Wowso much wrong with this postjust factually inaccuate. So it took until 1988's "Handle With Care" for George to "find his voice", when the entirety of 1970's "All Things Must Pass" is regarded as George's pinnacle.
And George was into Hinduism, not Buddhismthere is a difference. -

In my view, All Things Pass was mostly tuneless, atmosphere-less. Its highpoint, My Sweet Lord, is great but, a judge ruled, 'unconsciously plagiarised' from The Chiffons 'He's so fine'.
George hit a peak with If I Needed Someone, Taxman, Love you to and Blue Jay Way. That was when it sounded like George's own voice. George had his own voice in 'When we was fab' as well.
Something and Here Comes the Sun were technically great but like George being McCartney just to show he could. -

Tuneless atmosphere? Personally, "Behind that Locked Door" and "What is Life" are far superior to "My Sweet Lord". "Behind That Locked Door" may be the best song he has ever written. The album itself is too bloated, and would have been better as a two record set, as opposed to a three record set, and the Spectorized production is awful. The problem with "When We Was Fab" is that there is too much Jeff Lynne/ELO sound to it. For true George, stuff like "Blow Away", or "Crackerbox Palace" are far superior.

Sgt. Pepper would have been the greatest album ever if John and Paul were able to convince George Martin to replace When I'm Sixty Four and Lovely Rita with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever. It would've been a perfect album.
