History YMMV / GeorgeHarrison

** "My Sweet Lord". The lyrics are depressing considering he has passed away, and the rest of the song is chanting "Hallelujah", tambourines, and an acoustic guitar.

* SignatureSong: "My Sweet Lord".

** In one of his songs, "Writing's on the Wall", he sings about how one thought friends would last, until they were drunk away, shot away, or died away. The second part took on new meaning after John Lennon was shot and killed. The song was released in 1981 for the ''Somewhere in England'' album, but was written and recorded ''before'' that in 1980. And if that wasn't enough, the song was also the B-side to "All Those Years Ago".

** Harrison's tribute song to John Lennon: "All Those Years Ago". It's sung as if from the point of view of someone giving an apology, albeit too little too late. To add, this was as close as Harrison got to reuniting with the Beatles; Paul [=McCartney=], his then-wife Linda and Ringo Starr joined him for the effort, marking the first time those three former Beatles recorded together after the band broke up.

* {{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.

* FridgeBrilliance: Music/EricClapton was the musical director and MC for the above Concert for George, but for some inexplicable reason he rarely plays lead guitar. Then they come to a [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome truly epic rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"]] and you realize they've been saving Eric for this moment!

* FirstInstallmentWins / ToughActToFollow: His first solo album ''Music/AllThingsMustPass'' was by far the most well-received of all, and remains to this day the best-selling solo effort by a Beatle.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: After "My Sweet Lord" was released, its similarity to The Chiffons' earlier hit "He's So Fine" led to a huge copyright infringement lawsuit, in which Harrison ultimately had to pay $1.6 million in damages for "subconscious plagiarism."

* ArtistDisillusionment: Of all the Beatles, he was considered the hardest hit with this when their fame became overbearing.
