I think All Those Years Ago is one of the " worst songs " by George as a solo artist even though it was " popular at the time " because it was soon after the death of his former bandmate John while the lyrics were heartfelt it's not as good as My Sweet Lord & Crackerbox Palace " which goes without saying " but ATYA is a mediocre single from a mediocre album Somewhere In England!

thanks for posting your opinion

Whats up with your posting your least favorite song of each artist in the exact same format in every solo forum?

Plus being worse than my sweet lord and crackerbox palace hardly wouldn't make it one of the worst songs he made, thinking you only listed two...

I happen to like this track.

Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. Your on a roll today. I know its just your opinion, but,,,,,,,,well, its a good song.

All Those Years Ago is a good song despite being " mostly mediocre " by George as a solo artist because My Sweet Lord & Crackerbox Palace are a " whole lot better " as solo classics.

We ALL know it's "JUST his OPINION" (rendering it practically valueless) yet he doesn't seem to have a clue.

What is "  it " about the Beatles & as solo artists I don't have a clue about anyway?  I know it's " only " my opinion, just like the " rest of you " clowns.

All Those Years Ago is a good song

I think the problem with All Those Years Ago is this:

It's a good poppy tune, well played; however, it is also supposed to be a song about John Lennon. For many listeners, the expected mood of the song clashes with the poppy presentation.

As an ode to John, it doesn't quite work. In fact, none of the Beatles' efforts to sing about their dead bandmates quite works.

All Those Years Ago – good song, but inappropriate for its purpose
Here Today – heartfelt, but the song is a bit loose; a missed opportunity
Never Without You – I used to like this, but have gone off it quite a lot. Seems too "tailor made".

Well ATYA wasn't written for John in the first place (as you undoubtedly know), it had different lyrics.  He modified it to be for John, but yeah, it is way too upbeat.

So true! 

Wayne can post rubbish sometimes...

Saying that All those years ago is one of the worst song of George is also rubbish...
