You can skip as many as you want. You don't even have to listen to it at all. I'm just saying the song that I would have taken off the album is that one.

I don’t think you understand the original question. It’s what perfect album gets ruined by one or two songs. Theres a number of skippable songs there. Not just one.

Except you're wrong, and that's okay. You're allowed to be. There aren't any other skippable songs on that record.

You could also just stop for two seconds and realize that it is completely subjective. Just because you view a song as "skippable" doesn't make it some universal truth. There are no objectively good or bad songs, or songs that objectively ruin an album.

It’s all subjective, thanks for stating the obvious.

Then what are you arguing about? What are you implying I don't understand?

Of all the possible answers you could of picked theres better observations and more interesting answers than The Beatles White Album that’s all I’m saying.

Agreed. Excellent album but very much imperfect, which is the point.

I would get on perfectly fine without Birthday.

For every While my Guitar Gently Weeps theres a Wild Honey Pie that just stinks the room out.

That one I can deal with, because it’s only a minute long and is clearly meant to confuse the listener, by which standard it does its job very well. I wouldn’t listen to it on purpose but I can’t usually be bothered to skip it. For some reason it reminds me more of a short cutscene in a video game than anything else.

I have more of a problem with its namesake, Honey Pie. I respect the Beatles for their understanding of British music history and their place in it, and their love for the music that represented that tradition, but I don’t need to show that respect by repeatedly listening to their take on music hall.
