This was inspired by the thread Favorite Songs on Physical Graffiti?, as they are both albums of extensive length.

Since the album has more than 25 songs, I have to split it up a little bit, and it'll be split between the discs.

Back in the USSR
Dear Prudence
Glass Onion
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Wild Honey Pie
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
While My Guitar Gently Wee[s
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Martha My Dear
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Piggies
Rocky Raccoon
Don't Pass Me By
Why Don't We Do It In the road?
I Will
Julia

I know a lot of people absolutely adore the White Album, personally, I think it's quite overrated. It has some good tunes on it, and some really really average or even crummy tunes on it. I like a lot of stuff by the Beatles, but I surely don't worship them or view them as being untouchable.

From this group of tunes, there's really only 3 (or 4) I would purposely listen to:

Back in the USSR
Glass Onion
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I'd have to think about which one I like most.

Those certainly are the most popular songs from the album, lynch, and I agree about the number of average and terrible songs, but there are some great gems on here. I'm So Tired, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I Will, Julia, etc

While My Guitar Gently Weeps but Happiness Is A Warm Gun is a close runner up for me.
