The Beatles Survivor #11 Winner: WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS!!!

[petsoundsnola]

Goodbye, Bunghole Bill.

[Emily]

Bungalow Bill.

[pixletwin]

The writing was clearly on the wall. This was the beginning of the end...

We are going to split the album in two, so round #11 is Disc 1 and round #12 will be Disc 2.

The Beatles, also known as the White Album, is the ninth studio album by English rock group the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. A double album, its plain white sleeve has no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed,[a] which was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's earlier Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Although no singles were issued from The Beatles in Britain and the United States, the songs "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" originated from the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in August 1968. The album's songs range in style from British blues and ska to tracks influenced by Chuck Berry and by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

On release, The Beatles received favourable reviews from the majority of music critics, but other commentators found its satirical songs unimportant and apolitical amid the turbulent political and social climate of 1968. The band and Martin have since debated whether the group should have released a single album instead. Nonetheless, The Beatles reached number one on the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States and has since been viewed by some critics as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Who said they prefer Paul's songs in WA to John's? Yet pick Paul's songs to go, really?

Vote, RangeRoverA1!

It's just a game, play, relax, and have fun.

This. 

[RangeRoverA1]

Well I figured NOLA BB Fan will recognize I mean her

I like a lot more of the "Paul" songs on the White album as opposed to the "John" ones.

Yet she voted "Rocky Raccoon". Strange.

She didn't say she liked all the Paul songs bettern than anything else.

But whatever. Why are you so worried about a game which you haven't been playing?

VOTE > Whinging

[RangeRoverA1]

I'd like if she answers herself. Don't know why people interfere all the time when I ask smb. else question. But, maybe you're right. Curious about NOLA BB Fan's reply. As to voting, it's voluntary & this game didn't end yet. Some people don't play every round. Edit: I knew you'd agree. As the saying says, "silence is sign of agreement". Btw, I looked up that word, "whinging". As everybody knows, I am not native English speaker. To whinge means "to complain", not "to ask people questions" - & on topic too, mind you. I'm very curious about things & like asking people various questions. Why we must boringly just pick least favorite song when we can discuss too? I think it's good thing, don't you?

[NOLA BB Fan]

No I don't like Rocky Raccoon. Never have. Yeah it's a "Paul" song.
My two favorites in this section of the White Album are Blackbird and Martha My Dear. Who wrote those?

Anyway, am really preoccupied right now with the situation in Texas right now, with a number of dear friends in harm's way. So won't be posting much on SS other than sending positive vibes to Billy Castillo.

Definitely. This is a discussion board. But vote. VOTE. V O T E !!!!

[petsoundsnola]

Bye Bye, Rocky Raccoon!

[jiggy22]

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da gets my vote!
