Harrison wrote 22 of the Beatles 209 songs. You are right about 10%. Lennon wrote 85, McCartney 74, Ringo 3 and the other 25 were cover songs. Certainly when you are in a band with Lennon and McCartney it is going to be difficult to match their song output. I think he was starting to find his place towards the end. "Here Comes The Sun" and "Something" are equal to almost any Beatles composition in my opinion.
Very nice review of a great album Davey, hope to see more like it
