To fully understand the impact of the White Album one needs to be old enough to appreciate its uniqueness at its release in 1968. It was truely a different time and age relative to our society today. I was 19 in 1968 and can tell you that reguardless of your musical preferences everyone I knew at that time sat up and took notice of such a musical opus. It has indeed stood the test of time as so many of their other albums have and the Beatles will forever remain the seminal rock band of the 60's and early 70's.
