@FrlghtWolf Well, there is a first time for everything. I think "Piggies" is extraordinary, no matter if you have heard it before or not. As for the White Album being given a pass, few albums in the history of rock n' roll and pop have been more carefully examined and analyzed by musicians, as shows the enormous influence it has had. If any artist came with the White Album today, it would be the disc of the decade.

@Helmut83 - Well, I don't think I've ever heard "extraordinary"
to describe "Piggies". Even for someone who dislikes his music
I have always ascribed blame for this song on the era which it
was written. "Oh Blah Di, Blah Dah" and "Happiness Is A Warm
Gun" were all born out of the silliness of 1969. The White Albm
has always been given a pass. A bucket of unpolished Beatle
tunes had it's own appeal. Gently Weep's softer, quieter
version on Love alb was far superior to original.

@FrlghtWolf I don't think George's songs in the White Album were bad at all. I personally find "Piggies" extraordinary, a fine piece of baroque music that would have been highly rated if the composer was Paul. "Savoy Truffle" is a good powerful pop-rock song and "While my guitar gently weeps" is a nice rock ballad that turned into classic. "Long long long" is the only one that is rubbish in my opinion.

I so love this song.

@42suncIown well put!

@42suncIown - That's the difference between myself and a
"troll". I really dislike George's music and particularly disrespect
the man himself and his awkward fans. My god, Harrison seems
to attract such an uneducated fan base. Half of you can't write
and the other half is busy trying to inflate George's legacy. If
not for these fans claiming that George was the 2nd coming of
Mozart I would ignore this silliness. George was no Mozart!
Heck, George wasn't even a Donny Osmond!

@FrlghtWolf you are a f ing moron. Reading music is just a tool and has nothing to do with singing harmonies. And yes George Martin had a lot to do with the Beatles music and sound. SO? That's what producers do. Why do you have this chip on your shoulder? Nothing you can say is going to influence anyone. You are just making yourself look like a jealous idiot. Get over it, go listen to your American Idol crap and shut up already.

@frightwolf, If the music isn't for you, then just go away and listen to what you do like. I will take Beatles "throwaways" any day over most anything else. As for Harrison trying to get a hit, you must be joking, right? That is one guy that never sold out and always did what he wanted musically and played whatever he felt like. And if what you say is true that only die hard Harrison fans like All Things Must Pass then why do you care? Who made you the judge of music? You are a nobody.
Is this heaven?
