Something that I've been itching to ask for the past couple of years.  Any thoughts?

This was really hard! I went for both, they're both fantastic tracks.

Both are good, but Here Comes the Sun is not hard to pick.

Here Comes The Sun is one of the few songs I like from Abbey Road so it gets my vote.

A small preference for "Waiting For The Sun". Morrison and Krieger were flawless on that track, really made it special. That guitar, man.

I'll vote for the Doors track, not only is it wilder, there's a crusty busker dude that occasionally howls the Beatles song at my work (he's a massive Beatles/Lennon fan), and he's just killed lots of songs for me - now I just can't listen to lots of Beatles things....
To clarify - he knows about 8 songs, and just played them over, and over, and over...........and over, and he's not even good......

@Ozric: LOL A similar situation happened to me, but it was because the Beatles were the only thing I listened to for so long, that I burned myself out on them and needed something new to listen to so I wouldn't go crazy. Incidentally, The Doors were part of that initial bunch to artists, though, unfortunately, it was mostly because of that dumb Oliver Stone movie. At least the music has more than held up for me.

Waiting for the Sun, easily.

The Beatles track is just too bright. 

No pun intended.

Thanks to this forum I recently knew a superb selection of The Doors songs Big smile, since I already knew a few catchy from them; and right now excited with another damn good one that I just happen to know. Looking forward to spinning it at my job too Wink, there are people right there who love The Doors, Creedence, Beatles, but also something modern like Eddie Vedder as well.
  
My home does get more shinny with the sweet 'Here Comes The Sun', but that psych guitar from 'Waiting For The Sun' actually shows why I prefer this pretty much over the other, as I'm enjoying pretty much The Doors, their music style is moving me a lot more than Beatles'.

it depends on the mood for me (i voted for that one), but it's usually the Beatles over the Doors for this case.

Here Comes The Sun is one of three (with Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane) of my favourite songs by The Beatles so I clicked on that one.

Here Comes the Sun by Harrison. As great as the Abbey Road medley is, Harrison's  songs Here Comes the Sun and Something are better than any one song by either Lennon and McCartney on Abbey Road and really helped to knock the album out of the ball park.

Waiting for the Sun. Both great songs, but I agree that Here Comes the Sun is just too bright.
