This is a very good article (IMO) about George's "My Sweet Lord."

I also agree with this statement from the article: 
QuoteHe was absolutely crucial to the Beatles' success, and yet he was still the third horse in a two-horse race.

"Harrison was my favorite Beatle: the funniest, the most musically curious, by far the best-looking. "

I dont agree;
John was the funniest..........his sharp wit, even his quip in this article "perhaps he thought God would sort of let him off" was very funny imo.

Paul was the best looking.

John was the most musical curios, not many artists actually change an art form forever, John did with his psychedelic rock, Tomorrow never Knows, Lucy, Strawberry Fields etc.

Paul was a close 2nd to John in this respect, he was very curios about other genre's like Jazz, Music Hall & Heavy Rock. Ohh and Stockhausen.
