It needs to go the same way as the Jordan Henderson thread title.

Make it so. The world's biggest legend in any field alive today is a scouser.

He's always seemed a bit naff to me- I was a teenager in the early '80s- long past his heyday- and this list of 30 of his best post-Beatles songs demonstrates why- https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/16/paul-mccartneys-greatest-post-beatles-songs-ranked. There's a lot of bland stuff in there, and it doesn't even include outright travesties like Ebony and Ivory, Mull of Kintyre or the Frog Chorus. Still, the Get Back sessions showed him in a very good light, such a shame he and Lennon couldn't work together for longer; together they were much greater than the sum of their parts.

That list (and I bet you’ve only heard half of them) is better than anyone else’s 30 best songs you can imagine, with the possible exception of Stevie Wonder, Dylan and Randy Newman. And it isn’t even his 30 best post-Beatle list.  And imo, Get Back was the weakest album the Beatles issued after 1963, by the time the Get Back sessions were recorded, McCartney kept his strongest stuff for his solo albums (as did George). 
 

Things like the Frog Chorus were written as a commission ffs

Guys, I have said before that I agree this thread needs to go away, I am embarrassed by the fact I created it, I can't even remember my state of mind at the time but I'd wager I was hammered.

 

I'd like it if it could be deleted, I'd hate it if in many years to come and the worst happened that this thread is dragged back up.

 

Sorry everyone.

I agree. I dont find his solo stuff very good at all but obviously the Beatles stuff was phenomenal. A bit like certain sports players who only seem to play under a certain manager or with certain other players.

Maybe one for the Bruce thread too.
