Ob-la-di harmed the album in a very particular way. Geoff Emerick, their engineer/assistant producer and architect of a lot of what they achieved on Pepper and Revolver, walked out on them after a row about that song. The album is less focused because of his departure, and I am not just saying that because he was a good friend of my dad

But, we all listen to music differently. Even the concept of an album is outdated now. Just mentioning the art form gets one labelled as a boomer
You think about things more than me, Peter. I love the first three songs on Pepper, and I like Day in the Life but got tired of the symphony going crazy bits, they're just irritating. But that's it, I can't think of another song on the album that I would particularly want to listen to.

White album has Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Blackbird, Rocky Raccoon, Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie, Revolution 1 and Cry baby Cry - I would happily listen to all of them. I even like some of the dross, like Don't Pass Me By

I would agree that it does not compare as an album 'concept' with Pepper. But I don't care. I like the music better
