It’s a tough call, but my favorite track is “If Not For You”. Though not written by Harrison, it reminds me of his Help! / Rubber Soul love songs. Short, sweet and to the point.
1 | Dave November 7th, 2010 at 7:06 pmIsn’t it a Pity, followed closely by Wah Wah.
2 | Art Coulson November 7th, 2010 at 7:07 pmApple Scruffs
3 | Will November 7th, 2010 at 7:11 pmWah-Wah is my fave. That song just blows me away every time.
4 | Valerie November 7th, 2010 at 7:13 pmMy favorite track would have to be “Beware of Darkness.”
5 | Brian Salvatore November 7th, 2010 at 7:14 pmHard to choose….Right now I’ll go with What is Life
6 | Chris November 7th, 2010 at 7:14 pmMy favorite track would have to be the EPIC “My Sweet Lord”. “Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)” is a close second though.
7 | Ivan November 7th, 2010 at 7:17 pmMy choice would be “Let It Down,” although the demo is even better.
8 | Peter November 7th, 2010 at 7:17 pm“Behind That Locked Door”.
9 | David Jones aka Johnny Bacardi November 7th, 2010 at 7:18 pm“Let it Down” for sure. Great tune, powerful and the Spector production works on this tune, even though it shouldn’t.
10 | Lloydie November 7th, 2010 at 7:19 pmBehind That Locked Door
11 | Ross Flournoy November 7th, 2010 at 7:19 pm“What is Life” is probably the song that sticks with me most…
12 | Michael Roeder November 7th, 2010 at 7:27 pmMy Sweet lord.
But really if I’m listening to anything it’s going to be the whole thing.

14 | Peter C November 7th, 2010 at 7:27 pmMy Sweet Lord
15 | Andrew November 7th, 2010 at 7:27 pm“Awaiting on You All”
16 | Patrick November 7th, 2010 at 7:32 pmI have this on the original vinyl with the Apple logo. I love the songs “Isn’t It a Pity” and “Beware of Darkness”. The whole album is great

17 | Jeff Kinzer November 7th, 2010 at 7:33 pm“If Not For You”
18 | Robbie November 7th, 2010 at 7:37 pmI’m going to have to go with the title track. As the years go by, every event that leads to a nostalgic/mournful/wistful feeling aso demands a few spins of “All Things.” I’ve always thought that “All Things Must Pass,” along with “After the Gold Rush,” “God,” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” are the great eulogies of the 1960s.
19 | A.J. November 7th, 2010 at 7:42 pmplease please please isaac Soloway isolstro@gmail.com
20 | isaac November 7th, 2010 at 7:42 pmI know it’s a lighter cut on a heavy album, but “Apple Scruffs” has always stuck out for me.
21 | shayne November 7th, 2010 at 7:43 pmIf Not For You
22 | Jamie Mottram November 7th, 2010 at 7:47 pmTough to pick one, but “Wah-Wah” has a special place in my heart. Thanks for making me think of it.
23 | Duncan Smith November 7th, 2010 at 7:51 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp is an all-timer.
24 | gabe November 7th, 2010 at 7:52 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp
25 | Geoffrey Wayne November 7th, 2010 at 7:53 pmBehind That Locked Door.
26 | Eric November 7th, 2010 at 8:04 pmThanks.
I go for Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp as do a few other readers I see…
27 | SAG November 7th, 2010 at 8:08 pmRun Of The Mill
28 | Jesse November 7th, 2010 at 8:10 pmI would think that Wah-Wah is the one for me. It really cranks!
29 | J Scott L November 7th, 2010 at 8:11 pmHave to go with the “Isn’t It a Pity” off the first side, first disc.
30 | Casey White November 7th, 2010 at 8:13 pmLet It Down
31 | Emma Schneiderman November 7th, 2010 at 8:13 pmGotta be “What Is Life”. No questions asked. I’m surprised only one other person has chosen it. Oh well.
32 | Todd November 7th, 2010 at 8:13 pmhmm i like the looseness of Out of the Blue and I Remember jeep. and the tightness of All Things Must Pass the title track.
33 | cant think of anything clever November 7th, 2010 at 8:23 pm“My Sweet Lord”
34 | Bobby J November 7th, 2010 at 8:27 pmIsn’t It A Pity is my favorite for sure.
35 | Jeff November 7th, 2010 at 8:34 pm“All Things Must Pass”
36 | Nik November 7th, 2010 at 8:36 pm“Wah-Wah” gets me, almost every time.
37 | Aarika November 7th, 2010 at 8:37 pmAll Things Must Pass
38 | Tait Stamp November 7th, 2010 at 8:42 pmBeware of Darkness
39 | matt November 7th, 2010 at 8:48 pmwah-Wah…I once made a playlist on my iPod that was all ex-Beatles tracks about being a Beatle “God” “How do You Sleep” “Too Many People” “If You Were Here Today” “When We Was Fab” but Wah-Wah by Harrison is genius
40 | alex ross November 7th, 2010 at 8:49 pm“What is Life” is my favorite. It is just full of that barely-contained-energy of a full heart, from the guitar opening, to the explosive horns, and that sing along (at the top of your lungs) chorus.
41 | Eliza James November 7th, 2010 at 8:53 pmi have and always will love “I’d have you anytime”
42 | Zac Harris November 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pmWhat is Life.
43 | Neil McKay November 7th, 2010 at 9:11 pmBallad of Sir Frankie, always. But oh, what I wouldn’t do for all the other songs as well
44 | Adeline November 7th, 2010 at 9:28 pmI am the dark horse.
45 | Rich November 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pmGotta be “Beware of Darkness”.
46 | Kyle Hunsberger November 7th, 2010 at 9:33 pmMy Sweet Lord. Most of the songs are good; the jams less so.
47 | Bruce November 7th, 2010 at 9:35 pmEasy, the title track, “All Things Must Pass.”
48 | Juan November 7th, 2010 at 9:36 pmApple Scruffs
49 | Josh November 7th, 2010 at 9:38 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp is my personal favorite.
50 | Phil November 7th, 2010 at 9:42 pmWhat is Life. (no doubt)
Top 3 albums of all time
51 | Matthew G November 7th, 2010 at 9:43 pm1. Van Morrison: Astral Weeks
2. Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
3. George Harrison: All Things Must Pass
Today? “Apple Scruffs.”
52 | gardner November 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pmWah-Wah.
Easy.
53 | Chris November 7th, 2010 at 9:46 pmThanks for the Pepperoni…okay, not really…Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, it is.
54 | Andrew November 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pmcurrently… #1 What Is Life and 2nd up, even though you didn’t ask for second favorite… Thanks for the Pepperoni
55 | minorkeys80 November 7th, 2010 at 10:12 pmIsn’t it a pity, my favorite… It’s hard to chose. What a fantastic record.
56 | Steven November 7th, 2010 at 10:15 pm“Let it down”
57 | Matt Lacorazza November 7th, 2010 at 10:16 pm“Beware of Darkness” is not only the best song on the record, it’s the best song recorded by a member of the Beatles, post-Beatles. Yes. Okay, “Gimme Some Truth” is as good (but not better).
58 | Chris November 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm“wah-wah”
59 | theMike November 7th, 2010 at 10:32 pm“My Sweet Lord.” The Billy Preston version from the Concert for George is well worth checking out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvH6fxP5hMo.

64 | k November 7th, 2010 at 11:19 pmMy Sweet Lord. But mostly I need a copy because I lost the poster that came with my original one. this one does have the big poster pull out , correct?
65 | malcolm sosa November 7th, 2010 at 11:38 pm“I Dig Love”…

89 | Karen Doherty November 8th, 2010 at 7:25 amArt of Dying
90 | Craig November 8th, 2010 at 7:38 amHas to be “If Not For You”

92 | Patrick Flanary November 8th, 2010 at 7:40 amAwaiting on You All, but this question is impossible.
93 | thegoodbyeradio November 8th, 2010 at 7:41 am“What Is Life” is, hands down, the reason that I first investigated this album. There are so many great tunes on those three LPs that it’s little surprise to see how varied the answers are here.

96 | Kevin November 8th, 2010 at 7:53 amPick me…its easy to hear the formation of Derek and the Dominos on many of these tracks (Wah Wah).
Bobby Whitlock is great, but Carl Radle is the man. Jim Gordon…a little scarey.
Please.

101 | Taylor Wheeler November 8th, 2010 at 8:19 amRight now I’m really digging the title track
102 | Mark H November 8th, 2010 at 8:22 am“Here Me Lord” is my favorite. This album nearly trumps Electronic Sound
103 | Bren November 8th, 2010 at 8:39 am“Hear Me Lord” that is…
104 | Bren November 8th, 2010 at 8:41 amBeware of Darkness

111 | Lauren Gilpin November 8th, 2010 at 9:04 am180 Moss Way, Oakland, CA 94611
“I’d Have You Anytime”
112 | chad clark November 8th, 2010 at 9:13 amwah wah
113 | brent rowley November 8th, 2010 at 9:16 amMe being as anti-pop radio as I am, I never gave the Beatles much of chance. Then I discovered this album in my dad’s record collection it made me reconsider my views. Now I’m as big a fan as everyone else and I can thank Mr. Harrison for that. My favorite track is “Wah-Wah.”
114 | Brandon November 8th, 2010 at 9:24 amAbout half a dozen I go back and forth between. Today it’s “Behind That Locked Door” because of the My Morning Jacket cover version.
115 | Alex S. November 8th, 2010 at 9:37 amTitle Track, “All Things Must Pass.” There are so many great lines in that song, and the music is phenomenal. My favorite version, though, is the solo rendition on The Beatles’ “Anthology 3″
116 | Pete Pizza November 8th, 2010 at 9:44 amAwaiting on You All.
117 | Gary November 8th, 2010 at 9:46 amMy Sweet Lord. It stops me in my tracks and sends waves of emotion through me, no matter the surrounding environment or mood.
118 | Danielle Mortensen November 8th, 2010 at 9:48 amMy favourite George Harrison song is “Beware of Darkness,” which has a real Badfinger sound to it.
119 | Paul Williamsen November 8th, 2010 at 9:51 am“I’d Have You Anytime” the first track always sets the mood…
120 | Brandon November 8th, 2010 at 9:59 amBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) for sure. (and that cover by Yim Yames)
121 | Paul November 8th, 2010 at 10:02 amMy Sweet Lord. A favorite of favorites.
122 | Genevieve November 8th, 2010 at 10:03 amWah-Wah
123 | Andy November 8th, 2010 at 10:08 amAll Things Must Pass…..easy.
124 | Jason November 8th, 2010 at 10:16 amHands down my favorite song on the album is What is Life. All Things Must Pass is a close second. George Harrison really exploded with this chestnut album soon after the Beatles broke up. Would we have had many of these songs as Beatle versions if the breakup didn’t happen? I know that several ATMP songs were rehearsed with the Beatles but events led to this release of material that we are still talking about some 40 years later.
125 | Dave November 8th, 2010 at 10:22 amIf Not For You
126 | Eric N November 8th, 2010 at 10:23 am“What is Life,” followed by “Wah Wah.”
127 | Jason P. Woodbury November 8th, 2010 at 10:25 amHas to be “My Sweet Lord”

131 | Jim Quillan November 8th, 2010 at 10:41 amApple Scruffs!
132 | Stephen November 8th, 2010 at 10:52 amGotta go with the title track on this one. Just a gorgeous song. Might be the best song about death I’ve heard.
133 | Matt English November 8th, 2010 at 10:54 amDefinitely Wah Wah
134 | TK November 8th, 2010 at 11:14 amThe title track, All Things Must Pass. Brilliant song and mantra. Thanks George, sorry the lads kept you down for so long…
135 | Jeff G November 8th, 2010 at 11:27 amThat changes based on the day, but today I’d go with If Not For You

140 | Bill Altreuter November 8th, 2010 at 11:46 amI would have to pick the title track “All Things Must Pass”. It could have been a great closing song on Get Back.
141 | DK November 8th, 2010 at 11:52 amI’m partial to Apple Scruffs only because it sums up George Harrison to me – able to write a catchy yet meaningful song about something as simple as kids hanging around Apple Corp.
Joel Schneider
142 | Joel Schneider November 8th, 2010 at 11:54 amj.schneider34@yahoo.com
Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) – just so ethereal, it makes me cry and give me chills at the same time
143 | Tim November 8th, 2010 at 11:54 am“My Sweet Lord” it’s just such a beautiful song.
144 | Edward Kimball November 8th, 2010 at 12:01 pmLove some good Sir Frankie Crisp.
145 | Ryan M November 8th, 2010 at 12:30 pm“My Sweet Lord” …eternal classic
146 | Mint Shows November 8th, 2010 at 12:40 pm“What is life”
147 | Kevin November 8th, 2010 at 12:57 pmEither Wah-Wah or the title track. Both go through the flesh and tap on my bones.
148 | vinyldawg November 8th, 2010 at 1:19 pm“My Sweet Lord” !!
149 | Steve November 8th, 2010 at 1:33 pm“Apple Scruffs”! I want! I want!
150 | Rachel Rauch November 8th, 2010 at 1:39 pm“All Things Must Pass” has always had a very strong emotional tug on my spirit. Very motivational song…makes me feel like there’s a reason to move on in spite of tough times. I also think it would be great to hear this on a quality vinyl pressing. Thanks for the chance!
151 | Chuck Bobrowski November 8th, 2010 at 1:46 pmIf not for you. blew me away.
152 | Phil Lui November 8th, 2010 at 1:51 pmTough one but I’ll have to go with “Wah-Wah.” Love me some George Harrison
153 | John Swails November 8th, 2010 at 1:58 pmMy Sweet Lord was the first George Harrison song I ever heard, and it is still a favorite.
154 | Jake November 8th, 2010 at 2:13 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
Really loved Jim James’ GH tribute last year. What an EP…
155 | Dan Canders November 8th, 2010 at 2:15 pmAll things must pass.
156 | Ben November 8th, 2010 at 2:20 pm“I’d Have You Anytime” Such great sentiment.
157 | Joe G. November 8th, 2010 at 2:24 pmnot sure if it’s my favorite but it is the most poignant to me: “my sweet lord” reminds me of my friend nathaniel…. he took his life by stepping into the path of one of those “Gauranteed Ontime Delivery” semi’s that have GOD printed on the side (on the ides of march no less!!) He had a cassette copy of All things must pass in his walkman. He was a heavy dude and is sorely missed.
158 | Thom November 8th, 2010 at 2:50 pmAhhh, Harrison and Dylan’s “I’d Have You Anytime”.
159 | Jared November 8th, 2010 at 2:57 pmall things must pass.
160 | tate November 8th, 2010 at 4:02 pmApple Scruffs.
Nobody ever made three simple chords sound so good.
161 | Adam November 8th, 2010 at 4:19 pmId go Apple Scruffs…hard to choose though.
162 | Louis November 8th, 2010 at 4:23 pmwah wah
163 | Christophe November 8th, 2010 at 5:21 pmGotta be Isn’t It a Pity, the music is great but the lyrics make the song. Wah Wah is close beyond just for the guitar play.
164 | Ted November 8th, 2010 at 5:29 pmWhat is Life…duh.
165 | adrian ibarra November 8th, 2010 at 5:38 pmwah wah
166 | Gavin November 8th, 2010 at 5:52 pmif not for you and all things must pass.
also, I’ve been replying to these kinds of posts (and many others) for years. give a guy a break.
PPS, tell Futurebirds to get their ass to Tallahassee — and book it at a more reputable venue, so they don’t have to cancel another show here.
167 | drt November 8th, 2010 at 6:39 pm“What Is Life” Thank you! Ray

170 | lara November 8th, 2010 at 6:49 pmClose between “I Dig Love” and “Behind That Locked Door.” And I hate the song Wah Wah, so I would ask for it to be scratched out of any vinyl copy I may or may not win.
171 | Doug November 8th, 2010 at 7:06 pm“My Sweet Lord” I would have to say.
172 | Cliff November 8th, 2010 at 7:12 pmLet It Down
spiritualized 20 years in advance
173 | justin November 8th, 2010 at 7:17 pm“If Not For You” …Though a Dylan song, it’s one of the few covers I prefer over the original… How I wish they had collaborated more
174 | Nathan Searle November 8th, 2010 at 7:17 pmIt’s Johnny’s Birthday. I play it for myself once a year. Actually: RUN OF THE MILL
175 | Old John November 8th, 2010 at 7:32 pm“Isn’t It A Pity” breaks my heart every time.
176 | Trampus November 8th, 2010 at 7:34 pmIf Not For You.
177 | Scott November 8th, 2010 at 7:36 pm“What is Life” for sure, for sure. I spent days in my room listening to this album. Days…….what happened to my copy????? How is it I’ve managed to hold onto John Cale’s “Sabotage” for years and years and lost this one?
178 | Joe November 8th, 2010 at 7:36 pm“Art of Dying”…no brainer
179 | Joseph November 8th, 2010 at 7:39 pmWhen I was 14 and learning to play guitar in the early 70′s, my guitar teacher taught me to play My Sweet Lord. But I always been mesmorized by Apple Scruffs; simple, melodic, and some awesome guitar strumming.
180 | John Trollmann November 8th, 2010 at 7:41 pmIsn’t It A Pity, version Two
181 | Duncan Walls November 8th, 2010 at 8:02 pmThe chord change simply falls beneath your fingers on the piano and lets the guitar float sublimely on top.
If nothing else, the ultimate reality check of life as we may or may not know it on this planet.
Thank you George, for your passion and clear innocent perception.
“Awaiting on You All” is #1, followed closely by “Wah Wah.”
182 | Tyler Schafer November 8th, 2010 at 8:04 pm“What Is Life” is my favorite, followed (closely) by “Wah Wah.”
183 | Jason Hart November 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm“My Sweet Lord”
It still gives me goosebumps.
184 | N Strawbridge November 8th, 2010 at 8:09 pmRun of the Mill, what an album. The demo version is actually even better too. When I first heard All THings Must Pass I was moved and became actually giddy near the end of it. I had no idea George was capable of such a powerful effort. I’d say its my favorite beatles solo album at this point. Apple scruffs is a close second.
185 | Tony Minnick November 8th, 2010 at 8:11 pmIf Not For You.

190 | Riley Jessett November 8th, 2010 at 10:23 pmbest intro “I’d Have You Anytime”
191 | Andree V November 9th, 2010 at 12:27 amMy Sweet Lord is always a classic but Im gonna have to go with the very first track “I’d Have you Anytime” The guitar is too soothing.
192 | Ross M November 9th, 2010 at 12:38 am“My Sweet Lord”
193 | Doug Patterson November 9th, 2010 at 3:08 amThey’re all good when played loud enough. Behind That Locked Door and Wah Wah, especially. But if I had to pick just one it would be My Sweet Lord.
194 | DK November 9th, 2010 at 3:12 am‘If Not For You’
195 | Dave November 9th, 2010 at 4:59 ami’ve listened to “My Sweet Lord” countless times, and it still gives me chills. not just my favorite George song, but my favorite song in the Beatles family tree
196 | Nick November 9th, 2010 at 5:59 amBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
197 | Barney November 9th, 2010 at 6:32 amBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp. I honestly thought I would be in the minority. Couldn’t be more wrong.
198 | Sean McKesson November 9th, 2010 at 7:31 amBehind that Locked Door. Was the song my dad and I danced to at my wedding.
199 | Carla November 9th, 2010 at 7:32 amRun Of The Mill
200 | Josh Whitehead November 9th, 2010 at 7:49 amCan’t help myself – I have to say “My Sweet Lord”.

thanks for the chance!
207 | tim loveless November 9th, 2010 at 9:37 am“What Is Life” is a stanout, but there are many others too. This record has aged very well.
208 | Tom Muscarella November 9th, 2010 at 9:42 ammfbrof@gmail.com
“Beware of Darkness” cuz my pops told me it was about the closing of the mind, and the death of the soul, and I was seven.
209 | Patrick J Brophy esq. November 9th, 2010 at 10:08 amMy Sweet Lord
210 | April November 9th, 2010 at 10:37 amIsn’t is a pity?
211 | Jorge November 9th, 2010 at 10:37 amBehind that locked door
212 | Tim Murphy November 9th, 2010 at 11:25 amDefinitely “Run of the Mill” with a close second to “Let It Down”
213 | Eliot M. Gelwan November 9th, 2010 at 11:48 amI’d have to say Isn’t It A Pity is my favorite track on the album, but Beware of Darkness gets me every time I hear it.
214 | Jim November 9th, 2010 at 12:06 pmLet It Down, gotta agree with others who said the demo version from the cd rerelease is really the one….
215 | Jeff November 9th, 2010 at 12:21 pmAll Things Must Pass
216 | brian November 9th, 2010 at 12:37 pmWhat Is Life
217 | Pat November 9th, 2010 at 12:42 pm(Let It Roll). I listened to this album from when I was a baby.
218 | Bandy Lou November 9th, 2010 at 12:43 pmMy Sweet Lord
219 | Tom November 9th, 2010 at 12:49 pmIf you’re talking about the original album, “Behind That Locked Door” is my choice. But I really love 2 cuts off of the ’01 remaster: “I Live For You” (sweet steel part) and the solo “Let It Down”. Amazing stuff.
220 | Scott Dangler November 9th, 2010 at 1:18 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll). Amazing.
221 | Glenn November 9th, 2010 at 1:41 pmIsn’t it a Pity, for sure.
222 | Diana November 9th, 2010 at 2:08 pmIsn’t It a Pity
223 | Scooter November 9th, 2010 at 2:15 pmIf Not For You
224 | Mike November 9th, 2010 at 2:16 pmso many great songs on this album, i always really liked the jamming tracks, too, a really stellar group of musicians. fav track i’m gonna go with “i live for you”.
225 | Mike November 9th, 2010 at 2:31 pmApple Scruffs, how I love you.
226 | JoeyC November 9th, 2010 at 3:00 pm“What is Life” hands down.
227 | Michael November 9th, 2010 at 3:21 pmI’d have you anytime.
228 | Paul November 9th, 2010 at 4:00 pmThe title track is my favorite.
229 | Tim November 9th, 2010 at 5:29 pmGotta go with “What is Life”
230 | Kurt November 9th, 2010 at 5:44 pmI am partial to the title track, “All things Must Pass”. I think it is George’s Masterpiece.
231 | Bob Kane November 9th, 2010 at 6:07 pmFirst heard “Isn’t it Pity” through Galaxie 500, which lead me to discover this lovely album. It’s still my favorite.
232 | Andrew November 9th, 2010 at 6:10 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp(Let It Roll) always comes to mind. The drums are incredible sounding on that one. The version of All Things Must Pass on Anthology 3 is far superior to the Spector version. They were all doing such great stuff. Love the steel on Behind That Locked Door as well.
233 | Chris Weiland November 9th, 2010 at 6:32 pmI’d Have You Anytime. so beautiful….
234 | Geoff November 9th, 2010 at 7:00 pmAll Things Must Pass
235 | alex November 9th, 2010 at 7:04 pmI feel like I should say ‘Thanks For The Pepperoni’ just to set me apart and possibly get noticed for the contest, but in reality my favorite is ‘Behind The Locked Door’ (and if you haven’t heard the Jim James version, so yourself a favor and give it a listen…)
236 | Jeffrey November 9th, 2010 at 7:21 pmBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
237 | charles peters November 9th, 2010 at 8:30 pmTough one–it’s a fantastic record. I love the balance of joy and wistfulness captured in “Apple Scruffs”; its captures George’s personality the best.
238 | Zach Dorfman November 9th, 2010 at 9:01 pmThe acoustic version of “Let It Down” is simply incredible. I have so many beautiful memories of listening to that song.
239 | John Allison November 9th, 2010 at 9:10 pmRun of the mill
240 | Lucy Gonzalez November 9th, 2010 at 9:39 pmThe title track, man… what a mystical tune, All Things Must Pass. You know what I mean… nothing better than laying down to go to bed with George Harrison putting you to sleep; enchanting, and you’re guaranteed to have good dreams, no nightmares, no way.
241 | Lee Biermeyer November 9th, 2010 at 9:53 pmlive and die to Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp. keep up the good work on this blog. thanks.

244 | Marcus November 10th, 2010 at 6:12 amAll Things Must Pass is my favorite – there’s a reason it’s the title track!
245 | Jeff November 10th, 2010 at 8:44 amApple Scruffs

247 | thad November 10th, 2010 at 9:22 amWah-Wah
248 | Ben November 10th, 2010 at 9:32 amBeware of Darkness is my favorite. But what’s with the garden gnomes on the cover? George looks a little bit like one too on that LP.
249 | Craig Piechura November 10th, 2010 at 10:17 amMy Sweet Lord takes the cake for me.
250 | Patrick Sylves November 10th, 2010 at 10:54 amGotta be wah-wah, just a shot of pure musical adrenaline
251 | Shane November 10th, 2010 at 11:19 amIf Not for You…odd that it’s a cover but there it is. Also what is it about a triple LP that is so uniquely exciting?
252 | B.O'Brien November 10th, 2010 at 11:45 amThanks for the Pepperoni
253 | Paul Smith November 10th, 2010 at 11:53 amIsn’t it a Pity… somewhat ironic since I think it was the B-Side to the song that brought him a heap of legal trouble.
254 | tp November 10th, 2010 at 1:44 pmDefinitely Wah-Wah.
255 | Mark Muoio November 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pmIf Not for you.

289 | Josh Adams November 13th, 2010 at 5:26 pm“Awaiting on you all” by far my favourite track.
290 | travnws November 14th, 2010 at 12:54 amI think Wah Wah has to be my favorite, i love the whole album, but every time i hear that opening riff of wah wah i get excited and turn it up loud
291 | Francisco November 15th, 2010 at 7:38 pmMy Sweet Lord
292 | Don November 19th, 2010 at 9:10 pmWah-Wah. I heard that the phaser unit that they used on that song was manual at the time so Phil Spector was yelling “MORE PHASER, PHASE EVERYTHING!!!” and the poor guy who was doing it had to keep turning the knob back and forth. Also i think Billy Preston Plays keyboards on it. Eric Clapton on guitar. Great example of the wall of sound. I saw clapton play Isn’t It A Pity At Crossroads in 2008 when i was 15 and it really was powerful live. However I have to Pick Wah Wah as my favorite song on the album.
