I always skip Little Child ,

I rarely listen to the early albums all the way through, but when I do, I don’t usually skip anything. 

Polythene Pam , Mean Mr. Mustard,

Never skip anything in the medley! It defeats the whole purpose. 

Sie Liebt Dich , Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand ,

I never listen to Past Masters all the way through, but if I did, I probably would skip these just because I stuck them in Google Translate once to see how they compare lyrically to the originals, and they are completely different, so it drives me crazy trying to remember what they’re actually saying. 

Wild Honey Pie ,

I have no problem with that.

The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill ,

NO! Not Bungalow Bill! It was the first song I ever heard off the White Album , and it made me want to listen to the other songs on it. Besides, it’s just a weird, interesting song that’s not supposed to make sense.  

Dig It , and Maggie Mae .

What problems do people have with these? Sure, they’re not as good as some of the other songs on the album, but they’re short and I find them entertaining. 

Carry That Weight (earworm chorus),

Again, no skipping of the medley!

Piggies

But…Piggies ! It’s actually interesting and relevant (unlike some other songs I could name *coughIWillcough*) and is just a great song in general. 

Rocky Raccoon

Unacceptable. 

Don’t Pass Me By

Fine by me.

I’ll just do the White Album songs I usually skip, otherwise the list would last forever and everyone would want to kill me.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da  (Can’t stand it. It’s just too upbeat and happy and everyone likes it. Also pointless). 
Wild Honey Pie  (Because it’s annoying as heck). 
Don’t Pass Me By (See above. Also pointless and makes no sense in a negative way). 
Why Don’t We Do It In The Road? (Somehow manages to get stuck in my head for days at a time). 
I Will (I know people like their annoying love songs, but I can’t stand this. I’m normally in a certain mood when I listen to the White Album , and this just infuriates me because of how happy and Paul-ish it is).

Birthday  (Just annoying, pointless, and repetitive). 
Honey Pie  (See Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and Wild Honey Pie combined). 
Revolution 9  (I usually listen to a couple minutes of it before skipping it, just out of respect for it. I have yet to want to listen to the whole thing, though). 
Good Night (It’s a nice concept, and maybe I would like it better if John sang it). 

Hopefully only a few people will end up killing me over this post. It’s the best I can hope for. 

I guess it’s nice…if you like that kind of thing? Now, calling it their best work… 

If you want best work, go listen to Strawberry Fields Forever . It has everything you could ever want from a song. 

Maybe we should:

Here’s a new question: (Fairly similar to a previously asked question)

What is the most annoying question you repeatedly get asked by random people?

For me it’s “Are you depressed?” I don’t know why, because constant exhaustion + minor obsession with death + eels + not liking people does not equal depression. It would also be nice for people to actually know what depression is and not assume everyone in the world is depressed just because they exist doing existence things.
