>best song he ever made was some boring boomerslop love song nobody cares about anymore
Pffffftt.....

His best song was Far East Man. There’s also probably 4 or 5 songs on ATMP that are better than Something.

"something" was lame.
john and paul just hyped it because george was crying about no respect non-stop for forever.

>>127052916
it sure got covered by many dozens of adult contemporary and washed up crooner people from pre-Elvis days

His signature song has more views than every zoomer band combined.

>something" was lame.

lol son the little doo doo doot doot doo after the chorus is one of their most iconic moments

>>127052922
what, did you think Patti Page and Perry Como were going to cover "She's So Heavy?"

>>127052922
that's probably more a demerit than indication of quality rock.
beatles totally ran music industry in that period.
old has-been's had to latch onto that somehow, and picked out the most old-fashioned, non-challenging stuff available.
it's not a bad song, but the hype for a kind of bland, paint-by-numbers love song is way odd.

"Yesterday" was also a very hot item and it got covered way more than "Something" even.

>>127052177 (OP)
Of the many Something covers I only thought Peggy Lee's was up to the original and she was the first person to cover it. I didn't really like Sinatra's cover that much.

>>127053028
it's interesting how later on in the 70s all the old washed up singers from earlier days were doing disco songs

>>127053028
Maybe those more classic American songbook style songs legitimized them for some people. Maybe it made themself and their fans feel like they were more than a boy group. Is that like pandering to grown ups

>>127052177 (OP)
Sweetie Here comes the sun has 3x the streams of Hey Jude.

Stop coping, George was talented.

>>127053028
the Beatles had advantages and resources probably no one in pop music will ever have again.

>access to all of England's top studios, session musicians, producers
>unlimited budgets for their albums
>if they wanted the London Symphony Orchestra on a track all they had to do was get on the phone

>>127053044
Yesterday aged like Milk tho. Its the equivalent of a ringtone these days

>>127053044
When fucking Kate Smith covers Yesterday you know you done gone too far.

Paul and John got paid for each of those millions of Yesterday covers so I doubt they minded it lol.

>Frank Sinatra began performing Something live in 1971 and shortly afterwards went into the studio to record it. He called it "the greatest love song of the last 50 years." To about 1978 he incorrectly referred to the writers of Something as Lennon-McCartney until being finally corrected about Harrison's authorship.

>Harrison himself was surprised and not especially pleased at Sinatra covering his song. "I just didn't care much about him," the Beatles guitarist recalled. "To me he was part of the generation before mine. I was much more interested in James Brown's and Shirley Ellis's covers of the song." He eventually warmed to the Sinatra version and by 1992 had begun performing it live with the slightly modified lyrics from the cover.

ok

you know how it always was. you had to do a slow soulful song somewhere to be taken seriously.

>>127053028
Not just old has-beens but current MOR singers as well.

>>127052943
Isnt that simply because of Prince stelaing the show though.

>>127053076
Patti Page did a reasonably ok cover. Many of them just feel like ticking a box off on a list and fail to capture the emotion of the song, which is one reason why Peggy's cover succeeds where most of them failed.

Tony Bennett's "Something" which CBS basically made him do at gunpoint. kek.

>>127054845
you can tell from his slightly detached, dispassionate delivery that he wasn't "feeling" the song

>>127053118
Remember that Paul and Ringo loved showtunes and standards while John and George did not they only liked rock.

He was the only dispensable Beatle.

>>127052177 (OP)
Here Comes the Sun is the most well-known Beatles song in the 21st century.
How do George haters deal with this fact?

Living In The Material World [Apple, 1973]
If you call this living. George sings as if he's doing sitar impressions and four other people in the room, including a little man in my head I'd never noticed before, expressed intense gratitude when I turned the damned thing off during "Be Here Now." Inspirational verse: "The leaders of nations/Are acting like big girls." C

>>127052177 (OP)
please keep making more threads about how boring he is
i didnt get it the first 500 times

George is best Beatle

This dude would be nothing without the blessings of Spector.
