If you took the White Album down to 18 tracks to equal the amount of songs to Exile, how would they stack up?
I think the White Album is pretty fantastic, although it's inconsistent and as a whole, doesn't have the "vibe" Exile does. However, what would your top 18 White Album tracks be for the sake of track to track competition w/ Exile?
MINE
1. Back in the USSR
2. Glass Onion
3. O-Bla-Di, O-Bla-Da
4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
5. Happiness is a Warm Gun
6. Blackbird
7. Rocky Racoon
8. Why Don't We Do it in the Road?
9. I Will
10. Julia
11. Birthday
12. Yer Blues
13. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
14. Helter Skelter
15. Revolution 1
16. Savoy Truffle
17. Cry, Baby, Cry
18. Dear Prudence
Would it stack up any better with Exile? |

George Martin always believed that there was far too much self indulgent fluff on that album and that it would have been far better as a single LP. He's absolutely right of course, although in the CD age, maybe it could still have worked if stretched out to the length of one CD. However, it just flows better when it has 'sides' like an LP does.
1. Back In the USSR
2. Dear Prudence
3. Glass Onion
4. Bungalow Bill
5. While my guitar gently weeps
6. Happiness is a warm gun
7. I'm So Tired
8. Blackbird
9. Piggies
10. Dont Pass Me By
11. I Will
12. Julia
13. Birthday
14. Yer Blues
15. Helter Skelter
16. Revolution 1
17. Revolution 9
18. Good Night
Even with that line up, it would still be only the 3rd best Beatles album behind 'Abbey Road' and 'Revolver' - and none of the three are as great as 'Exile' (although 'Abbey Road' runs it very close)

No fucking comparing, or "versus" or even equals.
Exile kicks it's faggoty ass.
Or, is it arse? |

It's 'arse'
As you chose to use the American term 'faggoty', the correct word to follow should be 'ass'
Had you said it in an English (and maybe Aussie) accent, it would have been it's "poofy arse"
happy to help. |

I'm a first-six-Beatles-albums kind of guy. Everything that follows, while often great, doesn't equal to the melodies and hooks they were able to churn out in those first three, glorious years. |

To compare anything with Rocky Raccoon and Obla Dee....on it versus Exile is doing a grave injustice to the majesty that is Exile.....What next?....Uncle Albert?? |

there should be no need to compare a scattered, crappy beatle album with only a few mediocre songs on it to the greatest album ever made |

Any album that contains Rocky Raccoon cannot be taken seriously...Who can't see that? |

Given my limited involvement here, and the terms of my Lotus Couch contract that allows me to only post my C material, trolling this site for stuff to copy must be like looking for Tolstoy at the Wal-Mart checkout counter

Sorry, The White Album is better. Exile rules though - I don't understand why so many people diss it. |

I agree with you Gazza, but leave on Revolution 9 while deleting Sexy Sadie? That's a classic as opposed to a Yoko tune. |

I found the White Album more immediately accessible but the sum of it's parts falls well short of Exile. Now how about
Rubber Soul vs. Let it Bleed? Try playing one after the other. |

Easy. Let It Bleed walks all over Rubber Soul.
But what about Between the Buttons vs. Magical Mystery Tour? These two 1967 psychedelic albums are excellent and it's difficult to say which is better. I'm on the fence on this queation.

Frankly, I can't think of one Rutles album that was released circa the same time as any Stones album that outdoes it. Then again, I'm a Stones fan. |

While I am one of the few on RO who likes the Beatles AND Stones, I find that post-1966 the Stones were superior. Early on, their LPs weren't the best representation of their sound because many were devoid of their awesome singles. So of the 1963-66 period, I prefer Aftermath, Rolling Stones Now! and England's Newest Hitmakers over Please Please Me, With the Beatles and Help but not the other ones. December's Children is more mediocre than any Beatles LP, IMO (unless the Yellow Submarine "soundtrack" counts) while Out of their heads, 12X5 only beat out Please Please Me and Help! in my books. But after Revolver?
Between the Buttons--->Sgt. Pepper
TSMR<-----Magical Mystery Tour (only cause of "side" 2)
Beggar's Banquet----->White Album
Let it Bleed----->Abbey Road
Sticky Fingers------>Let it Be |
