Got My Mind Set On You is a great song but it’s a cover version so that knocks it down in terms of excellence imo.

You know I usually am pretty up on that but didn't realize that song was a cover. Thanks for the info.

I remember thinking “Maybe I’m Amazed”
was an excellent song when it was released. I still do.

Maybe the not the best Harrison song, but one I really enjoy, sort of his "tribute" to the beatles

I thought McCartney's work with Elvis Costello on Flowers in the Dirt was pretty solid.

My Brave Face
You Want Her Too

Both good tunes.

I never like McCartney's Wings songs. Too Pop.

Lennon and Harrison were much better IMHO.

I'm probably here. Here or "Live and Let Die" by Maca.

George Harrison might be the one Beatle that can rightfully claim he was better without them than he was with them


We'll never really know, because he was just coming into his own as a songwriter there at the end. I mean, 2 of his 3 best songs with the group were on Abbey Road (Something and Here Comes the Sun).

I agree, but John supposedly helped him out a lot with Something. A LOT-A LOT.

Here Comes the Sun was all George. Actually all Lennon did on that one was handclaps and backing vocals.

Written by George if I'm not mistaken.

The Faces did a version of Maybe I'm Amazed in studio, live version on an album, and performed on TV in '71 with Rod and Ronnie Lane on vocals.

I thought only Paul and Ringo played on it with George
