Your "conversion playlist"
-
There may already be a thread to this effect, and please PM me if you find it, but I wanted to give this idea a try anyway... I'm sure many of you have had that experience, as McCartney fans, where you run into someone (or more) who knows little to nothing of Paul's career past the Beatles. To be honest, I get a lot of people who ask "isn't that the one who was shot?"
: 
ops: Obviously this raises the issue of a vast amount of the populous that is culturally deprived by not having being exposed to the best of Paul's post-Beatles work. We must do something about this! 
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting if we used this thread to do just that. In essence, if you had to pick about 12-14 songs from all of Paul's post-Beatles career that could make the case for why he is extremely relevant (both historically and currently) as an artist, which songs would you choose? Think of your list as more of a playlist than another "greatest hits/fan favorites" album. I recommend choosing songs that are high in quality (i.e. hidden album gems) than the outright famous ones, but its totally up to you. Remember: you have to pick 12-14 songs that can convert the average layman into "McCartneyism"

I'll give it a shot... Heart of the country Give Ireland back to the Irish Little Lamb Dragonfly Don't let it bring you down Footprints Letting go (Single Edit) No more lonely nights The end of the end How kind of you Old Siam, Sir Heaven on a Sunday Beware my love C'mon People (The order of the songs may have to be figured out better)

Assuming the person in question has never heard any of Paul's solo output (where have they been!? haha), I feel like this would be a good introduction/overview: 1. Band On The Run 2. Another Day 3. My Brave Face 4. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey 5. Juniors Farm 6. Don't Let It Bring You Down 7. Call Me Back Again 8. Only Mama Knows 9. Live and Let Die 10. The Lovers That Never Were 11. Daytime Nighttime Suffering 12. Take It Away 13. Beautiful Night 14. Maybe I'm Amazed ("Wings Over America" version)
-
well, it depends the kind of music the person I'm making the list for likes the most... But, okay... something like this, no particular order: Beautiful Night C'mon People The End of The End My Love Gratia Celebration No More Lonely Nights Mull Of Kintyre Figure Of Eight Give Ireland Back To The Irish Live And Let Die Your Loving Flame Warm And Beautiful

I was going about this list under the notion the listener had not heard any Paul.. Is this not the case? I believe his best songs are in my list regardless. Give or take

"Don't know how many of you know this, but George was a very good ukelele player..." Off topic I know, but I just couldn't resist it...
ops: and it has been changed in recent years "Some of you may know, but George was a vey good ukelele player...." -

I was also going to say, how can anyone not like Jet? thats like seriosuly Paul's best song ever, can;t believe you skip it on BOTR! I agree its played out, but there's a reason for that. It's def one of Wings best songs. killed me leaving off Get On The Right Thing. and also Oo You. Make my album 14 and add those 2
see and you just can't give the nod to Golden Earth Girl over Lonely Old People/Treat Her Gently.. thats so close it hurts. and I'd like to include newer songs..
