What's your fav album?? It could be either from Wings or from Paul's solo career.
My favorite is Band on the run!! It's one of the best albums ever, all the songs are good!!

I also love Flaming Pie and Venus & Mars. What about you guys?

I think I'd have to say Ram is my favourite, closely followed by Band On The Run.

I like Flaming Pie because of all the acoustic ballads.  Macca is the king of that type of music and should do more of that.

Wings Over America....one of the greatest live classic rock albums of all time showcasing Paul at his finest with his band Wings.

Good!  Me too!  When it came out in 1997, I played it over and over.  Just beautiful. 

"Flowers in the Dirt" would be my next favorite.

I haven't got all albums of him but Flowers in the Dirt and Driving Rain are the best of the ones I have. Band On The Run isn't that bad, too.

(after I read this comments I reget that I haven't bought Flaming Pie when I had the chace to do so. I think I will make up for doing that. )

Not a big fan of any Paul album all the way through. I love bits and spurts from all of them, to be honest. That's how I organize my McCartney.

That being said, Ram would be number 1, Flaming Pie number 2, and then I like McCartney, Flowers in the Dirt, Tug of War pretty evenly. BOTR is OK but hasn't worn well on me for some reason.

The others I'd rather forget, aside from a few tracks.

I think in every Beatles solo career there are gems. That's my take.

Well, I have an embarassingly small collection of Paul's albums, but still I say Tug of War (though I can't stand Ebony and ivory)

Venus and Mars would rank very high with me if the production was consistent. One song sounds good and then the next sounds like mud and etc,,,. I do enjoy the material though.

I think the production on Venus and Mars is great..........it all has a very slick rock feel to it.....fantastic album.

Wow! I definately disagree with you on this one Rowdy. An example would be 'Rockshow'! This song could have been a contender, but when you listen to it, it sounds like its being played under water. It sounds horrible. Especially after listening to the clean cut 'Venus and Mars'. I wish they could clean it up some. Oh well.

You have a point about "Rockshow" but the songwriting on that album is so great that the production takes a backseat I guess...but I don't know, "Rockshow" still sounds great on the whole....much better than his 80's albums that suffered from the same production of most of the decade's releases.....very cheesy, outdated.

"Rockshow" sounds like a rock song. Rock and roll should sound somewhat rough, I think.

The song sounds like mess and I dont think that it should. Another song Paul rushed out of the studio.

i agree with rowdy, only in reverse:
ram
venus and mars
band on the run
(and i have to throw the sentimental vote to McCartney album, i remember buying it and thinking how neat it was that paul could do it all by himself out in the middle of nowhere)

I have most of the MP3s from it.........a novelty release really, but it's an interesting way to listen to Ram once you've heard the original a bit too much.

At the mo I would say Chaos and Creation although I have just embarked on a voyage of solo Macca discovery. Just checkin out RAM.

Why do these Beatles have to get their wives appearing on their albums? lol

I thought sometimes that they were missing each other, I mean John and Paul. So, they got their wives in on the acts as substitutes. I'm probably wrong.

At least Linda McCartney could sing, more or less.

Macca get's Linda sounding good in places. Your probably right about the subs but it is a shame. They put me off so much. I can't help it.

Hmm... I have Venus and Mars and think it's alright.  Nothing special though.

My favorites are Ram, Tug of War, Band on the Run, Red Rose Speedway (I LOVE the first three songs, Dragonfly, and the Suite), Chaos and Creation, and Flaming Pie.

My favorite?

I love all Paul's 70's stuff. Maybe it's because I partly grew up with it, but I think all Wings' albums are good ones. There's always a lot of songs I enjoy very much.
