Love all the comments and different points of view!  
I always thought, as stated before, that George probably just didn't talk quite as much as the others, but didn't have to.  He had that attitude (not a bad thing) and look that just screams "cool". And when he did talk and didn't say a whole lot, what little he did say was enough in itself.

Im new to the board btw, and happy to be here!

Hello, HeatherBoo! Welcome to the Forums.

my dad says its not that George is really quiet and serious, its just that he has a darker sense of humor. " like me" he said. i'm not sure if i totally agree, because George was funny and witty, but i havent really seen that dark side he was talking about yet. if anyone understands what he meant by that, could you elaborate?

Quoted from Kevin

It gets worse. Seems Here Comes The Sun is really a McQuinn/Clapton/Harrison composition:
"The song had its genesis with a songwriting collaboration between Harrison and close friend Eric Clapton called "Badge," recorded by Clapton's group Cream, and featuring an arpeggiated guitar riff that is similar to the one that forms the bridge of "Here Comes the Sun."
Harrison capoed his guitar on the 7th fret, resulting the final key of A major. He also used the same technique on his 1965 song "If I Needed Someone," which shares a similar melodic pattern."

Are you mixing things up here?

Specifically, because George played that arpeggiated riff on both songs are you saying that therefore he didn't write it? I always thought it was George, and he just used it in two different songs. Is there something to the contrary that you are referring to?

Moving beyond that, excepting the riff (George's, right?), I don't recall much if any similarity between the two songs, do you? If not, why would "Here Comes the Sun" be a McGuinn/Clapton/Harrison composition?

I'm not completely gaga about George, but I think this is going a bit too far. But, if I'm wrong about this, please correct me!

Thanks!

Thanks, Alexis. Nice point.

Paul and John also on occasion used similar riffs/elements/chord progressions etc. from song to song. I think most songwriters do. But you can't plagiarize yourself!

Eric Clapton writes in his autobiography about watching George write HCTS in his garden, how cool it was watching him tweak and fashion it. He doesn't mention any contributions that he made, just his enjoyment at watching George work.

TWO NAMES: John & Paul
There wasn't much hope for George or Ringo under John & Paul.
Lets face it, John & Paul got most of the attention half the time.
The only way for Georgie to prove himself, was through his music.
Which was limited to two or three, if not that, songs on each LP or album.
Same thing with Ringo.
But I do believe he got less than George, because he was the drummer.

I think maybe because George seems to be more of a sit back and listen more than a talker like Paul. Maybe George just feels he doesn't have to justify himself to others.

Yes that to of course, but it also deals a lot with the public's eye always on John & Paul.
If you watch most of their earlier interviews, maybe even later ones, most of the questions are directed to John & Paul.
I mean, when you think about it, it makes sense.
John always had something to say. (Good or bad hah)
And Paul was basically the hottie in the group, everybody wanted to hear him talk.

when I think about it it's always been like that.

I mean on American Idol they call it the "Lennon/ McCartney" songbook. they DID write the majority of the songs but why not call it the Beatles songbook?

Exactly, my point.

Poor Ringo and George always left out  

I ve read that people who knew George said that he was a very talkative person, in fact he would chat for hours on end. I think he was called the quiet Beatle cause he disliked arguing, never raised his voice and was always calm.

probably

He's probably the type where your shy until you get to know someone then you open up.  Like me.  People first meet me they think I am sweet and innocent    Then they get to know me...some people don't get my sense of humor  

No, no! Very often George spoke first. Remember George was the first to speak to George Martin when they came to his studio, he critisized his tie! George wasn`t shy, by no means, he was just peaceloving, peaceable, quiet.
Your sense of humour is great, HeatherBoo!!!
