09:31 am - The Shorter White Album

A day or two ago, in response to [info]skywaterblue, I said that the Beatles' White Album was full of pastiches, comedy songs and fragments. So let's see what left when you take them out and, while we're at it, delete the ones that are shite:

01. Back in the U.S.S.R.                                   Pastiche

02. Dear Prudence
03. Glass Onion                                                 Almost shite. Leave it in for now.
04. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da                                  Pastiche
05. Wild Honey Pie                                            Fragment
06. The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill           Shite
07. While My Guitar Gently Weeps                     Shite
08. Happiness Is a Warm Gun
09. Martha My Dear
10. I'm So Tired
11. Blackbird
12. Piggies                                                            Shite
13. Rocky Raccoon                                               Pastiche
14. Don't Pass Me By                                            Comedy
15. Why Don't We Do It in the Road?                    Comedy
16. I Will                                                                Nearly, but not quite, shite. Put it on the reserve list
17. Julia      
18. Birthday                                                            Comedy
19. Yer Blues                                                          Pastiche
20. Mother Nature's Son      
21. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey       Shite
22. Sexy Sadie                                     
23. Helter Skelter                                                     Shite
24. Long, Long, Long      
25. Revolution 1      
26. Honey Pie                                                           Pastiche
27. Savoy Truffle      
28. Cry Baby Cry      
29. Revolution 9      
30. Good Night                                                          Pastiche, but maybe we need a Ringosong and it's a nice release after Rev 9
                                                                             
 
Can we (this is an old game) make a good single album out of what's left? How would we sequence it? Were there ever any consistently good double albums? Even Blonde On Blonde?
