All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

When you think of the best album you've ever heard a few albums come to mind, and when that happens it becomes very hard to pick just one. You have mind bending experiences and pure emotions going against each other and putting one over another becomes a huge decision. I do not have one singular favorite album because each grand album permits its own greatness. When you're dealing with something so creative and so inspirational it becomes hard to let go of your past feelings in exchange for a ranking among the best. Alas, after all of this, if someone asked me what the best album is today, I'd say All Things Must Pass. This is the first album where George Harrison showed how much of a serious musician he could be. With meaningful songs like Isn't It a Pity, to electric masterpieces of music like Wah-Wah, and both in one like Art of Dying. This is a long album built out of old songs from the latter years of the Beatles yet despite the length, there is not a bad song on this album, and there are more masterpieces than decent songs. This is one of the albums that I will always come back to at one point and at least as of now I have never heard anything better, albeit close, but none as iconic, inspirational, and as beautiful as All Things Must Pass. I'd give this a 6 if I could but 5/5 The Art of Dying is top 3 songs ever btw.
