No mention of "In spite of all the danger" by the quarrymen which was a Mccartney/Harrison collaboration
I liked the early Harrison songs like - "I need you" and "You like me to much" on Help. Even the anthology released "You Know What to Do" was good
- mgkimsal 4y ago"In spite" is a bit of a stretch on 'songwriting' credit, as he 'just' wrote the 'solo' bit. But, rethinking, if we're counting the intro guitar line... it's... a hook. It's not nothing. It's hard to think of the song without that little opening hook/riff. We could dig further and look at the only (AFAICR) Lennon/Harrison "Cry For A Shadow" as evidence of early songwriting, but given it's an instrumental, it's another stretch.
