Thanks. I've seen it before, but it is nice to watch again.

George, You are missed.

because they were obviously based on other songs, but it was George who got sued for plagiarism.

Kid Rock stole the “werewolves” riff from Zevon, but Zevon stole it from Sweet Home Alabama, but Dexey’s Midnight Riders also stole it from Zevon. Though Kid Rock was the only one who cited Zevon as “co-writer” for his song.
With all that stealing, I can’t see how the hell George got screwed for that.
I heard McCartney say that he wouldn’t record Yesterday for quite a while because it was so perfect and familiar, that he was sure he took it subconsciously from someone else. The lads had to convince him that it wasn’t so.

The most beautiful songs of the Beatles.

I’d put the following up against the same # of Lennon - McCartney any day (and I love those guys) :

-Guitar Gently Weeps
-Give Me Love / Give Me Peace
-Something
-Here Comes The Sun
-My Sweet Lord
-What Is Life

For the other guys I’d go with -

-Yesterday
-Imagine
-Golden Slumbers
-Here There and Everywhere
-Beautiful Boy
-Maybe I’m Amazed

I think I go with George.
