Ah but LongHairedLady, now comes the hard part: you have to whittle it down to 14 songs.

Oh shite, I didn't even realize that! I guess that means that I can't do it then, because I wouldn't be able to take anything else off of that list. I would probably add "Don't Pass Me By" as well. So, double it is!

The White Album is not my favorite, so I had a bit of trouble coming up with more than 12 tracks while sticking to the rules and coming up with a listenable order. But I think I came up with a version that's pretty balanced between John/Paul songs. Here goes:

Side 1
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Dear Prudence
Glass Onion
Blackbird
Yer Blues
I Will
Julia

Side 2
Helter Skelter
Long, Long, Long
Mother Nature's Son
Revolution 1 (Take 20)
Martha My Dear
Cry Baby Cry
Good Night

I did cheat a bit with the Take 20 of Revolution 1. And I'd ...

Ah but LongHairedLady, now comes the hard part: you have to whittle it down to 14 songs.

I would take your list and pare it down to:

Back In The U.S.S.R.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
I'm So Tired
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Blackbird
Rocky Raccoon
Birthday
I Will
Julia
Yer Blues
Mother Nature's Son
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter

(I myself haven't completely followed the rules: only one Harrison song and no Ringo)

When I listen to the White Album, I find I skip more songs than on any other Beatles album.. (all together I only skip Mr. Moonlight, Run For Your Life, and Blue Jay Way, really).

Here's my supreme list:

Back In The U.S.S.R.
Dear Prudence
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Martha My Dear
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Piggies
Rocky Raccoon
Why Don't We Do It In The Road?
I Will
Julia
Birthday
Yer Blues
Mother Nature's Son
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Honey Pie
Cry Baby Cry

Honorable mention: Revolution 1. I prefer the single version.

This is impossible, but I'll do it, just for fun.

Not necessarily in this order (but I tried to pick 7 from each disc):

-Back in the USSR

-Dear Prudence

-Glass Onion

-Obladi Oblada

-While my guitar gently weeps

-Happiness is a warm gun

-Blackbird

-Yer Blues

-Mother nature's son

-[...] Me And My Monkey

-Helter Skelter

-Long, Long, Long

-Revolution 9 (...yes, I can't imagine the White Album without this "song")

-Good Night (just because it's a good ending IMHO)

I CAN'T DO IT!!! There are too many good songs on this album. I know that George Martin wanted it to be released as a single disc, but one of the good things about the album is the large amount of material it contains. I always discover something new whenever I listen to it!

I can't do it either. One of the great things about it is being a DOUBLE album and so much great material. I just can't imagine it any other way.
