I tend to know their singles really well, having parents who were in high school and college in the 60s and all, which is why I'm more interested in exploring whole albums. Of the three you mentioned I like one quite a bit ("Happiness is a Warm Gun"), am fairly neutral about one ("Strawberry Fields Forever") and can't stand one ("Paperback Writer")

Funnily enough I've actually had the white album on vinyl for years. It's the only Beatles album I've ever owned, though obviously I've heard most or all of them at throughout my life.
