21 Nov 2008: Beatles (yay)? Nope -- 1970 redux
« on: November 18, 2008, 11:25:34 AM »
Saturday Nov 22 is the 40th anniv of the release of the White Album -- 10 great songs from one great double-LP?  Friday is a '60s and/or theme day anyway. Fogheads could vote, etc.

But dave went with 1970 today.

Here's what my White Album @ 10 would look like:

1. Helter Skelter
2. Dear Prudence
3. Long, Long, Long
4. Bungalow Bill
5. either Mother Nature's Son or Julia
6. Savoy Truffle
7. Martha, My Dear
8. Glass Onion
9. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
10. I Will

"You better hurry 'cause it's going fast"  Tune #1 is already over at 10:00, and now it's Zep "Immigrant Song", all 2:25 of it.

Okay, so there was a BOS #1 for Badfinger & #2 for the Mighty Zep, and now to make up for the short songs, we get James Gang's "The Bomber", BOS #3 and also a bit longer tune.
