Where's George Harrison?

Before I start, let me say I'm the biggest Beatle fan around. In fact, I'm listening to "Nowhere Man" from Tokyo, 1966 right now. Anyway, I love George Harrison. Great guitarist, great songwriter. However, he was never a flashy soloist. The three flashiest solos in the Beatles' catalogue were played by either Eric Clapton ("Gently Weeps") or Paul McCartney ("Taxman," "Good Morning"). George pulled off some great ones ("Something," the LP version of "Let it Be," "Dig a Pony," "Old Brown Shoe") but nothing that made you say "Wow, what was *that*?"

"Here Comes the Sun". George H. was the first Beatle after the breakup to have a smash album. "All Things Must Pass" was "Album of the Year" when it came out in 1971 or 72. And he had a lot of friends helping him. His talents were really stifled while he was with the Beatles, John and Paul dominated.
