#1196 George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

Somewhere along the way the 3rd more famous Beatle made an album that brings a lot of what you love about the Beatles, without quite sounding like its trying to recreate the Beatles. The songs don't sound as forcedly pop as Paul's, nor as defiantly un-pop as John's - this sounds like a guy out there doing what he wants to do, making the kinds of songs he'd like to make, and they're kind of great. Exciting, dense, easy, surprising, this is a powerfully listenable album 4.5/5
