Title: Paul's favourite music/artists
Post by: Ovi on June 05, 2011, 04:19:32 PM

I was just wondering what music does Paul McCartney listen to nowadays.If any of you know or saw any interviews with him saying what are his favourite songs/artists/albums etc. Anything would be helpful.

I read on wikipedia that Pet Sounds is one of his favourite albums and he bought to each of his kids a copy of the record. I also read that he is a big fan of Nirvana and his favourite song from them is "Come As You Are".

Thanks very much for the information. I personally never heard of the Barenaked Ladies, but maybe I'll give them a listen.

Kind of an interesting name, huh? They aren't a group that I've listened to much but they did do a Christmas song with Sarah McLachlan that's pretty cool.

They're a good band. You might know them from the theme song of The Big Bang Theory, that's theirs. They also have a cool song about Brian Wilson, called 'Brian Wilson', which has been covered by Brian Wilson himself.

Barenaked Ladies also have a song called "Be My Yoko Ono".

It's funny that the Barenaked Ladies are one of Canada's biggest bands but barely anyone knows about them anywhere else.

whenever I browse in CD stores here in Oz, I look at the beginning of B  to see if they have any Barclay James Harvest CD's (they never have) but I always find Barenaked Bloody Ladies albums  ??? so they must be liked here.
