  BUDDAH'S TOP 15 GEORGE HARRISON SONGS

  1. Crackerbox Palace.....Not a song most would pick, but I like it's lyrics sound a lot.
  2. Give Me Life (Peace on Earth).....A fitting tune from the man known as the quiet Beatle.
  3. Blow Away.....An easy pick from the best guitar playing Beatle.
  4. If Not For You.....It's a Bob Dylan cover done better by George...of course.
  5. What is Life.....Possibly his most famous song out there.
  6. All These Years Ago.....It's a beautiful tribute song to John Lennon released in 1981.
  7. My Sweet Lord.....Songs like this seem to tell the tale, just maybe, he was the nicest Beatle?
  8. Got My Mind Set on You.....A decent song, but for many, crushed by Weird Al Yankovic.
  9. Isn't it a Pity.....This is a truly great song for a 7:00 minute song.  From "All Things Must Pass" album from way back in 1970.
10. When We Was Fab.....Yes, a tune he wrote actually as a joke about The Beatles years. Fascinating gem.
11. If You Believe.....This seems to be a little known underrated single. Must be why I originally had it as his "underrated song".
12. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll).....Not sure who Frankie is, but his song is groovyish.
13. Any Road.....It has a folk music sound, yet it still bleeds of George Harrison. Very rare.
14. Cloud 9.....A song good enough to name the album after.
15. Something.....This is the lone Beatle cover tune on the list. It's a beautiful song that reminds me of my wife. So, sentimental pick, right here.

UNDERRATED SONG: If You Believe.....The title tells you it's an inspiring cut. Solid music.
OVERRATED SONG: Rising Sun.....There had to be one turd in the punchbowl.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: Dream Away.....To be honest, I didn't know this song before I began researching for the list.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: I have never owned a Harrison album...ever. I did like "Brainwashed" and "Cloud 9" a little bit. But "All Things Must Pass" has plenty of good Harrison material, so much that it smells of a greatest hits album. Either way that's my selection.
