#1 Your Love Is Forever vs. #32 Awaiting On You All YOUR LOVE IS FOREVER is one of George's very best.
#2 Run Of The Mill vs. #31 Cheer Down RUN OF THE MILL is one of my favorite Harrison lyrics
#3 That's The Way It Goes vs. #30 Dark Sweet Lady THA'TS THE WAY IT GOES is growing on me.
#4 Beware Of Darkness vs. #29 Brainwashed BEWARE OF DARKNESS has a great guitar and lyric.
#5 Someplace Else vs. #28 I'd Have You Anytime I'D HAVE YOU ANYTIME another gem from ATMP
#6 All Things Must Pass vs. #27 Living In The Material World ALL THINGS MUST PASS wins battle of album title songs
#7 Be Here Now vs #26 If Not For You IF NOT FOR YOU by George is my favorite version of this Dylan song.
#8 Stuck Inside A Cloud vs. #25 Beautiful Girl BEAUTIFUL GIRL is a beautiful song.
#9 Woman Don't You Cry For Me vs. #24 This Is Love THIS IS LOVE could have been 3rd hit from Cloud Nine album
#10 If You Believe vs. #23 Any Road ANY ROAD is George's last great song
#11 Love Comes To Everyone vs. #22 Miss O'Dell I thought LOVE COMES TO EVERYONE would be a hit single
#12 Rising Sun vs. #21 Apple Scruffs APPLE SCRUFFS shows fun side of George
#13 Don't Let Me Wait Too Long vs. #20 Cloud Nine DON'T LET ME WAIT TOO LONG should have been hit followup to Give Me Love
#14 Faster vs. #19 Devil's Radio Toughest match for me. I'll take FASTER for making auto racing sound spiritual
#15 Fish In The Sand vs. #18 Art Of Dying Another tough one. I'll go with the great wall of sound of ART OF DYING
#16 Wake Up My Love vs. #17 The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp THE BALLAD OF SIR FRANKIE CRISP is more substantial than gimmicky sound of Wake Up My Love.

#1 Your Love Is Forever vs. #32 Awaiting On You All I'm going with the newer YOUR LOVE IS FOREVER over the more esteemed All Things Must Pass song.
#2 Run Of The Mill vs. #31 Cheer Down The All Things track, RUN OF THE MILL, wins here.
#3 That's The Way It Goes vs. #30 Dark Sweet Lady THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES is a great track.
#4 Beware Of Darkness vs. #29 Brainwashed I like BRAINWASHED more than the great Beware of Darkness.
#5 Someplace Else vs. #28 I'd Have You Anytime SOMEPLACE ELSE is my favorite George song in this tourney.
#6 All Things Must Pass vs. #27 Living In The Material World The closest call for me here. ALL THINGS MUST PASS.
#7 Be Here Now vs #26 If Not For You IF NOT FOR YOU is another favorite.
#8 Stuck Inside A Cloud vs. #25 Beautiful Girl I don't care for either of these. STUCK INSIDE A CLOUD is a little better.
#9 Woman Don't You Cry For Me vs. #24 This Is Love WOMAN DON'T DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME. An easy pick. This Is Love was released as a single and went to 55 in the UK but didn't chart in the US Hot 100.
#10 If You Believe vs. #23 Any Road ANY ROAD. Another easy one. Great vs. boring.
#11 Love Comes To Everyone vs. #22 Miss O'Dell I wanted to take Miss O'Dell further but it can't take LOVE COMES TO EVERYONE.
#12 Rising Sun vs. #21 Apple Scruffs APPLE SCRUFFS. One of George's few bouncy, fun songs.
#13 Don't Let Me Wait Too Long vs. #20 Cloud Nine I think CLOUD NINE could had been a hit single.
#14 Faster vs. #19 Devil's Radio DEVIL'S RADIO edges out Faster.
#15 Fish In The Sand vs. #18 Art Of Dying ART OF DYING is better. Sad, after George's passing, but still good. One of the last songs George really wails on guitar.
#16 Wake Up My Love vs. #17 The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp Another tough call. I'll go with what I figure will be the underdog here. WAKE UP MY LOVE.

#32 Awaiting On You All #2 Run Of The Mill #3 That’s The Way It Goes #4 Beware Of Darkness #28 I’d Have You Anytime #27 Living In The Material World (Strangely, though I love the album, I’m not such a fan of ATMP the song.) #7 Be Here Now #8 Stuck Inside A Cloud (One of several great songs from Brainwashed that I take to be about mortality.) #24 This Is Love #23 Any Road #22 Miss O’Dell (Playful, fun song.) #12 Rising Sun (I think this is one of George’s greatest recorded achievements.) #20 Cloud Nine #14 Faster #18 Art Of Dying #17 The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp

#1 Your Love Is Forever: One of the greatest Solo George Harrison songs of all time and George thought so too.
#2 Run Of The Mill: Another ATMP classic although I was happy to have new George in the very late 1980's or was it 1990 with "Cheer Down?"
#30 Dark Sweet Lady: A beautiful love song to Olivia. I never really cared for the other song until The Concert For George.
#4 Beware Of Darkness: Ouch! No fair, I love both! BOD is sublime George but man I love Brainwashed.
#5 Someplace Else: Okay, this is getting real hard. We do need some later George advancing.
#6 All Things Must Pass: Again, I am torn. ATMP is one of my all time fave Hari tunes but I like the other a lot!
#7 Be Here Now: Ah, back to easy. I love Bob Dylan but this cover by George is not my favorite.
#8 Stuck Inside A Cloud: Very hard but Stuck Inside A Cloud is essential George, painfully poignant.
#24 This Is Love: This is a Pop masterpiece by George with help from Jeff. George sounded Hip!
#23 Any Road: Great open to George's last album
#22 Miss O'Dell: the first one might be too slick.
#12 Rising Sun. Ouch! I love both dearly but "Rising Sun" really moves me!
#13 Don't Let Me Wait Too Long: This should have been a #1!
#19 Devil's Radio: Toss of a coin.
#15 Fish In The Sand: I absolutely love this song. I played it over and over in 1987. This was exactly how I thought that George should sound!
#17 The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp: I like both but the latter is just a cool song. The former was good 1982 Pop.

The depth of George's solo work shows in the fact that not one of these matches was unanimous and 7 of them were decided by just one vote. I will post round two tomorrow.
