Hi everybody!
I think it's While my Guitar gently weeps, cause
of this universal emotion he brings into this song.

Yes, a very under-rated Harrison song. Quite beautiful and slightly eerie.

Within In You WIthout You. So exotic and psychedelic and the lyrics are so mesmerizing.

George was an essential component of the most important band in history. But as a songwriter, he was famous by association. He wrote some decent songs, but was never a songwriter of any great merit. Most of the songs were derivative. He even got sued for 'My Sweet Lord', though that seems a bit unfair, as the riff for 'He's so Fine' (the song he was accused of plagarising) is entirely derivative itself.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, just a plan classic and great song.

OLD BROWN SHOE!!!
It should have been on an album, it would have been a highlight, indeed. In those later Beatles days, McCartney and Harrison had become the most inspired writers in the band (and I don't intend to put Lennon's 'Come together' and other songs down), and certainly Harrison had become a sufficiently proficient writer as to have The Beatles release two more LPs before the final break-up. |
 mychoice and one of my favourite beatles ever!!!!!

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

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

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.

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.

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