Guys.
The White Album has both the best and the worst of The Beatles. Yes, there is filler. There are also about 10 songs better than anything The Who ever conjured, and 5-10 more that are worthy album material. The filler takes up about 20 minutes or less, most of that on Revolution 9.
Yoko is easy enough to miss if you ignore Bungalo Bill and Rev. No. 9 which is easy to do. Throw out Honey Pie, Wild Honey Pie, Obla Di blah blah, and Dont Pass Me By and everything else is good to great and there's a shitload of it.
I agree the single version of Rev. 1 is superior. John was into some blues at the time though and vastly preferred the album version.
I will die on that hill.

This was a tough call for me, but there are songs on the White Album that I just cannot stand. I won't name them, so nobody needs to get all spooled up, but there are a few on there that do not belong in any kind of rock tournament, and settled the decision for me.
