ReplyDeleteharrison...genius, inspired, just the right level of 60s idealism, love the influences of eastern spiritualism in the melodies and lyrics.

ReplyDeleteBased on their best 4 or 5 songs, I'm going with Harrison:
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know, Harrison had three pop masterpieces: the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" and Something," and the Traveling Wilburys' "Handle With Care." Two other gems are his solo song "Blow Away" and "Photograph," a collaboration with Ringo Starr.
Nash was responsible for a couple of good Hollies songs, and other than that I know only of his CSN(Y) work. "Wasted on the Way" compares favorably to Harrison's best, and while "Just a Song Before I Go," "Teach Your Children," and "Our House" are each excellent, I'd say Harrison, hands down.
