I don't think so. I assembled (or should I say I tried to assemble) a CD called "The Best of George," and only got about 45 minutes worth of material.
The songs I picked were:
01: Piggies 02: Here Comes The Sun 03: Only A Northern Song 04: Something 05: You Like Me Too Much 06: Think for Yourself 07: Savoy Truffle 08: I Want To Tell You 09: If I Needed Someone 10: Its All Too Much 11: While My Guitar Gently Weeps 12: Taxman 13: Old Brown Shoe 14: I Me Mine 15: You Know What To Do 16: I Need You
I never liked "Long Long Long," so I left that aside. Also wasn't crazy about "Don't Bother Me."
Any other George-penned songs I'm overlooking? |

I take it you don't like the 'Indian' songs, so:
For You Blue
There's also Not Guilty, on Anthology, but personally I wouldn't put that on a best of. |

I think it was more of an observation based on you not including most of his Indian-influenced songs on your collection. "Love You To" is one of my all-time favorites.  Anyway, here's an alpha-ordered list. Pick and choose as you like; it's your CD: Blue Jay Way Don't Bother Me For You Blue Here Comes The Sun I Me Mine I Need You I Want To Tell You If I Needed Someone It's All Too Much Long, Long, Long Love You To Old Brown Shoe Only A Northern Song Piggies Savoy Truffle Something Taxman The Inner Light Think For Yourself While My Guitar Gently Weeps Within You Without You You Like Me Too Much |

You wanted advice. Their were also other songs you left off. Other people can't guess what your taste is. |

It doesn't sound like anything. The recording is terrible, too, insofar as comparing it to the other songs found on Whitey. You know its true when George claims Paul kept him down. That's a pretty pitiful list of songs when compared to the body of work churned out by Macca and Lennon. |

Or that George just wasn't up to it. You can't blame Paul for everything. |

I think it's one of the most atmospheric tracks The Beatles ever recorded , but i know where your coming from i have a similar problem with The Long And Winding Road .  Georges output might have been small compared to John and Paul , but a good dozen of his songs from The Beatles era are still very well known ? And in writing " Something " alone he wrote a standard which as been recorded by the likes of Sinatra . DaveRam  |

Ditto. I think it's one of George's strongest vocal performances as well. I don't see what you mean by" badly recorded." And it sits so beautifully after Helter Skelter. I can't imagine one without the other |

Well, to me is one of the most perfectly recorded Beatle tracks. I love the fact that after all that loud and crazy ending of Helter Skelter you just have turn up the volume of the stereo. Long Long Long is one of my favourites of George, his best from the White Album. |
