There isn't one song on RAM that I don't love. I got the deluxe set on Tuesday, and it's pretty amazing. I stopped listening to the album for a while so when I got it it would be all that much greater, and it was.

Tug of War is my next favorite Paul album, and it actually might even be better than RAM, although I am not quite sure on that one. There is not one song I do not absolutely love on this one, either. The songs are all just so happy ...]]> Fri, 25 May 2012 22:26:30 +0100 Into the Sky with Diamonds on top 3 macca post beatles albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52806 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52806 For me, it would have to be "Top 10"    I'll rank in layers

-Chaos and Creation at the top. I echo Paulsbass's assessment (lot of "s"s here).

-Flaming Pie, Band on the Run,  Flowers, Wings at the S of S 

-Ram, McCartney I,Tug of War, Venus and Mars, London Town are a little more uneven

-Off the Ground, McCartney II, Back to the Egg, Press to Play, Memory Almost full, Electric Arguments        even more uneven (with really good stuff on all of them)

-Pipes of Peace, Red Rose S, a couple of solid songs

-Wildlife   Can't think of a good song.

(If it's my favorite, then it's my pick for best. I see no difference between the two.). Great songs, all of 'em. Smile Away is the best of the bunch and Monkberry. Two very odd McCartney songs. But, odd was what he did best. Saw him live in 2010 and he did Ram On by request. Made my night! And the Thrillington album just adds to it's allure. The delux box set is the tits!

a-hard-days-night-john-3http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52794 My 3 favourite mccartney solo albums are: band on the run, ram and venus and mars. Tug Of War would be number 4, McCartney and Wings at the Speed of Sound number 5

Wild Life - unpolished edges and underwritten in places but the songs themselves are fabulous (omitting bip bop, mumbo is just noise but still good to listen to). Dear Friend is a gem with Paul reaching out to John. Other highlights well the others - I Am Your Singer is a gorgeous duet with Linda that doesnt outstay its welcome by 1 second.

Wings At The Speed Of Sound - the whole is far greater than the parts.

Macca 2. The different types of music make this a true highlight in Pauls catalogue, underrated by the critics but the fans know ...]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 15:43:16 +0100 Ben Ramon on top 3 macca post beatles albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52792 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52792

Wow, that's really 2 unusual choices...I love Big barn bed but never though much of RRS, neither of MCII, though I love Waterfalls, Coming up, Check my machine and Secret friend.

 I certainly wouldn't call Speedway and McCartney II the best in any way, they're personal favorites. If I were to do a top three which I'd consider to be best, I'd go with Ram, Band on the Run and Tug of War (possibly Chaos and Creation replacing Tug of War).

Back to the egg/Venus and Mars: Both huge favourites. Both with not so many hits, but you gotta ...]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 14:21:35 +0100 paulsbass on top 3 macca post beatles albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52791 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52791 Wow, that's really 2 unusual choices...I love Big barn bed but never though much of RRS, neither of MCII, though I love Waterfalls, Coming up, Check my machine and Secret friend.

 

Let's see if I need to split it up in best and favourite top 3

 

Best:

Band on the run must be in the best top 3, but it's far from being my favourite.

Chaos and creation in the backyard

Tug of war

 

I think. But Flowers in the dirt or Flaming pie or Memory almost full or Ram are way up there as well.

 

Favourite:

Chaos and creation in the backyard: Intimate, touching songs, great arrangements, ...]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 13:56:42 +0100 Ben Ramon on top 3 macca post beatles albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52783 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52783 In no particular order:

McCartney II. Yes, I know. I've seen this record dragged through the dirt countless times, but I love it. Paul at his most utterly eccentric and whacked-out, alone in the studio and doing whatever he wants for the second time. Also very ahead of its time in terms of blending influences- disco, electronic music and synth-pop, with acoustic ballads, hints of reggae, glammy plastic funk in the style of Sparks or Talking Heads? Arguably nobody but Macca could have pulled this off. "Darkroom" I could take or leave but the rest of it is glorious, particularly the ...]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 11:30:17 +0100 lettherebbeatles4ever on top 3 macca post beatles albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52774 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/top-3-macca-post-beatles-albums/#p52774 in your opinion what are your top 3 macca solo albums mine would be

3: tug of war: following on from the disappointing mccartney 2 tug of war shows paul back at his best. being the first album made after the death of john lennon it contains the highly emotional here today. also includes greats songs such as the duet with stevie wonder ebony and ivory and take it away.

2. ram: to me this could be white album number 2 great songs on here uncle albert, ram on etc.

1. band on the run: what a album not a bad song on ...]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 23:35:40 +0100
