The Beatles beat you to that one, CK. Reference "Back in the USSR" off of the White Album

Pedantry alert! There was no Beatles album titled "White." The album in question was eponymously titled, and acquired the chromatic designation from its cover.

Wait a second, I'll wager you knew that!

Oof!

Er, um... yeah, I knew that...

BTW, is it now known as the "White CD"? Or is that another post for a different thread?

I still hear it called the White album, probably because most people who refer to it are of an age to remember it as such. Although, if the other to hich you refer is correct, it never was the White "album", just the White LP - but that way lies madness, wanna join me?

I call it "The Beatles Album with 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' On It". One of the best solos that Eric Clapton ever played, really.

And, Doug, yes I did know ...

One of my top 5 Beatles tracks, even if Clapton isn't actually Steve's boss!

This is a fun little tangent we're off on...
I've never been a huge REM fan, but I love the fact that they actually named one of their albums, Eponymous.
Oh, and by the way, Max, wouldn't that be an achromatic designation? *Hoping the people on this board recognize that this newbie is just geeking and not being a pretentious jerk icon*

Max: Don't remember any Clapton grafitti (except every album after he got seriously smack-bit until he gave it up again).

Doug: Don't worry, we knew you were pretentious right from the start. Why else would you be on this board?
