Rocky Raccoon is badass, off the White Album. an unfinished 'Western' song that McCartney wrote. It kind of represents the fractured White Album, where nothing was really finished, noting really gelled to make one definitive sound to make a great album. That's why the album comes off with almost no flow--some great songs, but some songs that should have never made a Beatles album.
My favorite song by the Beatles is probably "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
raven, you have to get their original CDs.
The greatest hits compilations and past masters and whatever else compilations they decide to have are fine and all, but The Beatle's music is best listened to in the original context--except The White Album, that album is so disjointed, it really doesn't have a theme.
But hearing a song from Abbey Road out of context...just seems weird.
