the idea of this thread is to pick three songs which you love best from the album which turn it is and post that. One post per album.

Have fun and make a new choise please.

No use to keep explaining, most people probably look at the title and think that's it about favourtie George songs, and just post without reading the first or other posts.

[beatlebangs1964]

Writing's on the Wall
Unconscious Rules
All Those Years Ago

[lennonluvr9]

Perhaps you should go on to the next album? We've been on this one for awhile...

That's What It Takes

I usually find the more unknown album tracks better then the well known single tracks, but while all the tracks are great and it's still dificult to pick just three, these songs just stood out for me.

I'm not doing any of the Travelling Wilbury's stuff because that isn't George's solo work. Instead, we move onto his final album, Brainwashed

If there are any songs I've missed, please let me know now for the next round, otherwise this is going to be the final one before the knockout stages.

-

Any Road
P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night)
Pisces Fish
Looking For My Life
Rising Sun
Marwa Blues
Stuck Inside a Cloud
Run So Far
Never Get Over You
Rocking Chair in Hawaii

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is not listed since it was a cover, which is a shame because it's one of my faves!

Is that every song covered? Are there any I may have accidentally missed out? If not, then it'll be time to move onto the playoff stages!

[ABCKO]

What about some of his non-album songs, like "Horse to the water'' ?

[FPSHOT]

I 2nd that, the single Bsides and non-album songs like what ABCKO said, and "Bangla-Desh" as example, and maybe the rejected Somewhere In England songs which were part of the special package, also Poor Little Girl and others from that compilation album which we did not have yet here.

[Harbidge]

Do any of these unknown tracks stand a chance of becoming the greatest Harrison song? It just seems like a huge deal to go through all of the past results to search for the odd couple of obscure, missed ones that only a small proportion of people have probably heard if they aren't going to get past the second stage.

[FPSHOT]

I went through them Harb

I think what is left would be (close to)

Bangla Desh
Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business
Deep Blue
Flying Hour (from SONGS OF GEORGE HARRISON 1)
Horse To The Water
Poor Little Girl
Sat Singing (from SONGS OF GEORGE HARRISON 1)

[Legs]

And most of them are really great songs, among George's greatest.
I believe "Lay His Head" is missing, or was that song already done somewhere somehow.

[FPSHOT]

"Lay His Head" was included in the Cloud 9 list.

[beatlebangs1964]

Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business
Deep Blue

[ABCKO]

Cheer Down
Horse To The Water
Poor Little Girl

[Beatlelover]

Cheer Down
Poor Little Girl
Sat Singing

[sourmilkpinky]

are we voting?

[old_moon_shining]

Poor Little Girl
Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business

[Legs]

are we voting?

It seems that way even tho Harb hasn't said he will do another round with the current list, which altho it seems complete, hasn't been agreed upon yet.

[SF4-EVER]

If we are voting, here are my choices:


Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business
Horse To The Water

[sourmilkpinky]

well then:
Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business
Poor Little Girl

[taxman]

Cheer Down
Cockamamie Business
Poor Little Girl

I thought voting was in March?
Well then, Pvda it is.

They probably won't win but neither will the winning songs from some of the other albums. These are good, sound work and had a lot of appeal for their time period. For some of us there is an extra little something that we appreciate.

[Harbidge]

I'll go with that final list, sounds okay. I've counted up the current votes for it - if anybody hasn't yet voted and would like to then you have until Wednesday before voting ends and the playoff stages start.

Current scoretable is:

Bangla Desh - 0
Cheer Down - 7
Cockamamie Business - 5
Deep Blue - 1
Flying Hour - 0
Horse To The Water - 2
Poor Little Girl - 5
Sat Singing - 1

Cheer Down

[beatlebangs1964]

Deep Blue

[Harbidge]

Horse To The Water - 5
Bangla Desh - 3
