I always thought Happiness Is a Warm Gun sounded like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

There are around 5-6 songs on the record that I can take or leave. If I was brutal, I could cut the White Album down to the 15 tracks (approximately) I really like a lot. I felt a little differently about it when I was younger. I was less critical and more easy-going about music.

The songs I really, really like from The White Album:

Back in the U.S.S.R.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Martha My Dear
Blackbird
Birthday
Yer Blues
Mother Nature's Son
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Revolution 1
Honey Pie
Savoy Truffle

I couldn't decide whether to include Piggies. Dear Prudence, Julia, I Will and Good Night are nice, but don't make my cut.

Just heard Love for the first time today, and to be honest, I almost preferred it to the studio albums. Some incredible work by Sir George Martin.

Sgt. Pepper's. Never been a huge Beatles fan. But I have always liked this album. I can listen to every track and not grow tired of it.

Surprised to see Abbey Road up there. Ding dong maxwells silver hammer knocks it down a few pegs in my book. Revolver is a more solidly great album.

A lot of people diss Paul's goofy songs, but I tend to like them. They always add a lot more variety to their albums.

My personal favorites are Stg Pepper's, Abbey Road and Revolver. I like the transition between the songs in Abbey Road, is sounds as a single music piece.
