Classic wise, I would have to say Something, but its not my personal favourite.

Surely 'I, Me, Mine' could have been put on instead of 'Piggies!!!!'
Not that I could choose between any of the others anyway. Always flippin to and fro. Right now I love 'Savoy Truffle.' Fat distorted brass parts!!!!!.........Nice!
Although this has been discussed recently, I suppose 'Something' is 'up there'. .........But I'm still not voting. :)

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (the Anthology version is the best imo)

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Savory Truffle, Piggies, Something then I Want To Tell You... Those are my top 5 with WhileMy Guitar Gently Weeps at #1.
Great artist, in my opinion.

Did I argue??????????
Merely suggested. Calm yourself down. Bit sensitive are'nt you?
As I said already (with humour) I will not be voting. I personally do not often vote in these kinds of polls. I mean George wrote a lot of good songs and when you have liked The Beatles for a while, your faves tend to change around all the time. So quit with the confrontational attitude and smile. I only offered other choices for people who
may have liked something not on your list. ::) Oh yeah, 'I Want To Tell You' is also a corker!

I´ve chosen SOMETHING, but it's hard, just to decide for one. Maybe tomorrow, it will be WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS and next week it'll be HERE COMES THE SUN.
Whatever, today it's SOMETHING.

My alltime favorite George-Beatles song is Here Comes the Sun. It's such a beautiful song, it gives me goosebumps listening to it.

Posted by: Will Campbell, January 7, 2005, 5:33am; Reply: 25
He wrote some great tracks, but the best (Here Comes The Sun) is here so no complaints from me.
Can't say enough about this track, but I've said it all before. Take Abbey Road off your cd shelf, open the case, put the disc in your player, choose track 7 and close your mind, relax and float downstream. It never fails to lift me up and carry me away. Superbly performed and recorded. :)

Probably not the greatest - but the one I most enjoy listening to:
Old Brown Shoe - mostly for the fabulous bass and backing vocals - no the whole damn thing. A song that flies.

Indeed it is, but itīs George being one of the guys in a way heīd never be before. He was close to it with Donīt Bother Me.
I vote for " Long Long Long ". Itīs George in so many words... and itīs my favourite one from him.

Posted by: harihead, January 4, 2008, 6:17pm; Reply: 62
This was really hard. I chose "Something", but I wanted to pick "The Inner Light/Love you to/Within you without you". So I went with the boring old 2nd-most-covered Beatles song ever, instead of the experimental popular inspiration for world music. Tough choice!

I voted for Here Comes the Sun. It's the only song that I never, ever get sick of listening to. If I listen to it 20 times in a row, I am still moved and uplifted by it on the 20th time.

The top three poll winners all all great contenders for me. Still, 'Something' takes it away for me because of it's shear beauty. Perfection.

I'd vote for 'If I Needed Someone' if I could.
I don't understand why 'The Inner Light/Love you to/Within you without you' are all grouped together as if they're identical just because of the Indian flavour. I'm not fond of WYWY, but I love 'Love You To'.

Among these, Something. But my fave George songs are 1. If I needed someone, 2. I need you, 3. Blue Jay Way

It's a cross between Something & While my Guitar Gently Weeps..

This poll was set up in the 18th century, when we had limited choices in the polls. Things are much better now. I've added Long Long Long and a couple of other songs to choose.

"Here Comes The Sun" is probably my first Beatle song. If i might say so myself, i think it was a good first choice.
I can't really remember the list that well?!?
But I do believe....the songs below were the first to follow after "HCTS".
And then, there was no stopping me! The songs just started to come, and they've never really stopped.
1)Girl
2)Across The Universe
3)Hey Jude

My top 10 George Songs:
1.) Here Comes the Sun
2.) I Want to Tell You (Very close second)
3.) Within You Without You
4.) Savoy Truffle
5.) Taxman
6.) If I Needed Someone
7.) For You Blue
8.) I Me Mine
9.) Piggies
10.) Don't Bother Me
These are my PERSONAL favorites. I recognize that "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" were better compositions than much of what I have on my list, but I just never really enjoyed those songs as much as some of his others.
Hard to order this list. So much of his work was just brilliant.
