Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

Often referred to as "The Quiet Beatle", George Harrison was a pivotal figure in shaping the band's sound. Although initially overshadowed by the prolific songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Harrison proved to be a talented composer in his own right. His contributions became more prominent in the later years of The Beatles, as his songwriting evolved from simple love songs to explorations of themes such as spirituality and Eastern philosophy.

Here's some information about the Harrison songs in this quiz.

"Something", released in 1969 on "Abbey Road". The song is noted for its beautiful melody and lyrical content, and it has been widely covered by various artists.

"Piggies", released in 1968 on "The Beatles" (The White Album). The song is a satirical commentary on materialism and class structure, and features a baroque-style arrangement with harpsichord.

"If I Needed Someone", released in 1965 on "Rubber Soul". The song features a jangly guitar sound that influenced later folk rock music and reflects Harrison's growing interest in Indian music.

"Here Comes The Sun", released on "Abbey Road" in 1969. Written during a period of personal recovery, the song is celebrated for its uplifting melody and optimistic lyrics.

"Don't Bother Me", released in 1963 on "With The Beatles". Harrison's first solo credit, this song reflects his early attempts at songwriting with a straightforward, blues-influenced rock sound.

"Taxman", released on "Revolver" in 1966. The song is a critique of the high tax rates imposed on high earners in the UK and features a prominent, gritty guitar riff.

"Within You Without You", released in 1967 on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The track features Indian instruments and scales, reflecting Harrison's deepening interest in Eastern philosophy and music.

"For You Blue", released in 1970 on "Let It Be". The song was written as a love letter to Harrison's then wife Pattie Boyd and features a simple, bluesy arrangement.

"I Need You", released in 1965 on "Help!" This track shows a more mature songwriting approach from Harrison and incorporates a slide guitar effect.

"Love You To", released in 1966 on "Revolver". Featuring Indian instrumentation, this song represents Harrison's experimentation with blending Western pop and Indian classical music.

"Only A Northern Song", released in 1969 on "Yellow Submarine". The song is a self-referential critique of the music industry and copyright, and features a quirky, experimental arrangement.
