Sort of.
I mean, can you compile enough songs from Harrison's solo
records to equal an album that would be on par with say
"Rubber Soul" or Sgt, Peppers"? Not talking concept
power here (i.e. Sgt, Pepper), just the relative material
to rival what they did as the Beatles.
And you can't say, "sure, The Best of McCartney, done".
As I wouldn't go that far, those best of comps put out by
the label are usually NOT a true "best of". It seems a
dorky song or two is always placed there for some reason,
(demands of the artist perhaps) dunno.
Paul would easily be the winner of that one, followed by
Lennon (tied with Harrison?)
I agree that Lennon pushed or inspired Paul to write
better material. He very much seemed the quality control
guy based on what I've read. But, if you look at his solo
catalog ,,,,hmmm, who was the quality control guy there?
Yoko? Phil Spector?
No disrespect intended, my point is -they collectively
inspired eachother, thus the quality ensued. Chemistry
that we will see a few times every 75 years or so.
