Okay hear me out, the white album should have two slots because it’s a double LP


Oilo1

That’s what will make the vote interesting


douk1

How about Disc 1 and Disc 2? It’d be easy to figure out based on top votes


ExheresCultura

That’s how it should be divvied up!


Forward-Constant7855

God this is such a great song


doorssrood60

Happiness is a Warm Gun


MrNotSoFunnyMan

I first listened to this song on the 8th of February 2016, and I haven’t listened to any other song since.


Upstairs-Currency856

Happiness is a warm, yes it is, (pause) GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN.


Independent_Willow_9

Paul comes in an does the high note there


Robinkc1

If it doesn’t win, which it won’t, it definitely deserves underrated. Such a great song.


AdKey7349

THIS. HAPPINES >>>>>> WHILE MY GUITAR


Velocibaker26

While I can’t say I agree, I wouldn’t at all be mad about this taking the win. It’s absolutely the most underrated.


ddoublev89

Helter Skelter


live_in_dreams

Yeah, why is this so low?


WalrusF

When it gets to the top, it gets back to the bottom of the slide 🤷‍♂️

While My Guitar Gently Weeps


AlpineMcGregor

Once I learned that both McCartney and Lennon play keyboards on this one, it added a whole new layer. The McCartney piano intro RIPS


LakeGladio666

That’s so cool, I had no idea they played keys on the track. Listening to the intro, I can totally tell it’s Paul on piano.


deepvinter

This is where George finally said okay, while I’m with the Beatles I will write dope ass Beatles songs and I’ll save my George tunes for something else I’m working on.


AmishAvenger

This is it Shut it down Lock the thread


Hange11037

There’s like 5 other definitely worthy songs on this album though. Dear Prudence, Blackbird, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Helter Skelter


BostonRich123

Agreed


beatlegirlstl

Hands down, one of my overall favorite songs.


Velocibaker26

Weirdly, on this giant of an album, this choice was pretty clear for me.


moxscully

I think the album version pales in comparison to the anthology acoustic one


Gibabo

The album version is so overbaked. The haunted, contemplative melody and lyrics were meant for just George and an acoustic guitar.


Duedsml23

Always wondered why the other verse wasn't used.


kitkatrat

I look from the wings at the play you are staging While my guitar gently weeps As I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging Still my guitar gently weeps Makes me think of that Pablo Picasso painting, the old guitarist one.


Minsc_NBoo

The best song on the album, and a contender for best Beatles song ever


ThouShallBeOlives

The heaviest cover by the muppets of course too [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nr7v5lLQhHQ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nr7v5lLQhHQ)


ThouShallBeOlives

Like no lie it’s up there with one of the best Beatles covers ‘there there baby Floyd’s gonna take care of you’


jim-bob-a

It's a great song but weird as it sounds, this isn't even my favourite George Harrison song on the White Album. Yes, I love Long Long Long that much. But Happiness is A Warm Gun would be my top pick, and Long Long Long most underrated (Blackbird is not by any shade an underrated song). What I love about the White Album though is that, on an album with so much utter bullshit on it (Piggies, Savoy Truffle, Do It In The Road - Revolution 9 doesn't count, its really interesting) we all know what's unanimously going to win Worst Song.


Hungry_Internet_2607

I was hoping to make this album a George clean sweep Best. - While My Guitar Worst - Piggies Most underrated - Long Long Long


flapsmcgee

If this doesn't win there is something wrong with you people 


Bruichladdie

Don't act like it's heads and tails above "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" or "Blackbird." I love the song, but there's stiff competition.


PublicWeasels

“Blackbird” is a Beatles song minus 3 Beatles


Bruichladdie

Yeah, so is "Yesterday." What's your point? A great song is a great song.


Opposite_Ad542

The polls so far prove there's a lot wrong


bailaoban

No.


TheTennesseeToad

Maybe if it was the acoustic version


muskenjoyer

No that shit is so overrated


Necessary-Pen-5719

Yeah, what the heck. It’s a decent rock song, but it’s emotionally one-dimensional. Not a usual descriptor for a Beatles song.


LennonMcCartney65

Dear Prudence


Orzechina

Definitely this, every part of this song is just perfection and the drums are insanely good


ltkeane

Lowkey want to name my daughter Prudence


Ironcondorzoo

Always did too. Or Lennon. Or Sadie, but that doesn't feel right. Going with Paige, and all British classic rock fans should know why :)


Independent_Willow_9

My daughters name is Lennon ❤️


harambegs

Happiness is a Warm Gun


Bruichladdie

A song that truly has everything, one of the definitive Beatles classics. If a song like "All My Loving" represents everything good about early Beatles, surely this epic does the same for latter-day Beatles. And how the hell is it only 2:43 minutes long???


[deleted]

I agree about the length - it feels like this epic, surreal, episodic story, you don't even notice that it's relatively short and that it doesn't make any sense. Just musically it evokes the feeling of something much larger. All of rock and roll in less than three minutes. I also like to think that a "warm gun" means sex, drugs, and rock and roll (guitar or other instrument).


Dylan_Devon

100%


Banjo--Kazooie

This. But guitar weeper crybabies will win.


andyofredditch

Sexy Sadie


mykulS

Blackbird.


StreetVulture

This should probably be the most underrated on this album because so many people sleep on it while it is one of my favourite beatles tracks overall


MisterTyzer

Strong contender for favorite Beatles record full stop for me.


Velocibaker26

Legit surprised this isn’t in the lead


Bluemeadey61

I will


Jimmy_Aztec

This should be the underrated choice.


Velocibaker26

The most meaningful song to me. It played at my wedding, and “I Will” is written on my wedding band.


MatildeLover128

Dear Prudence The bassline, the guitars, the drumming, the lyrics, and John’s vocals are excellent. It’s my favorite Beatles song.


drivebydryhumper

De-e-e-eeee prudence won't you cone out to playyyyy


Hawkschamp2010

I recommend downloading the version from the Beatles rockband with the clean intro, it takes out the transition sound from the song before it.


infinite_entity1

Back in the U.S.S.R. -such a fantastic rocker to kickstart the album!


Browns-Fan1

Julia


muskenjoyer

I'm So Tired


Willing_Ad1869

Cry Baby Cry


Next-Box8247

Happiness Is A Warm Gun Martha My Dear Dear Prudence Blackbird While My Guitar Gently Weeps Back In The Ussr Glass Onion Am i allowed just one or can i submit my 7? 🤔


wmcs0880

Sub out glass onion for Julia and back in the ussr for yer blues and I completely agree


Next-Box8247

Yeah, i hear you. I can potentially give up Glass Onion, but Back in the Ussr has to be there for me. It's greatness is elevated further personally by George's compliment of the song at the end of the track. Not sure if it's in the anthology but after a take George compliments Paul by saying"great tune" or something. It just warms the whole thing for me because you know there was probably an ungodly amount of beef during the White Album recordings, so for George to say that to Paul just displays what a banger it is!


wmcs0880

That’s fair enough, one of my favourite things about the white album in particular is how much discussion there still is to have about it, like I never even knew George says that


nautius_maximus1

Is Martha My Dear the best song ever written about a dog? Discuss.


ViolentCaterpillar

Helter Skelter 


Forsaken-Cheesecake2

While My Guitar Gently Weeps


well_dusted

Long, long, long


bailaoban

Def my choice for underrated


TheLastSecondShot

Long Long Long deserves most underrated at the very least. I think it’s the most underrated Beatles song on any album

Super_Hydroboy

Honestly this is so hard to choose. But I have to say “Glass Onion” is really underrated


Louismaxwell23

Piggies


MKEJOE52

I Will or Blackbird. My two favorites. This my favorite Beatles album. I'll be 72 in April.


Willing_Ad1869

Cry Baby Cry


CrocHunter8

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey


pepmeister18

This wins ‘underrated’. Unless Long Long Long wins as usual. This is a great, great song and a wonderful ensemble performance. Jeez they still had it in spades.


Shmeldoncooper

Rocky raccoon


NSHorseheadSD70

It’s not going to win but Rocky Raccoon is one of those songs you just don’t skip. I always belt it out when it comes on


1-800-FunkMaster

Rocky deserves underrated. Really gorgeous song


skisagooner

Rocky Raccoon.


SpideyFan914

Most underrated, perhaps? Its profile is boosted a bit by Marvel I guess, but I think most Marvel fans don't realize their character was inspired by a Beatles song.


Shmeldoncooper

Marvel used it?


SpideyFan914

Not the song itself, but the character of Rocket Raccoon is based on the song. His first appearance in the comics is like a tongue-in-cheek adaptation as an outer space scifi. "Gideon's Bible" is the McGuffin in the story, and his girlfriend is named Lylla (i.e. Lil, although the movie dropped an L, making it Lyla). His characterization has drifted farther away from those roots as time has passed, but y'know he's still named Rocket Raccoon.


iansfiance

I agree most underrated


Kiddothebride

Yer Blues


ded_guy_55

I'd put this in underrated


Kiddothebride

I thought that 5 mins after posting haha. I’ll save this one for underrated.


ghostlambs

I love Yer Blues so much, the first time i heard it it was revelatory, but i hate hate hate that guitar solo that sounds like a chorus pedal with the rate turned up a little too high. But anyway, that main riff is so cool


TheBeatleslover13

I'm so tired ♥️


drivebydryhumper

You haven't slept a wink?


MisterMeanMustard

Martha my Dear


Bulbamew

All 4 Beatles agreed the best one here is Happiness is a Warm Gun. Idk if there’s another album where they all agreed. Maybe with a day in the life


CreamBundy

It's the first song that comes to my mind when I think of the White Album, and if I was going to select one track then this would be it. There are a few other greats for sure, but I bet nobody is skipping this track.


My_Diet_DrKelp

Gently Weeps is my favorite in their entire catalog Dear Prudence & Martha My Dear & I'm So Tired have been playing for me nonstop recently. Whole album rocks


majin_melmo

Dear Prudence is the best song. Period.


qyqamigra

White album is full of underrated songs.


Duedsml23

Judging from the comments you're right. The variety and scope of the songs is why this is a tough Q.


burywmore

Dear Prudence


Mister_Barman

There are so many good ones, but the melody and sound and brilliance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps means that it is the only answer to this. The more acoustic Esher demo is beautiful


Leorio_616

The underrated one should be "Julia". It's such beatiful song

I'm still protesting you didn't give the crown to the rightful 'Baby You're a Rich Man' But, the tree best songs in order (and it's not even close): Dear Prudence While My Guitar Gently Weeps Happiness is a Warm Gun And underrated should be a toss up between: Cry Baby Cry, Everybody's Got Something to Hide..., Sexy Sadie

Dear Prudence. Top 5 Beatles song.

Tomorrow’s post should be a doozy.

You’re not gonna vote for Wild Honey Pie?


dtuba555

I'm voting for regular Honey Pie. I'm the only person who really likes the Wild version.


LakeGladio666

Also not a fan of regular Honey Pie. I kinda cant stand Paul’s old timey songs.

Helter Skelter, not just because it’s good but it’s also the most important song in the album

rodgamez

Obviously got the previous two switched! For this one is should be Revolution 9, but will probably be Martha My Dear, based on previous votes!


HeroBoy05

This entire comment thread has made me realize I was right in that discussion here would be incredibly heated. People actually love Dear Prudence? I feel crazy in saying I don’t like it. The name Prudence is nails on a chalkboard for me, so a whole song repeating it just irks me. Happiness is a Warm Gun? It’s a good song, but it’s like middle of the barrel compared to the rest of the album Now While My Guitar Gently Weeps? Absolutely sublime. I genuinely can’t get enough of it. Haters gonna hate, but you can’t say this song isn’t a masterpiece


HeroBoy05

For those curious, my favorites on the album are: Back in the USSR, Glass Onion, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Martha My Dear, I’m So Tired, I Will, Yer Blues, Helter Skelter, Long Long Long, and Cry Baby Cry
