I think McCartney 2 released in 80 defined the decade of the 80's all in one album because of Paul's heavy use of synthesizers on most of the tracks like Coming Up(album version), Temporary Secretary & Waterfalls along with the instrumentals like Frozen Jap which is why I think McCartney 2 is the defining 80's album from a former Beatle & 60's rock legend which defined the decade of the 80's before it halfway began.

finally some good comments

[The End]

To be honest, it's quite a good album, but I don't think it defined the Eighties.

McCartney II is a poor piece of work from Macca, in my opinion. It can hardly have "defined" the 80s, as the 80s weren't that bad!

Like Macca I, if it had been released by anyone other than Paul McCartney, it would have been laughed into oblivion.

duhoh
sorry wrong room.dang that temporary secretaries
maria kinda has a point altho not a strong macca album it was necessary for him to transform in to the production genuis that  he is.....it did suck kinda like wild life and back to the egg

[Wayne L.]

I don't think I said McCartney 2 was creatively, musically & artistically a masterpiece by Paul even though it this " one album " defined the 80's. 

[Beatle Ed]

I think Madonna, Flock of Seagulls and Billy Idol defined the 80's. 

lol Sadly.

McCartney 2 defined what was bad about the 80's. I'm a Macca fanboy, but that album is terrible. I can hardly listen to it at all.

Another crack at "Back to the Egg". You all hate me!

[pc31]

wayne do you think up these outrageous questions just to appear outlandish or what?
the eighties belonged to skynard and nugent,aeosmith,van halen and kiss.i don't think paul had much 80's market at all.

I agree.

[Wayne L.]

You know as well as I do that the 80's did not belong to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Kiss & Van Halen even though it did belong to a Flock Of Seagulls, Madonna, Prince U2 & Bon Jovi. I don't think I have asked any ridiculous questions unless maybe somebody is too damn stupid to answer them, which is NOT my problem pc31.  I think McCartney 2 defined the best & worst of the decade of the 80's all in one album proving Paul was ahead of the game as an artist atthe time.

I'll listen when you want to argue that McCartney II defined the worst of the 80's. But no way has it got anything to do with the best.

[Wayne L.]

Since I don't know any of you personally, it's great to talk to fellow Beatles fans, I'm not going to be trapped by morons as in my previous post, I think McCartney 2 defined the best & worst of the 80's, if you think Skynyrd is an 80's band you are mentally insane & musically uneducated. 

I hate Pauls 80's songs.

McCARTNEY II was a departure for Paul, and I give him some credit for trying to do something different. At the time, I thought "what the hell is THIS??" -- but the more i listened to it in 1980, the more it grew on me and became a soundtrack for what I was doing at the time (I was graduating HS). I like it.

Heh, I honestly don't like them either.........the dance version of "No More Lonely Nights" was great along with the live version of "Coming Up"........everything else was really lame.

"Everything"? You mean you don't like TUG OF WAR? How about Wanderlust?

Tug of War wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either..........that and Flowers in the Dirt were quite listenable, but none of the material really was memorable....not bad releases, but not good ones either.

TUG OF WAR went down as one of Paul's greatest albums. At the time it was hailed as the best album since BAND ON THE RUN.  And EBONY AND IVORY was a #1 hit.

[tkitna]

"The Pound Is Sinking" rocks. Tug Of War (the album) was good! Everything on that album was decent (well "Dress Me Up As A Robber" was shaky). I highly recommend.
