I think George released more quasi-religious albums than mainstream rock albums as a solo artist since he was more spirtually in tune than his former bandmates.  All Things Must Pass could be considered a religious album just as much as a classic rock album but it is more rock than say Gone Troppo.  George as a solo artist could have been on any religious TV show just as much as any mainstream music show with his eastern inspired quasi-religious rock.

Or at least he wrote more spiritual songs. Not quite the same thing.

I think he sang rock that was more religious than most. His music is basically non secular, it's not like you'd hear it being sung in a church. (Or at least I don't think so)


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

i think they were rock albums that just contained alot of his spirituality in them. i don't personally consider them religious for that reason, though

I think George's solo albums were more spiritual than even most hardcore religious albums if you think about it while they're considered rock because he's a former Beatle but his only true solo masterpiece ATMP I would consider spiritual rock.

Hear Me Lord is the onl;y one on ATMP that seemed blatantly spritual.  My Sweet Lord seemed more of a generic-faith song.

I think there was a prevalent religious theme running through most if not all of his solo work, lyric-wise, 'All Glories..." etc.

I know Apple Scruffs, This Song, Not Guilty & Devil's Radio are great songs by George which aren't religious at all but the majority of tracks on his solo albums were more spirtual in context to be almost full blown eastern religious albums similiar to Jimmy Swaggart & Tammy Faye Bakker in the christian faith.

Well I believe George was a very spirtual guy and he created what he wanted to create. All of George's songs are very spiritual in a way, they all come from the spirit.

George once said that he wasn't too good at creating a song using fictional characters and situations like Eleanor Rigby. His songs came from him and what had affected him.
