For me it's a tie between Off The Ground & Driving Rain

I don't get that one, either; perhaps they're the only Macca albums he's heard?
-
Idont think he's made a really bad album and theres something i love on every one but for me the weakest is Pipes Of Peace
-
I know the faithful will throw rocks at my window, but honestly both Wildlife and Venus & Mars put me to sleep. And really as much crap as Macca got for Wings, his 70s output broadly has aged well all things considered. But his late 80s albums? Not so much. Wowzers oww wow. (In my mind, Macca took a long vacation between "No More Lonely Nights" and Flaming Pie.)

Hands down worst McCartney album is Driving Rain. That was the time when he was with the bitch and the songs are about bad relationships and break ups (from a lover to a friend, Lonely road-"don't want to get hurt second time around..") hmmm I mean there were some songs that were good like Freedom and Your Loving Flame. Your Loving Flame is a beautiful song, just wrote it for the wrong girl lol

It's one of my fav. albums of Pauls. She's give up talking, Magic, Heather, DRiving into Jaipur and esp. Rinse the raindrops are just about the best things he's done since the 70's. Freedom however is far and away the most abysmal god-awful mess he's ever done.

I find Driving Rain to be one of the most bizzarely rated albums to date....it's either someone's favorite or someone's least favorate. Why not call it what it is, which is a nice little solid collection of songs that's neither his best or his worst?

ok, its a mediocre album. The title is weak, the front cover dull and depressing, and there are far too many songs on it but knock it down to a 10 song 45 minute set and there's a solid top drawer macca album there waiting to be cherished.

I'll throw my 2 cents in on the Driving Rain thing... IN MY OPINION it's one of his best album. Its tied with Ram, Venus and Mars and Flowers in the Dirt. I r eally love it! But i'd take Driving Rain over any of his other albums (including Band on the Run) any day! LOVE IT

If DR was edited down to a 40 or 45 minute album it would be great, it's too long, and has to much filler.

Is there one entitled "Paul McCartney's BEST album" ?? As an antidote to this one which keeps floating back to the top : Not that this hasn't been interesting at times. The diversity of opinions, etc.
-
The reason I say it's kind of a pointless thread is, there isn't officially a 'worst' album as far as a collective of his fans are concerned - someone's favourite (mine is Speed Of Sound) can be someone elses worst, and I've heard Speed Of Sound mentioned in that catagory when discussed b4. People like McCartney albums for different reasons - maybe because it was the first one they heard, and it holds a special place for them. Every album he's done has great moments, and his music has been so diverse. Some people narrow their taste in genres (they can't handle diversity), and so an electronic album like McC 2 they will immediately write off, because it's so different to an album such as Band On The Run. Yet McC 2 has been getting some terrific reviews in recent weeks, even though I've heard many fans in the past say it's his 'worst' album. So while these discussions are interesting, they'll never conclude as to what the best or worst album acually is )

The thread should have been "least favourite" then.

That's pretty much how I see it.

I agree it has been far too overexposed. The songs are great but to me Driving Rain is full of just as many great songs and has not yet had the recognition it rightly deserves. I think songs like Lonely Road and About You and Your Loving Flame can easily stand up to Band on the Run, Jet and Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five

I could do without "Your Loving Flame."
