George Harrison HATED These 6 Beatles Songs

The Beatles' perceptions of their past through interviews changed considerably depending on the period each one was going through, and the closer the interview was to the breakup of the Beatles, the harsher and more critical the comments were towards their work with the band. Unlike Ringo who didn't get into much trouble, or John who could be too harsh with his comments, or Paul who almost always tried to speak well of the band, Harrison had a very particular humor and way of being when it came to commenting on almost anything related to the beatles. Little did he talk about songs he didn't like, but we tried to compile a few for this video.

George is on record saying his favorite Beatles albums were Rubber Soul and Revolver, i tend to agree.

[Igor_Vinicius]

In my opinion, "Don't Bother Me" is one of the best "first songs" in the history of music. A very good melody and a very interesting chord sequence.

When the Beatles were new to us in 1963, and fans were picking their favorite Beatle, I favored George mainly because he played LEAD guitar. Rest his soul.💖 I've been a Beatles fan ever since and always will be.

[BobGeogeo]

Don't Bother Me is better than George thought. It has always sounded good to me and suited to other Beatles music of the time.

[MrMuncieman]

I was glad to hear George say he could look back on his life and remember the good things God Bless Him, he was a good man!

The song Do you want to know a secret is one of my all time favorites.. It was played on the Beatles cartoons with the follow by lyrics on the screen. Absolutely one of my fondest musical memories as a 6 or 7 year old. Having George on lead vocals ??? and John n Paul on backing or harmony, just added a new and wider appeal and appreciation for their music. Dont bother me is great in my mind as well. But didn't increase the Beatlemania in my mind as much as the impact of Do you want to know a Secret? Which still today 60 years later is dear to my heart. Your comment about it being innocent couldn't be more accurate, because its takes me back to the innocence of my childhood.

I love George. His song "Long, Long, Long" from the White Album is simply haunting, specially the remixed version. I also love this deepcut "This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying") [Platinum Weird Version] from his Extra Texture album.

[jamesshields]

Georges masterpieces, like Something, While My Guitar..., Within You...etc. are my most favourite Beatles songs. Among the best ever written.

[BlueSaphire]

When the rest of the world got to know about them, these guys had been in each other's pockets for years. The madness that ensued upon said discovery only made the situation even more claustrophobic for them. I'm amazed that they were able to keep it together as long as they did, not to mention thankful for their incredible output.

Great video about George, he is one of my favorites right behind Ringo who is #1. The Beatles inspired so many musicians in 1964. I was one of them. Thanks friend

I've absolutely adored Within You Without You since I was 7 years old. My mum bought Sgt Peppers when it was released and it seemed she played it all day long. The mysterious sounds, lyrics and the luscious arrangement always enchanted me. I still find it magical to this day and is my favourite track on the album.

[Smedleydog]

Don't Bother Me is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I have found that I have a tendency to gravitate towards George's songs more. I never knew for many years that he wrote the song "Badge" for Eric Clapton and Cream. He was a much better song writer than people gave him credit for. Case in point, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was huge and Frank Sinatra said that the song "Something" was one of the greatest love songs.

[richardjarrell]

Of the four new songs on the YELLOW SUBMARINE album, George’s two tracks hold their own against the Lennon-McCartney pair. “It’s All Too Much” in particular is underrated.

[jesserussell]

I love George Harrison songs even the underrated ones including don’t bother me which is a fantastic song and it’s too bad that not guilty was not included on the white album I think it would’ve been great if it had been.

[Philtration]

"Don't Bother Me" is a great song.
John singing Maxwell's Silver Hammer just shows that he could have been a perfect fit on Monty Python's Flying Circus.

[AbbieHoffmansGhost]

There's no band I respect more as songwriters and performers but I would like to mention that other than interesting anecdotes it doesn't matter whether any of them liked particular songs or albums. When music is released it belongs to the listeners as much or more than those who wrote or performed it.

[dean-phww]

I love "Within You Without You." I've always liked George's Beatle songs. He was an awesome harmonizer.

[ryban]

George may have hated Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, but he was a professional and recorded some excellent guitar and bass on it!

[lashedbutnotleashed]

Say what you will, but "Long, Long, Long" is still one of my favorited Beatle's songs. Always has will be. Top five for sure.

[solfly]

I'm glad to see so many other people liking Don't Bother Me. I always loved that song. I can understand where George was coming from but to me, it kind of stood out and fit in at the same time. I love the vibe - it's very deliberate.
