[Review] George Harrison: All Things Must Pass (1970)

George had developed as a songwriter, but even Abbey Road didn’t prepare you for the creative outpouring of this triple-elpee set.

A test run for Flash without the concise songwriting and featuring Jan Akkerman as an extra draw for guitar fans.

Apparently, Eno was just getting warmed up on Jets. Once heard, this album will change your world.

Eno’s warped pop sensibilities and ambient interests merge on his magnum opus.

Not quite another Another Green World, but a final airing out of vocal ideas featuring Eno’s skewed pop/rock sensibilities.

Ambient bits and pieces create a kind of Whitman’s Sampler of wispy works.

A remarkable musical travelogue that reflects his recent work with David Bowie, Darryl Hall, Peter Gabriel, The Roches and Brian Eno.

His breakthrough third album mixes world music with world politics to sometimes shocking effect.

Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, dum, dum. Smartest thing he’s ever done.

This is coin of the realm for Phil Collins’ albums, leaving no misunderstanding that a star had been born.

Phil didn’t need to move heaven and earth to have a hit, just earth, wind and fire.

The second album repeats the success of the first down to the smallest details, which is a bit, um, boring.

Another single from Phil’s second album, in case you were planning on buying it on the installment plan.

The album where Phil Collins became a commercial force and probably began earning more money than some small countries.

Slowhand makes a modern synthesizer album with Phil Collins and it actually sounds pretty good.
