"Love has Taken It's Toll" by Foreigner

The guitar work through the entire song
sounds like something off Revolver

"Maybe Tonight" by The Knack

Their lead guitarist really nailed it.

There is a guy by the name of Harri Georgeson who sounds an awful lot
like him, on the album "on the Road to Freedom" Alvin Lee. ;-)

I don't think "Badge" has a guitar solo that
sounds like George. Although it's one of
my favorite solos, it sounds like Clapton
to these old ears.

Listen to Badge and Here Comes The Sun. Not a musician, but there is
an electric guitar part in Badge that is the same as an acoustic
guitar part in Here Comes The Sun. Hear it once, you won't hear the
songs in the same manner again.

A lot of stuff by Badger - No Matter What jumps out at me.

That could be because the song was co-written by...George Harrison.

It's the same guitar style George is playing on "You never give me
your money".

George plays the chunky rhythm guitar part on "Badge." The part being
discussed, though, is Clapton.

That would make sense, since it IS George.

Also sounds quite a bit like the "It Don't Come Easy" intro...

I always thought it was, but someone told me no...it was Ham doing a
George take-off. I trust that our experts will let us know...

I've always though the guitar solo in Linda Ronstadt's "You're No
Good" was very George-like.

The solo starts at 1:55.

Clapton might be playing the part, but I've little doubt that Harrison
came up with it.

Yes, but he doesn't play the prominent part that is being discussed.
