Simple, vote for one of the following, then I'll come in and tally the votes after each day or so until the final survivor is left. Band on the Run was not included, so it's really any album's game...
McCartney Ram Wild Life Red Rose Speedway Venus and Mars Wings at the Speed of Sound London Town Back to the Egg McCartney II Tug of War Pipes of Peace Give My Regards to Broad Street Press to Play Flowers in the Dirt CHOBA B CCCP Off the Ground Flaming Pie Run Devil Run Driving Rain
I'll start by voting for Give My Regards to Broad Street, mostly due to the needless remakes of classic Beatles songs.

So you're assuming that BOTR is so good it could never be anyone's worst album of the day? There are at least two albums there that wipe the floor with BOTR.
If you're going to ask people for their prefs, don't remove an option - it looks (and IS!) patronizing.
I agree Maria, BOTR shouldn't have been removed to respect other people tastes. But seriously BOTR will win this survivor easily if it's there imo, at least that's my favorite Paul/Wings album

Thanks for the back-up, Bruno. But for me (and for many others, I know) BOTR has not worn well over time. For me, Macca's "timeless" work is Ram (although I do admit there's a couple of not-so-good ones on that album even). On Ram, Paul took risks and pulled it off well.
Alright, Band on the Run will now be included....we'll see what happens. Voting's been up for a while so Wild Life shall be removed from the bunch. Now it's time for Round Two, vote for TWO of the following to speed things up a bit.
McCartney Ram Red Rose Speedway Band on the Run Venus and Mars Wings at the Speed of Sound London Town Back to the Egg McCartney II Tug of War Pipes of Peace Give My Regards to Broad Street Press to Play Flowers in the Dirt CHOBA B CCCP Off the Ground Flaming Pie Run Devil Run Driving Rain
My vote goes to Give My Regards to Broad Street and another needless release, CHOBA B CCP.

As for me, you can kill any of these:
Off The Ground, Flaming Pie, Press to Play, Red Rose Speedway, Pipes of Peace, Tug of War, McCartney II and London Town, since I have never bothered listening to any of them (with the exception of Pie and the occasional single pulled from each). None of these were deemed worth spending the time on, IMHO.

Your killing me Chuck. I love all of those albums except for McCartney 2 (which should have easily been the first to go). Its ok if their disliked, but I deem them worthy of a few listens.
Sorry, pal. What can I say? Paul produced so much trash there was no real reason to listen after awhile (Oddly enough I do own Pipes (2 copies) and Tug...just never really felt compelled to spin them).
I actually did listen to Flaming Pie, and found it wanting. Of course, had I listened to it more than once I might have found it ok, it just didn't grab me (like, for instance, My Brave Face did, leading me further into the Flowers in the Dirt LP).
I know Tug of War is said to be good by most people I know, I only heard the singles, they were ok.
Off the Ground, Biker Likean Icon was pretty good, toherwise...
