George doesn't get nearly enough credit for the material he wrote in The Beatles. If you take quality over quantity, I rank George second to John in The Beatles. And his solo career is probably the most consistently good of any of the Fab Four. Title: Re: The Harrisongs Collection - Beatle Years Post by: Lonely Summer on August 06, 2015, 08:55:06 PM Very cool. It would be hard for me to compare George with John or Paul in the Beatle years, simply because Lenn/Mac wrote so much more material. As a solo artist, though, he's my favorite hands down. Both John and Paul released some great stuff and a lot of junk. I can't think of one Harrison album that i don't like (unless you count Electronic Sound).

True, and John is my favorite songwriter with The Beatles. But I think he and Paul each had a couple of misses, but George really didn't.

Seems like he had a hard time getting his songs on the records at the best of times, so it's no wonder they didn't let any Harrison "clunkers" on.

If he had too many songs on a record, they couldn't call him "The Quiet One" anymore. :) Title: Re: The Harrisongs Collection - Beatle Years Post by: Lonely Summer on August 10, 2015, 11:04:19 PM It's amazing that he got 3 songs on Revolver; then he was back to just 1 song on Pepper and Mystery Tour. They had to do a very long double album for him to get 4 songs; and Yellow Sub was a soundtrack the others didn't care much about, so he got 2 of the 6 songs on side one of that album.

I think by the time George was really coming into his own as a songwriter, The Beatles probably didn't want to mess with success and still fill the records with Lennon/McCartney numbers. Three amazing songwriters in one band all trying to get songs on those albums. It's no wonder they broke up.

Interesting, even Gone Troppo & self-titled? These 2 regarded weak by every other George fan.Title: Re: The Harrisongs Collection - Beatle Years Post by: Lonely Summer on August 12, 2015, 10:58:57 PM I can't think of one Harrison album that i don't like (unless you count Electronic Sound).

I've had a lot of fun working out songs like Mystical One, Unknown Delight and Dream Away on the guitar. George had a knack for great melodies and chord changes, topped off with his wonderful slide guitar work. Your Love is Forever and Dark Sweet Lady from the '79 album are also nice showcases for his tasteful, melodic guitar work. |
