1974 was a great year for Paul McCartney and Wings , three brilliant singles doing very well for him and the band on both sides of the Atlantic , " Jet " , " Band On The Run " and " Junior's Farm " , all three are classic records , so which was your favourite ? and why ?

Junior's Farm..obvious reasons  


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

What? You should have heard 'Band On The Run' a million times by now just by accident I would have thought.

Anyways, I choose 'Juniors Farm' but 'BOTHR' is probably the best song out of the three. Its close to epic in my opinion. 'Jet' I can do without. Its wore out its welcome with me. Sick of it.

I shouldn't be allowed to vote because I'm just not a McCartney or Wings fan. For whatever reason, I'm not in the target audience.

I enjoyed the energy of " Jet ", but its nonsensical lyrics meant I could never warm to it. " Junior's Farm " I have always hated with a passion. " Band On The Run " is a cute idea and has some interesting music, so I went with that. I like the humor in it and the change between the intro and the body of the song.

Junior's. Great rocker. The other two sound very dated to me now.

I picked Junior's Farm because as a single I like it better. I don't really enjoy the album versions of Jet and Band on The Run as much as I use to because I think the live versions perfect them.

Band on the Run. Of course.  


I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.

I think 'Helen Wheels', which was at the tail end of '73 beats the lot of them.

'Junior's Farm.' It's one of those ones I used to turn up to a ridiculous volume every time it came on my car radio. (Still do, actually.)
