| Beatles songs written and sung by the "quiet | | | | You can hear this on the Past Masters Vol. 2 |
| Beatle" George Harrison. They are listed | | | | album or the "Blue" Greatest Hits. I recommend |
| alphabetically. Note that I am not counting as | | | | the Past Masters collections so you aren't getting |
| Beatles songs - those which were originally | | | | a lot of the songs twice. The Past Masters |

| Anthology 3 version.) | | | | "Only a Northern Song" - Yellow Submarine (1968) |
| "Blue Jay Way" - Magical Mystery Tour (1967) | | | | Of the 4 new songs on the Yellow Submarine |
| This was one of the Beatles most overtly | | | | soundtrack, 2 of them were George's. This one |
| psychedelic songs. This was when they were | | | | (which is OK) and "It's All Too Much" (which is |
| really throwing the "kitchen sink" into their | | | | awesome.) |
| recordings in the studio. While this is, admittedly, | | | | "Piggies" - The White Album (1968) |
| not one of The Beatles greatest tunes - I do | | | | Wonderfully weird, just like most of the rest of |
| enjoy it. Mostly because of the studio | | | | The White Album which is, in my opinion, The |
| experimentation I am referring to. | | | | Beatles greatest album. |
| "Don't Bother Me" - With The Beatles (1963) | | | | "Savoy Truffle" - The White Album (1968) |
| Harrison's very first song on a Beatles album. Not | | | | It actually took me a long time to get into this |
| particularly memorable, but not bad. | | | | song, but now I think it's pretty great. It's a |
| "For You Blue" - Let It Be (1970) | | | | grower. |
| A nice little song, although not one of my | | | | "Something" - Abbey Road (1969) |
| favorites. | | | | Frank Sinatra's favorite "Lennon/McCartney" song. |
| "Here Comes The Sun" - Abbey Road (1969) | | | | Yes he really said that. To this day I don't know if |
| One of The Beatles all time classics. During the | | | | that was a dig at Lennon/McCartney or if he |
| late '60s Harrison was at his peak as a songwriter. | | | | really didn't know they didn't write it. |
| The evidence is there in songs like this one and in | | | | "The Inner Light" - B-Side to "Lady Madonna" |
| his great solo debut, 1970's All Things Must Pass. | | | | (1968) |
| "I Me Mine" - Let It Be (1970) | | | | Can be heard on the Past Masters, Volume Two. |
| Not one of my favorites, although it has some | | | | All instrumentation was by Indian musicians on |
| interesting aspects to it. | | | | Indian instruements. The instrumental track was |
| "I Need You" - Help! (1965) | | | | actually recorded in Bombay, India. |
| I've always liked this song. In fact I'm a big fan of | | | | "Taxman" - Revolver (1966) |
| all of Harrison's songs in this era (Help!, Rubber | | | | Paul McCartney actually plays the lead guitar part |
| Soul, & Revolver) | | | | on this. McCartney's fast noisy guitar solos were |
| "I Want to Tell You" - Revolver (1966) | | | | inspired by Jimi Hendrix who was still mostly |
| Another Harrison song I've always liked. It's got | | | | unknown at the time. |
| this cool off kilter sound that makes it quite | | | | "Think for Yourself" - Rubber Soul (1965) |
| unique. | | | | Always seemed to me to be a bit of a brother |

| no song that sounds quite like this one. | | | | album. This was Harrison's only songwriting/lead |
| "Long, Long, Long" - The White Album (1968) | | | | singing contribution to that legendary album. |
| The perfect followup to "Helter Skelter." The | | | | "You Like Me Too Much" - Help! (1965) |
| Beatles go from impossibly loud to impossibly | | | | Reasonably catchy song - I like some of the vocal |
| quiet, just like that. A beautiful song. | | | | parts, but the lyrics are pretty bad. Not a Harrison |
