[QUOTE=Woodstock]I don't think so, George owned his solo career.[/QUOTE]

Agreed x2.

George's career covered much more ground than any of the other Beatles did. Gospel, Indian, Psychedelia, Hawaiian, Folk, ect. Plus, I just prefer his music.

The man knew how to play 46 instruments also.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Agreed x2.

I thought it was 47. :confused: :lol:

well every one has there preferences

46 instruments..? That's kinda scary. In a totally awesome sort of way.

and he always had great great musicians playing with him: Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Roy Orbinson, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Gary Brooker, Billy Preston, Ray Cooper, etc.

And i think it was 46, but does it matter, he could play anything with strings basically. I think Harrison's songs are some of the Beatle's most beautiful (Here Comes the Sun, Something), or his playing is the reason why they are beautiful (i.e. Norwegian Wood). His understated guitars solos were perfect for the beatles as a band.

To be honest, I disliked alot of George's older guitar solos. They lacked [I]something[/I], I don't know what it was, they just weren't very appealing. That being said, everything... say, post-1965, I'm fond of.

Heh Bonzo, most of those guys were in the Traveling Wilburys with him.

[QUOTE=Coldy]Heh Bonzo, most of those guys were in the Traveling Wilburys with him.[/QUOTE]
yes they were, but also appeared on other stuff, and there are many recordings floating around of him live with these guys. there are also a LOT more... i just threw out the best known names. it's def not limited to the traveling wilburys, they just happen to be the best known ppl (and i wonder why, that was prob the superest super group ever...)

What is Harrison's best solo album?

All Things Must Pass

Man, Abbey Road is one hell of an album. Though strangly it doesn't have very many of their best known songs :/

[QUOTE=guitrguy]All Things Must Pass[/QUOTE]

agreed.

and get concert for george, i mean he's not playing on it cuz he's dead but it's still awesome!

O ya you are an Abbey Road noob, I forgot. It is a good album, but I don't see how it is everyone favorite.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]agreed.

We have the CD for that, and I saw the video on TV. Great stuff.

And having like 15 guys playing at once. Three drummers, assloads of rhythm players, several bass and leads....oh baby.

I like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band the best. The whole psychadelic thing was really interesting to me. Other than that one another album i enjoyed was Magical Mystery Tour.

yes, yes, simply fantastic

[QUOTE=guitrguy]O ya you are an Abbey Road noob, I forgot. It is a good album, but I don't see how it is everyone favorite.[/QUOTE]

It's not my favorite. I like The White Album and Sgt Peppers more, poo poo head.

Rubber Soul is the best.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]It's not my favorite. I like The White Album and Sgt Peppers more, poo poo head.[/QUOTE]
I think Abbey Road is better then Sgt. Peppers.

White Album>all though.

Hmm I just psoted this in that Classic Rock htread but it probly fits in better here.

Has anyone else heard the Beatles were hugely influenced by the Beach Boys?

Yep, they loved the Beach Boys' harmonies. They were also influenced a ton by Bob Dylan.

Abbey Road=White Album=Rubber Soul. To me, either one of those albums>Sgt. Peppers.

Revolver influenced Pet Sounds, which in turn influenced Sgt. Pepper's. Rumor has it that when Sgt. Pepper's came out, Brian Wilson just trashed all this music he had been working on, because he felt that the definitive album of the 60's had already been made. Dunno if its true or not. While we from our perspective in the new millenium may say that Sgt. Peppers isn't as good as the other albums, when it came out it was by far the most mind blowing and anticipated album. It really showed their evolution more than any album, because it was so dramatically different.

And, call me a noob all you want, but I've been listening to the Beatles for a long *** time and I say that Abbey Road is the best. For now, at least. MMT is catching up.

i like the white album the best. it never gets old for me, i guess that would have something to do with the whole double LP.

Or it could have been something to do with him being crazy?

especialy in the drug department

The influence was also reversed. I remember reading an article say ing the they were really impressed with The Beatles, when they came to America.

I like MMT more then Abbey Road, but don't get me wrong Abbey Road is awesome.

Especially the bolded songs.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Agreed, he had the best Beatles solo career.[/QUOTE]
Better than John Lennon?

I like strawberry fields, it has that Sgt. Peppers feel to it
