* {{Wangst}}: While it can't be denied that being a Beatle probably wasn't the easiest thing in the world and that CelebrityIsOverrated was quick to take hold, some of Harrison's later comments about how much he hated being in the band could take on this edge; he ''was'' still in a pretty enviable position compared to a lot of people, after all.

Most of the criticism his post-''All Things Must Pass'' material in the '70s got pointed out at this.

"My Sweet Lord" is arguably more ear-wormy than "Got My Mind Set on You," so I am adding it but leaving it as a YMMV, for obvious reasons of subjectivity.
