one of the greatest albums ever.
my favorite beatles album
My favorite beatles song is not on there (I Want You (She's So Heavy)) but damn what a great collection of songs.
I was given abbey road and the magical mystery tour and sgt peppers when I was 12 by the british lady that was my mom's supervisor. I burned them into my friends and I's brains with repeated play. i then bought the white album and go the poster and the 4 pictures of the beatles and the album blew my mind. It was so fucking varied. I LOVE that. I enjoy albums that are similarly themed throughout, but I prefer albums that jump around, like a miox tape made by a spaz.
the white album has seminal hard rock/metal (helter skelter)
warped ska (ob la di ob la da)
freaked out psychedelia (wild honey pie)
throwback vaudeville music (martha my dear)
freaked out mash em up tape sickness (revolution 9) which sounds more prescient every single day
gorgeous sentimental music (Julia, Dear Prudence)
exploration sof human emotion and despair (I'm So Tired, Yer Blues)
the greatest guitar song ever (while my guitar gently weeps) (BTW, have you ever seen the tribute concert for george harrison where all the guitarists there take tunrs at while my guitar... and prince decides he is going to blow the shit out the fucking ROOF an explodes a LOOONG solo? fucking amazing.)
I could go on and on. every song blows my mind to this day and makes me feel GOOD
