I have always felt that Martin let the band do what it wanted with the white album. Therefore, in order to whittle it down, the track list must include snippets from each artist. i will run through my list (i will stick to 15) in a bit, but for now and at first blush I would say the following four are no-brainers. Yer Blues - Lennon Back in the U.S.S.R. - McCartney Don't Pass Me By - Starkey While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Harrison I could not agree more.
