he always stroke me as a waste of potential
the dude had a few nice ideas, but worked very little to make them into something polished
out of his almost 30 songs with The Beatles, only a handful are actually good, most are forgettable filler that made it into the albums because the rest of the band didn't feel it was right to dismiss him
his guitar skills were very mediocre, and he never improved. Most of his solos and licks are mediocre, poorly played, or just plain awkward
he was always trying to shove that stupid sitar everywhere, and never got around to actually learning it or making a good song of it. He was like those white chicks who play the ukelele
he really was getting somewhere by the time The Beatles were done, which is why his best songs are in the final albums, and his first solo project, ATMP
but then again, he lacked the discipline to really polish and work out his ideas. ATMP has great tunes, but it's also an overproduced mess, and he never got around to making anything that good anymore
I used to actually like him, because he seemed like an ok person who had little voice with the band, but the more I looked into him, the more I found out that he actually had more than he deserved
he was a whiny lazy twat, constantly threatening to leave the band whenever things didn't go his way
