Harrison was leagues above every other beatle in almost every aspect of songwriting. I haven't listened to any of Morissey's solo work, but, besides a few single {Heaven Knows and this charming man}, the smiths just wasn't any good.
My thoughts exactly on Morrissey but not Harrison, even though What is Lfe is one of my favorite singles of all time. and the rest of his singles like living in the material world, My Sweet Lord, Dark Horse we're also great.
I think Father John Misty's I Love You, Honeybear is just as good as Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes but for very different reasons.
And I think Person Pitch is better than pretty much every Anco. record except MPP. Especially if you consider where the band is at now, and the quality of Panda Bear's last two records.
I don't know if you can count this one. Josh Tillman wasn't in Fleet Foxes at the time of their debut and had been a solo artist long before he joined them on drums/harmonies for Helplessness Blues. Although, I agree that ILYHB is equal to (if not better than in my opinion) the Fleet Foxes debut. Crack-Up and Pure Comedy are two of the best folk rock/baroque pop album to grace 2017 thus far too!
I was about to say Neil Young until I thought about it a little harder. actually his best stuff was written when he was with CSNY and Buffalo Springfield. Tho i could go either way.
Steve Sanders of the Oak Ridge Boys..........wait a minute.....that's right.....the late beautiful precious was driven into shooting himself before we could hear him be where his cutie behind should've been from the very beginning. ๐ข๐ข๐ข

Yeah - I guess it depends on how you interpret the question.
Harrison by definition was better because he as an artist himself was overshadowed in the Beatles and then shined alone. So if the question is understood as Harrison's work is better than any Beatles album, yes, that is a bit absurd. But if it is the question whether the artist shined better as a solo artist than when the artist was in the band, that means something different.
Michael Jackson is money.
Never been a massive fan of his solo stuff but it's been a while since I gave it a chance. Looking at things based on the latter then even then I'd disagree because he maybe recorded his best songs when he was in the Beatles, though obviously not that many. For me he certainly never did anything to suggest he massively improved his songwriting on while my guitar gently weeps, something, here comes the sun. I maybe need to check his stuff again.
