The Greatest Music
The Beatles
by The Beatles
The 18th greatest album of all time
The Beatles, commonly known as the White Album, is a 1968 double album that captures the group's broad stylistic range across rock, pop, pop rock, experimental and hard rock. It moves between pared-back acoustic songs and concise pop tunes, heavier electric rockers and collage-like studio experiments, with a rawer, more immediate production and distinct individual songwriting voices. The minimalist white packaging complements the record's eclectic, personal character.
