (along with the Ringo tracks, Obla blah, and the horrible waste, Rev. 9) if the white album was to originally be a single album:

"Wild Honey Pie" McCartney 0:52
"The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" Lennon with Starr and Yoko Ono 3:14
"I'm So Tired" Lennon 2:03
"I Will" McCartney 1:46
"Piggies" (Harrison) Harrison 2:04
"Birthday" McCartney with Lennon 2:42
"Julia" Lennon 2:54
