These Rock Legends Formed the Top-Ranked 'Love Triangle' in Music History

Love triangles go along with Rock 'N' Roll. There have been many tangled romances throughout music history, and they often fuel emotions that create classic songs. But one famous love triangle was named the "messiest musician love triangle that rocked the music world."

According to Ranker, the #1 spot belongs to the love triangle among music legends Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Pattie Boyd. "George Harrison, like the other members of the Beatles, was no stranger to romantic drama, much of which centered on his wife, Pattie Boyd, and his good friend and collaborator, Eric Clapton," Ranker wrote. The good news is that the twisted love story produced at least three iconic songs.

But what exactly went down?  Pattie Boyd Met George Harrison on a Film Shoot & He Proposed to Her Immediately.

People described Boyd as "the iconic fashion model whose style and beauty helped define an era." According to the magazine, she was married to both Harrison and Clapton; Harrison wrote "Something" with her in mind, and Clapton wrote both Layla and Wonderful Tonight about Boyd.

She told her side in a book of photos. According to People, she met Beatle Harrison on a film set, and he proposed to her just moments after their first meeting. She had a boyfriend, but they soon broke up, and she started dating Harrison, a relationship that would last a decade. They married in 1966.

Clapton wrote Layla about Boyd when she was still married to Harrison, according to Christie's.

"So I went up to the flat and he put on a cassette, and it was Layla," Boyd told Christie's, which auctioned off some of her letters and photos. "It was inspired by a 12th-century Persian tale called The Story of Layla and Majnun about a young poet whose unrequited love turns him mad, and it was so passionate and full of love and raw emotion. I was taken aback by its beauty — but at the same time I felt guilt."
