George Harrison [RIP] - Discography

George Harrison - Discography


Born: February 25, 1943 - Died: November 29, 2001
R.I.P.

Nicknamed "the Quiet Beatle" at the height of Beatlemania, George Harrison did indeed seem somewhat reserved compared to the other members of the Fab Four. He favoured wry wit to Ringo Starr's clowning, and he never indulged in either John Lennon's penchant for controversy or Paul McCartney's crowd-pleasing antics. He preferred sly provocations to larger-than-life bravado. Harrison's measured, considered persona was reflected in his music, particularly his clean, composed lead guitar parts but also in his earliest songs for the Beatles where he didn't seem to waste a line. With the introduction of psychedelics, spirituality, and Indian music in the mid-'60s, George's horizons expanded considerably and he started to come into his own as a musician, releasing a pair of experimental albums on Apple's Zapple offshoot before settling into a song writing style that spliced Dylanesque introspection with his natural pop grace, while also developing a unique slide guitar technique that owed nothing to the blues. Later Beatles albums hinted at this flowering of talent; The Beatles and Abbey Road contained some of his strongest work, with the latter including the standard "Something," a song Frank Sinatra called "the greatest love song of the past 50 years."

I have all of his albums but I couldn't resist to leave this space without any comment...
George was the soul of the Beatles, the balance between two big egos (John & Paul) but when he had a chance, he showed the world he was as good as his pals. George is my favorite musician above all (including The Beatles). Keep the good work, Ozzieguy.

Hello Charlie
Thank you for your leaving your comment about George, he certainly was a great musician and one of my favorites also.
He did so many wonderful things with The Beatles and also when they split.
Many thanks Charlie.
