    Are we in bizarro world from the old DC comics where two of the three best songs the man ever wrote in his life are contenders for least favorite?

    The gorgeous Something gets the axe as Here Comes The Sun is such a breath of fresh air.

    I disagreed with most of the stages of how this poll unfolded but cannot agree with the end. Abbey Road was the only album where the George songs were overall on the same level as the Lennon McCartney songs.

    The Final Two are obvious choices. I prefer ' Here Comes The Sun ' over the somewhat oversweet ' Something ' but I would much rather have seen other songs make it to this stage.
    Oh , well...guess I should have acted earlier and bribed the poll maker.

    I voted for 'Here Comes the Sun' as least favourite.

    'Something' is easily - far and away - the best song George ever wrote. And is one of the 20-best Beatles songs ever written imo, not just among George's Beatle songs, but of all four writers combined.

    they are, in alphabetical order :

    A Day in the Life
    Because
    Blackbird
    Dear Prudence
    Eleanor Rigby
    Fixing a Hole
    Fool on the Hill
    Got to Get you Into my Life
    Help!
    Hey Jude
    I Should Have Known Better
    It's all too Much
    Norwegian Wood
    Nowhere Man
    Penny Lane
    Rain
    Something
    Strawberry Fields Forever
    With a Little Help From my Friends
    Yesterday


    my answer to the question :

    the poll-series got it right !
    :)

    I was thinking the exact same thing, then I read your post:

    On the other hand, maybe I’ll just give the forum members here the benefit of the doubt - Why do a poll of “least favorite” when you can do a poll for “favorite”....
    what’s the point?
    Perhaps the polling intent was a tad bit confusing ???

    Oh yeah... perhaps maybe to just try to criticize George Harrison’s worst songs?

    Voting off Here Comes the Sun.

    Question: What two songs do you wish were in the final?

    A very good question. I like the following most of all here (listed more or less in order of being voted off the island):

    Devil in Her Heart
    Roll Over Beethoven
    I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
    Blue Jay Way
    Only a Northern Song
    I Me Mine
    Long, Long, Long
    It's All Too Much
    Savoy Truffle
    While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    Something

    It's hard to pick a favourite or two out of this bunch, but I would rule out Blue Jay Way and Savoy Truffle. I'd probably go with It's All too Much and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Today ...

    I voted HCTS but with some context that while Something is, in my opinion, a VERY slightly greater song, HCTS is a better Beatles song.

    This is a fine list of great songs. The thing is there could be another list of 30 songs just as good. And another. And another.
