I bought a month ago Wingspan in the bargin bin...

I'm loving it!

Still I consider Mull Of Kintyre their best single

Amazingly I just heard that song for the first time. It is pretty nice.

I'm a fan of Silly Love Songs. It shows a great self awarness from Paul.

By Paul I like:

Coming Up
Hi Hi Hi
Jet
Another Day

Jet is my favourite by far - an obvious choice to be sure, but I really think it's the only time post-sixties that Paul achieved the same melodic perfection that he used to so effortlessly and regularly back when he was in the Beatles.

Band On The Run

"Live and Let Die"

My favorite Wings song is 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five'; it's anthemic, it's catchy, and it reminds me a little of a Beatles song. Other than that, I think even the best Wings albums force you to sort the treasure from the treacle.

hi hi hi

my love

band on the run

listen to what the man said

NDRU said:

yeah me too.. i like the bit in English Tea where he saids "very twee, very me"

that was a stab at all the people that literally said his music was "too twee"

i like that.. he basically said without saying, yeah, I am.. so fuck off.

"My Love" or "Band on the Run"

I love their singles.

My favorite is "Let 'Em In".

"Jet"


I have that 2-CD "Wingspan" set too,and it is fantastic.The first disc is incredible....one great song after another.

"My Love" is definitley my No 1... Nany Wilson did an outstanding version, luve it!

this would be followed by Let'em in, Mull of Kintyre, Coming Up (yeah, cheesy but fun)

I also love "Goodnight Tonight"....has a cool disco flavor to it

SoulAlive said:

I agree 100%...Macca has some great songs there!

I'm a fan of all those!

Actually my favorite track by Wings was "Arrow through Me", from Back To The Egg...That's a Funky Track!! I'm not sure if it was ever released as a single, though.....

Let 'Em In is weird. Such a stupid song, but it has that pop something that makes it special & memorable.

NDRU said:

Live & Let Die
Band On The Run

SoulAlive said:

Not a bad 'un that, I was almost going to add the wonderful "Coming Up", but it's Macca solo cut.

Dancelot said:

Mull of Kintyre .... AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! That fucker spent 9000 weeks at No 1 in the UK when I was a kid. Caused me irrrrreperable mental damage. Should I sue?

With A Little Luck & Listen to What The Man Said are well written & catchy with that pop fairy dust sprinkled on them, like Let Em In.

That's why I was surprised I'd never heard it until recently. I don't think it was a hit in America.

NDRU said:

No. You were spared because it flopped.

Shapeshifter said:

hehe, yep childhood memories coming up back at that time here in Austria we had one single Pop Radio station (nowadays it's something like ehh... three??) and yeah, Kinteyre was on heavy rotation for sure... still I haven't heard the song in a decade at least

Nobody here likes "Maybe I'm Amazed"? That's a great song. I forgot to put it on my list. I'm relieved that someone mentioned "With A Little Luck" earlier.

I think it's because it's a Paul McCartney song, not a Wings song.

NDRU said:

Actually Wings released a live version of this in 1976. Given that most wings songs were written by Macca, i think it can actually qualify - but only the live version.

Maybe Im Amazed is possibly the greatest mcCartney song ever.

Oh god, anything but!! lol I hate that song with a passion

CrozzaUK said:

only if it was a single!
