Pretty sure this'll go to Revolver but I prefer the sprawling mess and sonic infighting of the white album.

Revolver because it's less arty and no raccon songs. Although it hasn't incited mass murder, that's a definite strike.

White album for me. I too prefer the mess to that particular earler album.

Yeah, White. I am fascinated by zeitgeist and taste; personal responses and life experience; the mutability of art chronologically... as opposed to the artifice of eternity. I've written about this on Obner lots. 10-15 years ago I thought Revolver was top five albums of all time... the Beatles best for sure. I thought White Album was bloated, dinosaurish. Now Revolver sounds a little facile to me, and WA sounds like hard-won pleasure. Drowsy hey ya.

Surprised that's your pick even if it is the right choice.

Also, "Cry Baby Cry" is better than anything on Revolver

King of the back-handed compliment

Pretty indifferent to both choices, but I'll take Revolver over the White Album. No particular reason other than the lesser of two evils.

I think this is so close, mostly because of the burnout factor. White Album simply has more music to offer, and has been less touted (and, therefore, more-likely less overplayed) recently than Revolver.

If anything, that will allow White Album to eke this one out.
Despite the fact that Revolver is just a more-solid album front-to-back.
