The Mellotron Group

My favorite was George's little know tribute to everyone's favorite Stooge. 
 "My Sweet Fine."

It depends on your mindset and  your interpretation and feeling on the 
intent of the writer.  I may not  like gary Numan, but his songs feel original 
to me.  Even though poor  George got ripped for "My Sweet Lord", it feels 
original to me and I'd rather  listen to that than "He's So Fine".

Maybe there is no such thing as original material. Some songwriters  come 
very close to creating original songs. Lennon and McCartney come to  mind. 
Who else over the past 50 years? Brian Wilson? Simon and Garfunkel?  Michael 
Jackson? Eminem? Madonna? ...several others but it's not a long  list.




Well Brian Wilson predicated nearly all  his harmonies on the Four Freshmen 
and latterly filtered that through Hal  David and (to a lesser extent) Burt 
B. 

If you need an honest to god  original you're probably going to have to go 
back to Robert Johnson. There are  way less than you think. It's like when 
comedians say there are only really  seven jokes in the world and all others 
are synthesised from  them.
