Are you viewing the videos on a computer or is it on a cell phone? Because, often, certain YouTube videos don't play on mobile Internet.
Computer. I don't have a smartphone.

The whole Electric Arguments album.

Macca should write a song called 'Under appreciated'. Or 'Rare Gem'
I shall nominate Lonely Old People as a sick song often forgotten about. So beautiful I can't even listen to it sometimes, too pure. -
Lonely Old People is also one of my favourite Paul songs. As you said it's just so beautiful and poignant, just an overall amazing song. Another song that I think deserves more recognition is "Little Woman Love". I think it's such a catchy, funky song, and I love the middle eight. I really like this performance where it's merged with C Moon (another brilliant, under-appreciated song too, in my opinion
) -

I know!
I still live in hope that one day we may get a rarities tour! -
Going to add this one to the list too, Mary Had a Little Lamb :
Although this song may be considered to be a bit "quaint" or "twee", I think this is a truly beautiful version by Paul. Especially love the high parts Paul sings in the background during the "La la" section.
-
This is slightly off-topic but since we were discussing Take It Away earlier in the thread, I thought I'd post this cool clip I came across on YouTube earlier of Paul rehearsing it with Linda! I loved hearing just how much effort Paul puts into getting everything about the song perfect!

I've always loved this -- a great children's record. But ya know , the truly underappreciated Paul song (by the public and critics, not fans) is Silly Love Songs.
-
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Honey Pie", "When I'm 64", & "Roccy Racoon" are all under-appreciated, imo. Paul was being very innovative & creating a new genre of pop music with these songs, that only Ray Davies of the Kinks could match. The fact that John & George didnt "get it" added to why they were overlooked at the time.

Rainclouds and I'll Give You A Ring I agree are brilliant. How about these other B-sides: -I Want You To Fly (2005)
-Growing Up, Falling Down (2005) -I Lie Around (1973) -Check My Machine (1980) Plus a few album tracks I like a lot: -That Would Be Something (1970) -When The Night (1973) -She's My Baby (1976) -The Pound Is Sinking (1980) -Distractions (1989) and... -Bip Bop (1971)

Can't believe these morons are talking in the background and not listening to Paul (raptly)

Everything on Flowers in the Dirt and Off The Ground. Particularly The Lovers That Never Were. I LOOOOOVE that song. Elvis Costello was a good writing partner with Paul. I wish they'd collaborate again.
-
I think even Yesterday is under-apreciated. Certainly not the most under-apreciated, lol... but still underrated...
-

Couldn't agree more.
-
Agree. The title song "Off the Ground" is very, very nice too

The only ones I don't care for is distractions & the pound is sinking.

Another few under-appreciated ones I love: - Spies Like Us:
- Pipes of Peace: - My Brave Face:
