George was underappreciated as a Beatles and was the only Beatle who did anything worth listening to after the breakup.

"All Things Must Pass" was ok, but "Dark Horse" had too much of the Indian sound and lotsa filler. "Extra Texture" was mostly worthless. I gave up after that, but even the single off of 33 1/3 ("Crackerbox Palace") wasn't anything special. "All Those Years Ago" was okay. I only know the singles off of "Living in the Material World", and certainly have no use for the Hare Krishna lyrics in "My Sweet Lord". Overall, pretty dismal output in my opinion.
The other three all had listenable stuff too, with McCartney putting in the most consistent effort (I LIKED "Venus and Mars" and "Junior's Farm") and Ringo just doing what he felt like doing ("Goodnight Vienna" was a good album).
John Lennon was a bit too self-absorbed. "Rock'n'Roll" was a waste (the originals of his covers were uniformly superior). The singles off of "Walls and Bridges" were good, and that's all. I have even less use for "Imagine" than for "My Sweet Lord". "Starting Over" was a very good half-album, but the other half was Yoko Ono, which is good for negative points.

Agree. All Things Must Pass is the best of the solo efforts. Only one i have in my library except for a handful of individual songs.
