Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#229)

(#229, Thirty Three & 1/3 by George Harrison)

George Harrison doesn't get the credit he deserves for helping to create the sound of The Beatles.  Yes, Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the lyrics, but George Harrison's guitar playing is the sound you remember from those great songs.  This album came out shortly after the debut of Saturday Night Live, and two songs from this album were featured on the show as videos (the first two music videos to ever be shown on the show).  I'll never forget George Harrison showing up at SNL, and trying to cash the $3,000 check from Lorne Michaels.






The two songs that SNL featured were "Crackerbox Palace" and "This Song" ...
