"Electric Arguments" by a large margin , only C&C gets anywhere  close to matching this stunning album in my opinion (thumbsup)
I have a soft spot for MAF and Off The Ground .

Another for Electric Arguments, one of the few Beatles solo albums to really add something to their collective repertoire (Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, and All Things Must Pass are three others). Tug Of War, despite "Ebony and Ivory" is another good one, and I love Run Devil Run as well.  :)

We have to keep spreading the word about this album Geoff (thumbsup)
Tug Of War is a strong album Geoff , the title track is among my favourite McCartney songs .
It's funny how his output slowed after his mad 70's period , 10 albums in a decade and only 10 over the next 30 years , not really noticed that before ?

I've always thought of Give My Regards To Broad Street as the big dividing line: through 1984 he had a lot of records out and they were usually big hits; after that his production slowed and he stopped getting top five hits. But there's a lot more variety in his post- Broad Street recordings: Liverpool Sound Collage, Standing Stone, Electric arguments, and Choba B CCCP, for example.

Electric Arguments seems to be drawing a lot of attention, although not necessarily with the pop crowd. People who ordinarily wouldn't bother with a 'rock' oriented artist like Paul have occasionally asked me about it. More the NPR than Virgin Radio sort.   :)

Besides RAM, 'Flaming Pie' is Pauls best album

MAF for me, as to be, its my fav in a long time since Flaming Pie! Flaming Pie would come second to that.
Tug of War could be great if it lost Ebony & Ivory.  :-/
