You would be happy Nancy...for his best 20 Paul McCartney songs from the 90's, he chose a bunch from Flaming Pie including Calico Skies as his #1. Beautiful Night and Little Willow were also very high up his list. No surprise here in that Flaming Pie was easily his best Album of the Decade.
Thanks oobu24 for sharing this vidio. I really enjoyed hearing his opinions. It makes sense that since we finished up another decade (2010 to 2020) we will get "Best of the Decade Paul song Lists" on youtube. Many of this person's song choices were on my list but he added a couple of "classical" pieces that Paul did in the 90's. I stayed away from anything from Paul's "Classical" albums and stayed more in Paul's wheelhouse...the Pop-Rock Genre. Another difference in our lists is that he stayed only with Paul-written songs. Conversely, I had a few "covers" on my 90's list like Brown Eyed Hansome Man, Lonesome Town and No Other Baby. I do understand his point about not including "covers" but Paul has done over the years a superb job on certain "covers" where he makes a particular song his "own". As a big fan, I would like to have the 3 cover songs I mentioned above on a 90's Disc. My Decade Lists here on Maccaboard were not necessarily based on "Best Of, biggest hit or most known Paul songs but on good songs that Paul left off his corresponding albums during the Decade and I even included "Unreleased" songs. I was looking at a Complete Paul Anthology by Decade that didn't duplicate his earlier Compilation packages that fans have already bought.
The other big difference in our Lists is that he only includes "studio" tracks. In the 90's especially Paul did many "live" shows where, in quite a few cases. his "live versions" easily surpassed the studio versions in my opinion. Paul was still singing very well in the 90's and he had 2 different but great bands during his "Off the Ground" tours and his "Run Devil Run tour. A good example for this is where he picks the studio version of C'Mon People from Off the Ground. Conversely, I saw several live versions of C'Mon People that were much better (in my opiniion) on his 1993 World Tour. Another advantage of using great "live versions" is that it gives big time fans who have already bought the original album a different take on the song instead of using the exact same studio version on the Compilation Package.
Anyway I really enjoyed seeing what other big time Paul fans think about Paul's output in the 90's.

I'm listening to Tripping the Live Fantastic (1990) in my car whenever I drive somewhere. God, his voice was great then!
I need to take a road trip and listen to all his solo albums (some I've only listened to maybe twice!) "Don't cane me, I was led astray!" -
BJ, do you think including "Cut Me Some Slack" with David Grol and members of Nirvana would be good edition. Yes, mostly a jam but still a good part of history with McCarney doing song with them.

And if you have a lot of Macca CD's, it makes the most sense. Since you love the 70's, albums like Venus and Mars, Ram, Red Rose Speedway, London Town and Back to the Egg are all good. If you got any of the bonus CD's from the new Archive Release of Red Rose Speedway make sure you give them a listen. They contain a lot of extra songs written around the time of the Ram, Wildlife and Speedway sessions. I found them quite enjoyable since they were like "new songs" for me.

I have all the archive releases. The only one where I just have the 2 CD release is Wings At The Speed Of Sound.

Good call Yankeefan. As you know, it was written by Paul and the surviving members of Nirvana at the end of 2012 so I personally think it could be part of a 2010's Decade Disc. Apparently Paul (a close friend of Dave Grohl's) was invited by Dave to jam with the members of Nirvana and "Cut Me Some Slack" was written during the subsequent jaming session. Paul had said that he had gotten a new guitar and was fooling around with some chords and during the impromtu jam "Cut Me Some Slack " came out of it.
I had considered "Four-Five Seconds" for the 2010's Disc, but I wasn't sure that song made sense for a Paul McCartney Anthology. While Paul had a hand in writing "Four-five Seconds" initially with Kanye West, he didn't really play on the song nor is he singing on the single which became a hit. The single release is, of course, sung by Rihanna and Kanya. Conversely on "Cut Me Some Slack" Paul not only wrote the song with the surviving members of Nivana, he is the lead singer. As far as sequencing "Cut Me Some Slack" with other songs on a 2010 Compilatlion Paul Disc, I think it would be important. "Cut Me Some Slack" is defiintely a "hard rock" style song that has a loose feeling of "Helter Slelter"and to me so it is definitely different than many of the songs I've listed. It might be a good closer type song on the Disc.
Another song I forgot about for the 2010's would be "In the Blink of an Eye"written by Paul for the Ethel and Ernest Motion Picture in 2016. Really a nice Pop Song with a beautiful melody and sung by Paul. It would, in my opinion, fit beautiful with many of the songs on my list. The fact that it wasn't on any Paul original album and not on any of Paul's previous Compilations (including his latest Pure McCartney) makes total sense for what this type of Paul McCartney Post Beatles Anthology by Decade is about.
When I was putting the 2010 Decade together, I did feel as though I had a little too many songs from "Egypt Station" and" New" on the proposed tracklist. "In the Blink of an Eye" and "Cut Me Some Slack" would both make sense and make the full 2010's tracklist more well rounded. Paul just has so many songs not on his original albums and it is why I think a full Paul Anthology By Decade does makes total sense especially in a couple of years. Just me opinion.

I just don't see McCartney spending the time to do a project like this, could see him overseeing somebody else doing the hard work and him giving the songs selected his up or down vote. Do you think somebody like Giles Martin would be a good person to lead this type of project? He has produced McCartney and is the son of the late George Martin so I think he could be trusted to do a good job. If not him, maybe we nominate you -lol.

I agree...I don't see Paul personally doing something like this with all the things he's involved with. I thnk he needs the right person/persons that likes and knows his music, knows what he already has done in terms of compilatlions and what is missing. I was jumping on the idea since another Decade has gone by filled with good Paul McCartney music. I think one key is to find the good unreleased music in his vaults or stuff that most people (even people who know Paul's Catalog pretty well) don't know or have trouble getting a hold of. An Anthology that could deliver that and wouldn't be filled with duplications from other "compilations would have a ready made market. Hopefully a "Deep Anthology by Decades" would be available in a couple of years.
I know a few people on this board (ha, ha) that would do the work for free (as long as he pays expenses!) so hopefully Paul might sign us up. Thanks Yankeefan.
PS Giles Martin would certainly be a good choice but he's pretty busy himself.

Sounds like a great project... would love to see that!
You mentioned In the Blink of an Eye, which was a beautifully illustrated project of a family during the war and such a beautiful song by Paul with Classical back-up. Just wanted to post a deserving song, for those who may not have heard it. Love it!

Love2travel,
Thank you very much for "posting" this song. When I was doing my 2010's Decade's list, I remembered "In The Blink of an Eye" but i had to look it up on Youtube. Like you, I think the song is beautiful. This is the perfect type of song for a Paul McCartney Anthology Package by Decade that is filled with deep cuts, unreleased songs, live tracks and songs done for special projects. Paul has so many of them and I would like a really good Anthology with a Disc for each Decade (5 Discs). We don't need another greatest hits Package but something that is complete and covers every Paul era. And even Paul albums that were unsuccessful (e.g. McCartney 2 or Press to Play) have some great songs on them. Thanks again.

Beautiful song but I kind of wish this was done before McCartney had his "older" voice. Like you said, this is the perfect type of song that belongs on Anthology package.

9. Early Days - one of my favorites on the "NEW" album that is very autobiographical describing Paul and John Lennon when they were first starting out in their music careers together. Great lyrics.
10. Alligator - one of my favorite deep cuts on "NEW". Great production

Sounds like a great project... would love to see that!
You mentioned In the Blink of an Eye, which was a beautifully illustrated project of a family during the war and such a beautiful song by Paul with Classical back-up. Just wanted to post a deserving song, for those who may not have heard it. Love it!
Love2travel,
Thank you very much for "posting" this song. When I was doing my 2010's Decade's list, I remembered "In The Blink of an Eye" but i had to look it up on Youtube. Like you, I think the song is beautiful. This is the perfect type of song for a Paul McCartney Anthology Package by Decade that is filled with deep cuts, unreleased songs, live tracks and songs done for special projects. Paul has so many of them and I would like a really good Anthology with a Disc for each Decade (5 Discs). We don't need another greatest hits Package but something that is complete and covers every Paul era. And even Paul albums that were unsuccessful (e.g. McCartney 2 or Press to Play) have some great songs on them. Thanks again.
There are so many underplayed and therefore underappreciated songs of Paul's. On your lists, I've seen a lot of my personal favs and a couple that I've temporarily forgotten, like My Soul...great song, Thank you Darling... saw that one with Paul and Linda somewhere and thought it was such a perfect song for them both. On the Wings of a Nightingale is another amazing song that needs to get more exposure. Beautiful Night, I agree, one of my most fav solo songs. Oobu Joobu is fascinating. I have some, but would happily buy the complete set of that project, not even sure if all of that is recorded, Same for Ocean Kingdom DVD I thought I saw people recording it, thebeautifully composed music and the beautiful dancers in Stella's amazing floating costumes. It deserves to be shared in my humble opinion. There's so few photos even.
You have chosen so many hidden or underplayed great ones! Some others that I feel would be great to include would be the latest Blue Sway which is dedicated to Linda and you can really feel the love.
Also 222 was on fire...
Another soul grabbing song is India
A song he gave to Diana Krall just Wow
