I don't think that George made religious albums because not all of his song were religious. When he wrote songs that sounded religious I think that he only wrote about what he believed in. He has written plenty of songs that weren't religious.

I don't think his albums were religous as much as they were spiritual. But that wasn't his only focus. He was well rounded I think.

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside.

I think George's solo albums were more religious in content lyrically than rock & roll oriented than most Beatles fans would want to admit.  He did rock out a few times as a solo artist but his sprituality got in the way most of the time.

How can spirituality "get in the way" of rock and roll? Just because other bands have "Sympathy for the Devil", doesn't mean that George should have to comprimise his thoughts and feelings just so he can make a succesful rock album.


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

I never said that but you did.  I think George made about 50-90 solo albums when it comes to his rock & religious output as an artist with his masterpiece All Things Must Pass being 100% rock & roll with a little bit of religious overtones.

Quoted from Biscuit_Power
I just said he preached about Krishna contiousness and often used Krishna's Name and symbol even though he didn't even follow the basic rules of KC (no smoking, no alcohol, no drugs, no casual sex, no desire for material posessions, no meat, no eggs).


It's also indicated that such things are not entirely possible in this degraded age (If you belive this age is degraded) and that in the Vedas it is said that the only way of attaining KC is by chanting the KC chant and always thinking and seeing Krishna (GOD) in whatever you do and in whatever you see.

I'm now rolling a joint for Krishna.  

Tis rather swell as beliefs go. IMO.

If his music is spiritual? Music? Notes? I don't think so. But the lyrics, most of them are really spiritual. Some are blue, some are satiric and so on.
