The Beatles(White Album)
The Beatles(White Album) released in 68 is creatively, musically & artistically the Beatles true masterpiece with its back to basics approach to rock, pop, blues, folk & a little avant garde which defines the Beatles during their late 60's period as well as being one of the greatest double albums in rock history speaking as a dedicated Beatles fan more so than the highly overrated & highly overpraised Sgt. Pepper!!!

What part of that did we not know?sigpic

Actually, if they had cut some of the more self-indulgent tracks from the running order it would have been easily better than "Sgt. Pepper", which I always feel is over-rated.
Stuff like "Revolution No.9" and "Why don`t we do it in the road" now sounds like arseing about.
The album might also be too eclectic, maybe one of the most stylisticly wide-ranging ever, from the rock of "Revolution" through the country of "Don`t pass me by" and old style western"Rocky racoon" via 50`s revial "Happiness is a warm gun" and gentle acoustic numbers like "Blackbird" and "Julia" to name but a few.
All great stuff.
However, I would pick "Revolver" as my top Beatles album.sigpic

My favorite Beatles albums are probably Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul, and Abbey Road. I still go back to Sgt. Pepper though, for repeated listenings.Comment

The White Album has always been my favorite Beatles album, just on the strength of amazing Lennon tracks like "Happiness is a warm gun" and "So Tired". Yeah there IS some shit on the album(most notably certain Paul drivel), but there is an overwhelming amount of cool material.Comment

Side two of "Abbey Road", particularly the medley of short songs, is amazing.
One of the best pieces of songwriting and arranging ever.
However, I always felt side one wasn`t as good.sigpic

One of the ten best of all time, I reckon.
Right up there with Pet Sounds, What's Goin' On, Highway 61, etc.Comment

Sgt. Pepper is known as the Beatles psychedelic masterpiece even though Revolver should take that title completely, but the White Album is the Beatles TRUE masterpiece which defines them during the late 60's!!!Comment

I don't think the White Album is their masterpiece. I don't find it cohesive enough to be considered their masterpiece.
Revolver or Rubber Soul were fan more cohesive, with nary a duff track.Comment
