Wow, "Wonderwall"? Interesting choice.Originally Posted by mogrooves
Yeah, I bought it when it came out and found it quite "different" and intriguing; not that I'd go out of my way to recommend it unreservedly, mind you.....

Well that is the fantastic thing about music. It can impact so differently from person to person. I almost can't listen to DH. Except the title track which i think was much better on Live In Japan.
And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.
Rather surprized to see many Harrison mentioning here. He's pale in comparison to L & M imo. All things must pass - what to listen to on this album? I even prefer his last, Brainwashed.
I must admit I've always been utterly baffled by the amount of praise heaped on All Things Must Pass on Progressive Ears. Talk about filler!!
The only Beatles solo I'm really familiar with is Lennon - top 3: Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Mind Games...
ATMP is as good as any solo album and better than most. There's no filler, IMO, unless you count the Apple Jam disk, which was not really part of the two-disc album, so it doesn't count.
No filler to my ears. What I hear is material that had been developing during the previous two years, but had no place on any Beatles albums, where he was limited to two tracks per release. It's great!

5. Standing Stone
no mention of Chaos And Creation In The Backyard or Living In The Material World or Double Fantasy??
To me Harrison made 3 of the absolute best solo Beatle albums. All Things Must Pass, Cloud Nine and Brainwashed.

What about "Wah Wah"? It was the first song I liked off that album but after getting to know the album inside/out, I've come to realize it sucks. It's trite and over-produced.
The first "Isn't It A Pity" is too long, but otherwise a decent song, I guess. I always thought "Awaiting On You All" was kinda lame. And "Apple Scruffs" was a song I always skipped. But then, hell, isn't there usually a song or two on any album that you skip? Otherwise I agree with you. As I see it, 15 out of 18 songs are at least really good, about half being excellent.
Incidentally, from Wikipedia: "as of January 2011, All Things Must Pass had sold more than Lennon's Imagine album (1971) and McCartney and Wings' Band on the Run (1973) combined."
I don't know how I missed that I put in two #4s. Chalk it up to age, I guess. So, my revised list, eliminating Yoko's Plastic Ono Band (which I still consider a solo Beatles album) and Concert for Bangladesh (given the non-George performances & songs):
1. All Things Must Pass
2. Walls and Bridges
3. Wings Over America
4. Tie: Imagine, Band on the Run

If you count Wings as "solo Beatles":
1. Band on the Run
2. Ram
3. Imagine
4. Wings Over America
5. Plastic Ono Band
I love Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard. English Tea is my favorite song from that CD, because it sounds like a Beatles song.
