Granted, I've only been a big-time Beatles fan for less than a year, so my opinions are liable to change. But here's the scoreboard so far.
- Still My Guitar Gently Weeps -- My favorite Beatles song. This masterpiece just speaks for itself.
- Happiness Is A Warm Gun -- Dreamy, orgasmic, subdued, bitter, witty. That's Lennon.
- Helter Skelter -- Excellent hard abrasive rock song. Should've been the 1st or 2nd track.
- Revolution 1 -- Pretty iconic, listenable, acknowledge's the bands place in the counterculture.
- Piggies -- This may be most angelic gorgeous little passive-aggressive piece ever.
- Back In The USSR -- This is the frantic energetic Paul that I love.
- Dear Prudence -- Has a nice grungy sound.
- Blackbird -- The best of the soft acoustic tracks.
- Everybody’s Got Something To Hide -- This is Lennon being punchy. I really like it.
- Long, Long, Long
- I’m So Tired -- The relateable story of a burnt out addict.
- Birthday -- A solid rock song.
- Mother Nature’s Son
- Sexy Sadie
- The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill -- It's unique, good lyrics, catchy hook. Underrated.
- Yer Blues -- They got this mock-tune in just before the rise of Led Zeppelin.
- Glass Onion -- Kinda cool.
- Cry Baby Cry
- Julia
- Savoy Truffle -- It's a well-done song but I still need to break into it.
- Wild Honey Pie -- It's bizarre, slap-happy, boisterous, gets a little too much hate.
- Revolution 9 -- Experimental, strange. Interesting for what it's worth.
- Good Night -- It's really beautiful but the execution is shaky.
- I Will -- Generic
- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - Was this seriously the longest song to make?
- Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?
- Don’t Pass Me By -- Ringo's singing is just off here
- Martha My Dear
- Honey Pie -- zzz....
- Rocky Raccoon

Ha-ha, I think most will disagree with you buddy! 
Every time I “try” to listen to it, I just cannot get through it. It’s just noise. 
To the Op, I can’t believe you rate 8 songs lower than Rev 9

At least Revolution 9 is unique. I'd take that over a generic-Paul-song like Honey Pie and the head scratcher known as Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Offline 'Revolution 9 ' is very good at what its meant to be; the problem is that most people approach it as a song and treat it as such when its not. I'd rather have a sound collage that produces some thought and feeling upon listening than dull tracks that do nothing more than bug me.
Personally i'd take 'Revolution 9 ' above 'Birthday ', 'Julia ' (aside from one verse), 'Good Night ' and 'Bungalow Bill' if I had to opt between them. Some days i'd take it above 'Ob-La-Di/Da'. I'm firmly in the 'Wild Honey Pie ' fan club what with my membership card, badge and recipe pamphlet.

I actually enjoy The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill , well better than Revolution 9 ! But, I'm not saying Rev. 9 is the worst. Since I haven't given my best listen yet and taken all the songs in much yet, I'll make a ranking when I can/have the effort to

Offline How come nobody else, except for Derek Francis, has ranked all the songs on this album? I just did it, and it turned out to be much easier than ranking the songs on Pepper or With the Beatles (the other two I have ranked the songs on so far). Here is my list (italics indicate that I picked the song as one of the 14 in the "White Album as a single disc" thread):
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- I Will
- Happiness Is A Warm Gun
- Martha My Dear
- Dear Prudence
- Yer Blues
- Cry Baby Cry (with Can You Take Me Back)
- Blackbird
- Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey
- Revolution 1
- Helter Skelter
- Sexy Sadie
- Long, Long, Long
- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
- I'm So Tired
- Savoy Truffle
- Piggies
- Rocky Raccoon
- Revolution 9
- Back In The USSR
- Glass Onion
- Good Night
- Honey Pie
- The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
- Why Don't We Do It in the Road
- Don't Pass Me By
- Birthday
- Mother Nature's Son
- Julia
- Wild Honey Pie
One interesting thing I just realised about the list above is that it has only 5 Paul songs on the upper half and only 5 John songs on the lower half. I hope it doesn't seem like dislike Paul, because i don't. As you can see, half of my top 4 on The White Album are Paul songs.

I have listened to that song a lot and I often enjoy it, but there is something about it that annoys me a little. I think it's repetitive and I don't like the lyrics that much, probably because I'm not a big fan of birthday parties. Anyway, one day I might have change my opinion on that song. There are songs, both by The Beatles and others, that I really disliked before that are among my favourites now.
