MMT is the most underrated after Let it be. Quote:
1. Let it be 2. MMT 3. Pepper 4. Rubber Soul 5. Revolver 6. Abbey Road (love /hate relationship) 7. The White album. Unfortunately not my favorite like John's. I must be missing something. Maybe it's cause he concentrated on lyrics. 8. Help! 9. The Beatles for sale 10. With the Beatles 11. A hard day's night 12. Please please me 13. Yellow sub |

So, I've been listening to the Beatles lately, and it seems to me Abbey road is by far the best thing they've ever done.
But what I wanted to know is, what's up with the heaps of praise for The White Album? In its 1.5h, I can find maybe 2 songs which stand out (Obla-di and While my guitar gently weeps) but even those are not close to the top of their songwriting. Why is this album considered one of the best of the era? Is it about the lyrics? ![]()

I think it's the diversity. People (I'm thinking casual listeners mainly) remember their standout tracks displaced from the bloated album and assume it's the best album.
I would've cut it down to: Helter Skelter Back in the U.S.S.R Revolution 1 Happiness Is a Warm Gun Birthday Rocky Raccoon Martha My Dear Dear Prudence Julia While My Guitar Gently Weeps Start off heavy then mellow out. Like a fat baby.

I mean I still don't get it because none of those tracks are outstanding, and they had plenty of outstanding tracks, on other albums or singles. Which is how I guess I would judge albums normally.
And what do we think about the Naked version of Let it be? Just gave it a listen, seems to be a bit of an improvement on the original, more mellow and better sequenced, to my untrained, not-a-big-fan ears. Hmm? ![]()

Nah, I only chose great tracks. Music taste generally being variable probably explains why people have varying opinions on the album.

Happiness Is a Warm Gun While My Guitar Gently Weeps All outstanding Beatles tracks in my books. Let It Be Naked is nice as a novelty and an attempt to capture the original aesthetic of the album, but I've grown up with the original Spector-laden album and I prefer it that way. |
