I would hope this'll be a rout for "It Don't Come Easy" and/or "Photograph"--please not the "No No Song"! That'd be like, I don't know, going for "You Mother Should Know" over "Ticket to Ride" or "Eight Days a Week." I'll go with "Photograph," but it's close.

Immediately went for Back off Boogaloo, but maybe should have paused a second and gone for Photograph.

My impression is that "Photograph" is also a George song.

I'm pretty sure it's at least 90% written by George, if not 100%.

Same with "It Don't Come Easy."

I don't know enough about music to say this precisely, but I think "It Don't Come Easy" is more of a George song than "Photograph". The former would fit well, chord-wise, on All Things Must Pass, while the latter would stand out there (not as better than the others, but as different). The melody of the title phrase in the chorus doesn't sound like what I'd expect from George.

I dislike The No No Song.

Well done. But did you mean to write the name of the university instead of the country?

I like "Wrack My Brain" a lot!

You guys haven't gone deep until you've ventured into Old Wave territory:
