What’s your favorite 3 album run from Macca?

They are very solid picks! Ocean's Kingdom is great... and I listen to it quite a bit. Saw the ballet in NYC and was hoping there would be a DVD...sorry there wasn't, my seat was too far away to really enjoy the costumes and ballet as much as I would have liked, but of course I was there for the music and that was fantastic!
Oceans Kingdom would be sweet just for the music! I'm bringing the illustration of the 3 album run, with singles. the thing is the albums themselves were packed with singles, and many songs released as singles in their own right. at least 3 from both BOTR and V&M, right? plus My Love. McCartney records were quite literally flying off the shelves. ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/bb/Red_Rose_Speedway.jpg/220px-Red_Rose_Speedway.jpg[/img] [img]<a href=)http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ed/Live_and_Let_Die_(Wings_single_-_cover_art).jpg/220px-Live_and_Let_Die_(Wings_single_-_cover_art).jpg[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c7/Helenwheels.png/220px-Helenwheels.png[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f4/Paul_McCartney_%26_Wings-Band_on_the_Run_album_cover.jpg/220px-Paul_McCartney_%26_Wings-Band_on_the_Run_album_cover.jpg"/> ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/78/Juniors_farm_spain.jpg/220px-Juniors_farm_spain.jpg[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8c/VenusandMarsalbumcover.jpg/220px-VenusandMarsalbumcover.jpg) stores couldn't hold onto them longer than a day or so...

I really had to think about this but I agree with the above 3 album run.

I really had to think about this.......
This thread turned out to be much more interesting than I first thought. I mean, how hard can it be..... But it's not that easy In fact, I had to include a live album (although that was the only kind of record not allowed, and I am sorry) to get 3 in a row. RAM & RRS was a no go because of WL. V&M and SOS are good albums, but I always skip tracks. McCII and POP are also skip-tracks-albums for me. I don't like RDR and EA, and DR is another of those skip-tracks-albums, and I could go on and on and on...... Kudos to Kapoo for making me re-evaluate my Paul music

Totally same page glad I'm causing a few like LLDF and others to really think about Paul's output. in a way, forcing you to think about it Ooh argh argh. Force feeding Paul album covers he has some great covers IMO Paul's output can be so diverse project to project these days.

I'd say 'Driving rain', 'Chaos & Creation' then 'Memory almost Full' - how does the man keep doing it! The thing is that he still puts together such different-sounding albums, Driving Rain is mostly a full on Rock workout, except maybe for She's Not Talking, Riding To Jaipur and Lover To A Friend - probably the best three tracks mind you - but still I love the rockier stuff too., With Chaos and Creation In The Backyard I love every single track - it's like Dylan said about 'Love & Theft', "It's like a greatest hits without the hits!" execpt of course I'm sure Fine Line and Jenny Wren got in the charts somewhere (well they deserved to at least) - I always do myself a disc with Comfort Of Love on it as well as the second track because I love how the rhythm guitar sounds like it does on 'I want to hold your hand'! Finally Memory Almost Full is another great album, having Paul's greatest recent real rocker, Only Mama Knows, on it and for having an ambitious and lyrically intriguing Abbey Road-esque song sequence on 'side two'....

changing mine to: ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/94/PaulMcCartneyalbum_-TugOfWar.jpg/220px-PaulMcCartneyalbum-_TugOfWar.jpg[/img] [img]<a href=)http://www.jpgr.co.uk/afelp1047_a.jpg[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/58/PaulMcCartneyalbum_-_Pipesofpeace.jpg/220px-PaulMcCartneyalbum_-_Pipesofpeace.jpg"/> I think those albums were actually sequencial from 1982-83 classic.
