[1960-1969 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1969, #83 [Not Available on iTunes]
It had to be tough to be George Harrison. He was an accomplished guitarist, and a member of the greatest Rock N Roll band of all time. On the other hand, he was in the shadow of John and Paul, and struggled to get his songs recognized through that Lennon/McCartney juggernaut.
Still, George had his moments of greatness, and Something was one of them. It's as pure and simple a love song as you'll ever hear, yet it's intangibles set it above. The best part of the song is the bridge - simple but powerful.
With all the great music that The Beatles made, I suppose the one regrettable thing is that George didn't get to make more songs. At least we have Something.
