Favorite Paul McCartney solo/Wings songs

[AchtungBaby]

I know we have a favorite Beatles songs thread, and this is sort of a continuation of that. Paul is, easily, my favorite Beatle for so many reasons. And he's had an extraordinary career, even after The Beatles.

I was inspired to make this thread because today is the 45th anniversary of the U.K. Release of Paul's first solo album.

I'll be posted many songs in this thread, but I'm going to start with one of my very favorites.....


What are YOUR favorites?

 

[Dana Jean]

I loved his RAM ON album.

 

[CriticAndProud]

Live and Let Die is my favourite (mainly 'cause of its associations with my favourite Bond film).

Big Wings fan, I see! Great choices!

 

[AchtungBaby]

I loved his RAM ON album.

YES! His vocal range on that album is crazy good.

 

[AchtungBaby]

Basically, if it wasn't released in '83-'86 (McCartney's horrible period), I probably like it.

Hey, Sweetie!

It makes me smile and cry.

Yes, one of my favorites! Funnily enough, the album it's from (London Town) is one of the few McCartney albums I don't own. The others being Wings at the Speed of Sound, and Nature Life
