To honor the depth and breadth of his catalogue-from the bonafide classics to the lesser-known gems, here are the 20 best solo songs by George Harrison. There are other albums, too, though George’s genius doesn’t stop there. It’s a masterwork-and unquestionably his best complete effort post-Fab Four-that’s filled with beautiful, wise and spiritual songs like “My Sweet Lord,” “What Is Life,” “I’d Have You Anytime,” and five more album sides’ worth of goodness. But too often these laudatory claims would all come all in reference to All Things Must Pass, Harrison’s historic triple album and first proper solo release, from 1970. They note how his surly charm and acidic wit often matched John Lennon’s, how his gift for melody-when encouraged-could be on par with Paul McCartney’s. For casual fans (and the terribly uninformed), George Harrison was a second-tier member of the Beatles-a member whose contributions only became essential when he wrote “Here Comes The Sun.” For a mid-level fan, and rock writers everywhere, he was an indispensable member of the band who regularly contributed stunning, lesser-known songs like “Long, Long, Long” and “For You Blue.” They discuss how he almost single-handedly introduced Eastern music into the Western pop sphere and organized the first rock benefit concert, the Concert for Bangladesh.
