That last one was PAINFUL for me, Macca Mad.
Seriously!!! And this is why people can't reach any agreement on Paul McCartney's solo career. Because most of the songs on Macca Mad's list, I wouldn't dream of skipping. Smile Away? Eat at Home? Mamunia? Baby's Request? Nobody Knows? Calico Skies? English Tea? OK, I'll gladly give you Ebony & Ivory but Great Day?? Light from Your Lighthouse? I LOVE all of those. Paul is so many different songwriters rolled up into one. One thing is clear: I could never have dinner at Macca Mad's house. We'd be fighting over the stereo.

Cook of the House, heard it once years ago - never again.

Yeah, that's one I always skip, too. Same with Wino Junko on that album...yuck!

If I had to listen to my list whilst eating my appetite would be shot ! Still I don't see many of my list being flogged to death in concert....so maybe the man himself don't rate them either !!

Oh yes Driving Rain, that's an odd one and after 12 years of retrospection I think I can say this about it... I wasn't too fond of it to begin with, the first two tracks were always good and then it went a bit odd. Paul struggling to convey his mixed emotions is how my unqualified mind would judge it coupled with this very peculiar dense mix and noisy production it becomes quite a strange experience. But as per so many Paul albums with further listenings it grew and all the peculiarities and almost unfinished lyrics and arrangement made a sort of sense. Now, I still like the production, it's a bit out of fashion at the moment but it'll come back eventually. It's still a little under-done and I think the mix has revealed all that it's going to by now. I'ts about a quarter of an hour too long as well. I think Rinse The Raindrops coulda been a good single if it were edited too. I think it's an average Paul album. With a few standouts. Of course.
I think it could have been pretty good with some editing. My favorites are "Lonely Road" and "About You".

Just a little negative aside here, I was just thinking when you lot are listening to an album of Paul's which tracks do you tend to skip? What are your least favorite Paul songs?
Practically the entire "Wild Life" and "McCartney II" records.

I love that one too!! It's great! Boil Crisis and Biker Like an Icon are the ones I skip the most. "Prick the Blighter"

I agree with you, but I think we're in quite the minority on that one! I skip "House of Wax" and "Gratitude" on MAF.

I'll split the difference. I like House of Wax. But Gratitude is like nails on a chalkboard (shudder). And, sorry Sarah1471, but McCartney II is brilliant -- start to finish, and the bonus tracks, too.

probably ball room dancing as well (tug of war version)

Believe me if i'd had more time & included B-sides etc there would have been more ! I love most of his work, but lets face it he has committed some howlers to tape over the years.

Couldn't disagree more i love it's mood and the poetic imagery used. I love the manic guitar solos too.
