The Beatles were such a prolific band that there are so many love songs that could be considered among the best. But one always stands out among the rest. Most people would associate the band's romantic ballads with Paul McCartney, but the greatest love song The Beatles ever wrote wasn't his. Surprisingly, it was written by George Harrison.

The youngest Beatle wasn't taken seriously as a songwriter for a long time. Even when he was contributing chart-topping hits to the band, he was still eclipsed by Lennon and McCartney. But when he brought this song to the band, he finally got everyone to listen. "Something" was a legendary song from The Beatles' last album, Abbey Road, and alongside it's beautiful yet simple video, it became the best love song ever.  "Something" Was an Ode to His Wife Pattie Boyd.
