The Beatles fans decide on George Harrison's best song – with A Hard Day's Night track ...
The Beatles fans have seemingly decided on their favourite George Harrison song, with a lesser-known track beating Here Comes the Sun.
Though the legendary songwriter has tracks like Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Taxman, a song from the band’s third album, A Hard Day’s Night, reigns supreme. A post to r/TheBeatles on Reddit has since seen fans share their favourite songs sung by Harrison, and his earlier works have become a fast favourite of fans. Hundreds of comments were left on a thread which asked: “What’s your favourite Beatles song sung by George Harrison?” While songs like I Me Mine and While My Guitar Gently Weeps did appear, they were not the highest rated on the thread.
Instead, the song I’m Happy Just to Dance With You took a spot above Here Comes the Sun. One user suggested the song and it led to a flurry of replies suggesting it was the best vocal work Harrison had provided the Fab Four. One user wrote: “My first thought was this. He sounds so good on that song.” Another added: “Definitely a classic… his voice hits you differently than the others.”
Other users did suggest the more obvious choices from The Beatles’ discography, including Something. The song suggestion was the most upvoted comment on the thread and a clear favourite of Fab Four fans. One user replied: “It’s the most cliched answer but I’ll be damned if that song isn’t perfect in every way.”
Another wrote: “I mean, it’s a cliché for a reason. Sometimes the obvious answer is the best answer.” A third has since suggested the Anthology version of the track. They wrote: “I think the demo on the anthology is as perfect even tho it’s technically flawed. The demo of all things must pass is amazing as well.”
