    1) Something- A beautiful song, one of the best love songs I've heard

    2) Here Comes the Sun- Such a cheerful song; it always inspires me (and brings back memories of singing it at the top of my lungs with my friends in the middle of a rainstorm)

    3) Taxman- George's first really good song (not that his previous ones weren't good)

    4) Piggies- Funny, yet it conveys an interesting (not sure how else to describe it) message

    5) Think For Yourself- Makes me smile every time

    6) Don't Bother Me- Pretty amazing that his first song is as good as it is

    No one picked Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond)...!!???

     

    That's one of my favorites.

     

    He wrote it for Ringo, for Ringo's 1973 solo album (famous for having all four Beatles on one album, even though they were never all together at any one time):

    Everything on "All Things Must Pass" along with "Something". Actually, it's funny, because I'm 17 years old & I've already decided I want "Something" playing at my wedding (I know...I'm weird) but I just adore that song! I think George should have gotten more attention with his songwriting when he was in the Beatles than he actually did. A lot of that stuff on "All Things Must Pass" was material he had been sitting on when the Beatles were still together! He was ingenious & he should have been recognized more for it.

    As for vocals: Does the anthology version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps count? His voice on that is perfection <3

    Since they are played so often, I even prefer listening to

     

    I me mine (like the "long" Spector version, love the rocking chorus)

    Old brown shoe (fantastic song, sound (piano!), vocals, bass line in the middle eight whoever played it)

    Love you to (very underrated and overlooked song, love the strange sound of that strange instrument)

    Taxman (fantastic bass, harmonies, guitar solo)

    Think for yourself (great harmonies, fuzz bass, guitars)

    If I needed someone (great harmonies, 12string guitar)

    It's all too much (just joyful)

    For you blue (excellent tight trio live performance)
