"Something" from Abbey Road. There you can see what a talent he was as a song writer. And then playing third violin after Lennon and McCartney. Yes, quite some talent in that band! Shocked

Always had a soft spot for George.  My vote goes to It's All Too Much....but that'll change as soon as I hit the "post" button.

It seem ole George was treated as something of a third class citizen when it comes to song writing credits.  They are and on impulse I went for Guitar.  I'm not sure I know all of these but I do know most.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Had to vote for While My Guitar Gently Weeps.  Possibly the most beautiful, sorrowful, searing song The Beatles ever laid down.  I love the story behind it, too: apparently John and Paul were pretty dismissive of it, but Harrison persisted.  It's certainly head and shoulders above anything Lennon/McCartney produced for The White Album, with the possible exception of Happiness Is A Warm Gun. 

Also a TREMENDOUS fan of Blue Jay Way and I Me Mine.  Never really gotten into Here Comes the Sun, though...

Good one Mr. Harrison and good work on the guitar solo Mr. Clapton.

Sums up everything I was going to say.

My problem with WMGGW is the horrible organ sound at the end.

I don't like Within You Without You too much... Eastern drivel...

I have to go with the obvious choice, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.


George Harrisons first solo album (all things must pass) shows some more of his songwriting chops, while the over-Spectored production is fascinating.

I chose the proggiest song there was on the screen: Blue Jay Way. Probably the darkest Beatle song.

I love Piggies personally.

Blue Jay Way and Here Comes the Sun would make my top 3.

I miss George.... I think he was the only of the four that never really hit his peak.  I think George still had a great album or two in him.  No Beatle solo album in the past twenty years comes close to Brainwashed.  Of course, John never even had a chance.....I think John also was on an upswing artistically when he was taken.

I kind of agree on the consensus though.
