okay im playing... McCartney B Ram B Wild Life C Red Rose Speedway C Band on the Run A Venus and Mars B Wings at the Speed of Sound D London Town B Back to the Egg A McCartney II D Tug of War A Pipes of Peace D Give My Regards to Broad Street [ST] B Press to Play B Flowers in the Dirt A Off the Ground A Flaming Pie A Driving Rain A Chaos and Creation in the Backyard A Memory Almost Full D Electric Arguments B
So you prefer Off the ground to Ram?
just about yes. i would say RAM is a strong B whilst OFF THE GROUND is a weak A . not much in it but i prefer the songs on' off the ground ' whilst the voice on 'ram' is my preferance. 'off the ground' like 'driving rain' is very underated on here.both fantastic albums jam packed with diversity and brilliant songs. i like 'ram' who dosen't,but it is very overated at times.to me the amazing vocals and harmonies camouflage some of the weaker tunes.
-
Driving Rain is my least favourite.

Off The Ground better than RAM, i'll send the men in white coats around. Driving Rain is like Pet Sounds compared to OTG.

why i always watch carefullly platicsoulman's ratings ,even if i dont agree,i am always curious about his opinion according to plastic soulman the next album i need to buy is ram,do you know when ram will be re-issued,do you know if paul will re-issue all of his albums?

Hm, I'm not a huge fan of 'McCartney II'
-
Hi, Everybody! To Quagmire: LOL! Now, That's the Spirit!! When troubles come, they often come by the shovelfuls or in spades. To Michelley & Co.: I was just funnin'. It's Linda, right? To Everybody Else who've been rating the discs: Thanks! I'm enjoying the differences of opinions all around. Final Note: For Fun, you folks might want to check 'WIKIPEDIA' for some giggles about each of Paul's albums--Studio, Live, Classical, Experimental, etc. There's some interesting background stuff, reviews and anecdotes about most of them; for instance Ram & Band on the Run (to mention two). Take Care. Sincerely, Pat.

P.S. Just as some folks are always compiling their perfect track listing of the Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's...' album, with the 'Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever' single appended to it, in place of a couple of tracks that actually appear on it, I've been doing it with Paul's 'Band on the Run' album. MY 'Band on the Run' lineup goes like this: Side One: Band on the Run Jet Bluebird Mrs. Vandebilt Let Me Roll It Side Two Live and Let Die Country Dreamer Helen Wheels Picasso's Last Words [Drink to Me...] Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five Possible (or not) Hidden Bonus Track at End: Zoo Gang (depending on it's recording date, etc.} Anyway, it's just some more messing about. As for my real 'worst McCartney album'--I don't enjoy the FIRST Fireman album [Strawberries...] Take Care. Pat. 'Bye.

THE McCARTNEY INTERVIEW!
-
Oh, No! Not the McCartney Interview!! Where's Ed Rudy when you need him? :
-
Good list, I'd downgrade Red Rose Speedway to a D- and Press to Play to a B
-
Squid:
Okay. Let's settle this once and for all. Paul's bottom five, in no particular order: Memory Almost Full Off the Ground Press to Play Flaming Pie Flowers in the Dirt
That's too bad. Three of those are in my Top 5. (MAF, Flaming Pie, Flowers in the Dirt). If those are your least favorite, what are your favorite?
-
blue jay hey:
i probably say run devil run.couldn't get into this one,i would have to it more chances in the near future. i dig pipes of peace and alot of his older cataloge
For all those mentioning Run Devil Run, I don't think you could count it. Let's limit this discussion to all album with all original songs. (That throws out Unplugged and GMRTBS)
