THE BEATLES "the beatles" aka "the white album" , vinyl,cd. 1968

pretty hard to add something new that hasnt already been said a million times about these guys or this album...
i did find one little fact i didnt know though, and that is the tune "goodnight" was actually written by john, i'd always thought that whimsical ditty had Paul's mark all over it!,
and we all know that this was the album that drove Manson's "family" to commit mass murder, and that Paul had to attend court to explain the meaning behind "helter skelter" as the Family had scrawled "healter skelter" on their crime scenes in the victim's blood...ok, enough of the gore...back to the album...
there are a few songs on this one that deal with either death,suicide or murder, its a very dark album lyrically, even Paul McCartney's usual happy-go-lucky songs are absent here(ob-la-di-ob-la-da,martha my dear probably the exceptions)....
"dear prudence" was actually written for Mia Farrow's little sister Prudence by john whilst seeking guidance from the Maharishi in India......
i think john Lennon's wordplay really hit new heights with this album, things like "cry baby cry","happiness is a warm gun" and "glass onion" are superb imagery songs.
even Gorge comes out with a classic to rival anything the other two ever wrote in "while my guitar gently weeps", which has Eric Clapton on lead guitar...
four absolute shocking Beatle tracks on here IMO, "wild honey pie","why dont we do it in the road","long long long" and that stupid nine minute collage of sounds called "revolution #9"....very avante-guard!, i guess though, other than that stupid #9 thing, the only realy criticism i have of this album would be, i'd have rather heard the more rockin' version of "revolution" on here(b-side of Hey Jude) instead f the melloed out version, just thought it would have sounded better...
look, i was always impressed with this album from the first time i heard it, and frankly, i stillget the same feel for it after all these decades down the road...a true classic album does that year in,year out, which makes this one "a true classic"!
seriously i cannot pick a favourite off this one, couldnt even pick five ahead of the rest, this is just a superb album..its chaotic and messy,yet sublimely coherrant all at the same time....much like The Beatles themselves!

YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY, MR. CRAZY-HORSE!!!!!

Of all the Beatle albums this is the one I have listened to the most! The thing about the Beatles is that they always had a lot of superb songs on each album! I can truthfully say that I do not know of any band that had such a tremendous and impressive songbook! Dylan is the only artist I can cite however the public in general are not all that familiar with his gigantic catalogue!

[CRAZY-HORSE]

the thing i find most astonishing about The Fab Four is that if you listen to their albums in chronological order there is a definate and remarkable natural progression in their writing on each album both lyrically,vocally and musically
i thinkive always said on this forum that The White Album, Abbey Road and Revolver are my three favourites...and each time i hear them just reinforces that....

as for people saying,"the white album would have made a brilliant single album"...i dont think it would have, it wouldnt have been the white album had it not have been what it is....i really think John Lennon was at his best on this one(overall) and Paul wasnt far behind him!

Jethro Tull - Dot Com - not quite as good as their other stuff but Mr Anderson never really delivers a bad product.

Isn't it true! Jethro Tull's music always hits the mark!

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN "lucky town" cd, 1992

i know ive often said on this forum that i didnt think The Boss had ever made a bad album IMO, but i forgot this terrible one...not sure the companion album "human touch" would fair much better neither????
these songs on this one just sound "off", not sure if it is the music or his vocal performance, but something has always sounded wrong with this album???, its certainly not the lyrical content, as Bruce still puts in a good effort in those...
sort of sounds like he is stuggling to find his way here, not quite sure if he wants to be the rocker-Boss we all knew to that point in his career or still undecided about turning into the rocker/folky he seems to have evolved into since then...
either way, this album is a dissapointment with not one "classic" Springsteen track to be seen!

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: lucky town
best track: souls of the departed

tracks:

1. better days **
2. lucky town *
3. local hero **
4. if i should fall behind **
5. leap of faith **
6. the big muddy *
7. living proof *
8. book of dreams *
9. souls of the departed **
