After the genius of McCartney II and Tug Of War, Macca really went downhill with this album.

Genius and McCartney 2 should never be mumbled together in any kind of breath.

The only redeeming factor is that Michael Jackson is on it. As a huge MJ fan, I like the collaborations. Say Say Say and The Man are great songs.

The Man is awful.

The Girl Is Mine is a classic song, and absolutely brilliant.

I can't see how McCartney I sounds "down on the farm." Other than the fact that Paul was living on a farm at the time, it sounds like classic Macca.

I'd compare the sounds he was making around MC1 and Ram to the last Beatles album, Let It Be. They both have a similar feel and recording technique.

I think we should agree to disagree.

I view MCII in the same way I view Radiohead's Kid A. It's an experimental album from a pop/rock group, that sounds radically different, but is incredibly experimental.

Now, not every Radiohead fan will like Kid A. Some will prefer The Bends, or OK Computer. Not every Macca fan will like MCII.

I prefer Kid A, and McCartney II.

Compared to some of what Paul has written by himself, The Man is a masterpiece. And I say that as a huge Paul solo fan.

Its all opinions anyway and i'm just razzing you, but this statement offered a challenge and I guess I failed, because I cant think of even one song he's written thats as bad as this one.

Freedom? Smile Away? Ballroom Dancing? We All Stand Together?

And I guess saying The Man is a great song was pretty stupid. It's an okay song, not great.

It's not even the worst MJ song that Michael himself has written. But it's also not the best. Michael has written a lot of amazing songs, even up to just before he died, that were classic.

'Ballroom Dancing' is an awesome song, 'Smile Away' and 'We All Stand Together' are decent songs, while 'Freedom' absolutly sucks and its still miles and mile better than 'The Man'.

Yeah, we'll just have to agree to disagree, because I could never consider it even OK.

It doesnt really have anything to do with Jacko. I dig some of his stuff, but I just dont like that song. I love Stevie Wonder and hate 'Ebony And Ivory' too.

A bad song is a bad song

Ebony And Ivory and even more The Girl Is Mine made me feel ashamed to be a Beatlesfan for the first time in my life.

The Beatles kicked my butt and I still have one more to go. I cant imagine doing Pauls catalog.

...then I can step in and correct you!  ha2ha

It would be a daunting task and one that I wouldn't want to initiate, though I'd love to join in.

Bobber, you've hinted you might be willing so I'm urging you to....

I haven't listened to the most of them in a long time. His nineties stuff is even unknown for a great part. But I will start with McCartney tomorrow and give my review by the end of the week. Be prepared. ;D

I will do John, George and Ringo after I finished Paul. No lie. I'm too unfamiliar with their solo stuff anyway, so it's a good opportunity.
