a: Such originality, clever, well crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
b: Such original, clever, well crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
c: Such originality...clever, well, crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
Why doesn't a) work like b) in terms of original/originality, and is it fixed if I place the ellipsis after originality.
Such original, clever, well-crafted songs is a comment about the quality of the songs.
Such originality is a comment about the writer.
I would recommend you to add an exclamation mark and then start a new sentence. If you don't want to do that, you need something more than a comma after songs - a dash or a semicolon.
All three versions of Such ... songs can't start their sentences this way. #b could work with some additional words but #a can't:
b1. As demonstrated in such original, clever, well-crafted songs ...
#c has an additional problem on top of what we see in #a, because of the comma after well. The preferred way to describe the songs is well-crafted songs; well crafted songs works too, but well, crafted songs won't work.
My version would be: George Harrison, the best Beatle, composed clever, well-crafted songs with such originality.
b) has parallel adjectives that work. a) has mixed a noun and adjectives in the same phrase which is awkward and non-parallel.
a: Such originality, clever, well-crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle. This one doesn't work.
b: Such original, clever, well-crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
However, I might add with there:
With such original, clever, well-crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
Now, for c, the one below is a possibility:
c: Such originality! Clever, well-crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle.
OR
Clever, well-crafted songs, George Harrison was the best Beatle—with such originality!
The em dash should be longer than the hyphen but my computer won't do that.
