McCartney II is a must have???


here is some of his albums that are must haves for me...

McCartney Album - BRILLIANT.. yeah, it was done quickly, and most of it is demo like, but it has aged like a fine wine.. I love it.. great driving cd.

Off The Ground - its a so so but it has a few songs that I personally think are very important. always love revisiting Golden Earth Girl, C'Mon People, I Owe It All To You, Mistress and Maid.....

Wingspan Set (of course)

Flaming Pie - I would get this just for "somedays" the song.. but if not, just find it.


The Fireman - Avante Garde disk.. very cool.

Red Rose is interesting..


Honestly, even the albums I really disliked.. I always found a few songs that were great.. and now that I go back I even like more...

Songs on albums that were'nt worth it..

Here Today (a song for john) (one of his best written songs imo)
Through Our Love (hey, I like it smile)
Somebody Who Cares

i like McCartney II for "coming up" and "goodnight tonight". there's a creepy weird kind of playful production on this album that kinda reminds me of prince back in the camille days...

I always thought that Golden Earth Girl had one of the prettiest melodies...


I always play it on the piano.. its sad sounding, but very beautiful.

Ram, McCartney and Band on The Run is the proof

I've also been re-acquainted with the cheesy but VERY fun song "Goodnight Tonight", which I was crazy about as a kid...in fact, it's the first vinyl 12" single I ever owned! My mom bought it for me at KARMA RECORDS (remember them, midwesterners?).



I love "Goodnight Tonight".I remember hearing it alot on the radio in 1979.It has a slight disco flavor to it,I bet it was popular in the discos back then.Paul was getting a little funky in these days.A year later,he came out with "Coming Up",another superb dance track.
