Bungalow Bill is fun! And it's another song inspired by their trip to Rishikesh.
While the White Album has never been my favourite Beatles album, it will always hold a special place in my heart. It was one of the first Beatles albums I heard in my life (or not as my mom played a lot of ot while I was in the womb) and I always used to secretly listen to it and play stuff like Wild Honey to weird myself out. It was so weird and creepy, it blew my mind as a kid! Bungalow Bill was another one of my favourites. It was like a treasure chest. So many weird songs, different songs and sounds.
Although I agree with Lennon2217 on John Lennon's contributions and later solo career, I'm really glad he chose not to use Child of nature for the White Album, but to use it later, as Jealous Guy of course. I'm also grateful that he didn't choose to use What's The New Mary Jane. Also glad Harrison didn't put stuff like Circles on it. Why the fuck he chose to include it on one of his solo albums is beyond me though.

Revolution 9 is an exclusive Tower Records bonus vinyl.  I like how weird and quirky "Bill" is and would gladly take it over "Honey Pie", "Wild Honey Pie", "Mothers Natures Son". So you're saying Lennon didn't produce the song? I've always heard he did  In comparison to other songs of its kind (Maxwell's Silver Hamer, Being For the Benefit of Mr Kite!) I find TCSOBB to be really dull and annoying instead of catchy and upbeat like I'm sure it's supposed to be. Wild Honey Pie isn't really a song, more of an interlude than anything, so I think it's quite an unfair comparison to make. as for the other two songs you mentioned, I fairly like both of them so I can't say I wouldn't take them over TCSOBB. Don't believe I weighed in on The Who produced Revolution 9 debate. I assumed John and Yoko but it's not really a song. Just a collage really. It's not on my Lennon White Album album. |

George Martin produced it with Lennon. Harrison and obviously Yoko were also involved.

Sorry mate, I must've misunderstood. |

"Why don't we do it in the road?" is absolutely hilarious, and possibly their funniest song. But I must say that I find it almost offensive to hear Paul McCartney singing about sexual frustration. Yeah, must have been really hard for you getting some attention from the opposite sex, right Paul?

Wild Honey Pie has remained a perennial favorite of mine just to see the expression on people's faces when they first hear it, and the even wilder expression of bewilderment when I reveal that it's The Beatles!  How many other bands do you know who could get away with putting a song this ridiculous on an album and still have that album regularly ranked among the greatest of all time? |

RIP Trisha Doan, not the biggest Kittie fan but depression no fun.

Is this the greatest album opener ever?

^^Among the greatest, yes. I think greatest is subjective and it depends on what kind of album you're listening to. But Plainsong is a song I never run out of good things to say about. Sets the stage for the rest of the album just beautifully. Those opening faint and distant chimes, the swelling wall of sound, the feeling like you're falling and falling and falling so effortlessly.

linkin park continues to join the generic cloud of shit. Coldplay levels of mainstream garbage.
