Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm not sure what you mean here...but this is one of the greatest love songs of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I just think it is so beautiful and also WAY ahead of its time. Whatever that means Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I guess Im just saying in comparison to all those great love songs on Double Fantasy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Pre-Whole Love, my most listened to record of the year was the McCartney re-issue, I kinda love that album even the instrumentals. Then again I'm enough of a Sir Paul diehard, that Wings Wild Life is in my most played albums on iTunes. I have sat through Give My Regards to Broadstreet four times, and twice I kinda enjoyed it.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I just think it is so beautiful and also WAY ahead of its time. Whatever that means I agree.There were a lot of little gems on McCartney's first solo record. I guess Im just saying in comparison to all those great love songs on Double Fantasy I guess I have to come clean here that I feel John went right off the rails after Imagine.

PopTodd Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I know that this song isn't from this album, but Band on the Run stands up next to just about anything in the Beatles' catalog.So, not surprised to say that yes, "Maybe I'm Amazed" is all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Band on the Run was the first record I ever bought with my own money. I remember sitting on my front porch spinning it on my little record player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I think that Maybe I'm Amazed is the only Mc solo/Wings song I like. However, there are several Len solo songs that I like. One or two more than MIA...Jealous Guy for example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 "The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in a pie...come on!" This is one of my favorite lyrics ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find it hard to believe that you could make that statement without having listened to it. Of course, to each their own and all, but you could be missing out on something pretty amazing. (And, on the album he does not do that cheezy vocal ad libbing like he does at the beginning of the song.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find it hard to believe that you could make that statement without having listened to it. Yes, I have. In fact I actually own the CD (or maybe cassette?). I went thru a huge Beatles and Beatle-related music obsession in the early 1990s where I absorbed everything (even Ringo solo records ...ugggg). We might have to just agree to disagree on this one. BotR doesn't work for me, for whatever reason. I have never been a 'Paul Guy' anyway. I put Lennon and Harrison songs generally above all Paul Beatle tunes, as well. I once made a mixtape for a friend of my favorite Beatle songs and I realized afterwards there were no Paul songs! LOL. Totally unconscious! Of Fab Four solo records, I rank top 5 as follows: 1. All Things Must Pass2. Plastic Ono Band3. Imagine4. Living in the Material World5. McCartney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 McCartney's Unplugged Session is pretty darn good too. I remember reading an article in Guitar Player once that said McCartney and Eric Clapton were the only two artists who actually performed entirely unplugged for the series.

jakobnicholas Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'd probably rank "All Things Must Pass" as the best post-Beatles records, though Harrioson had been accumulating most of the songs for years. I'm a huge Paul fan (including Wings), so I think his post-Beatles work in general is the superior of the group. I have a personal love for Back To The Egg...an album that might as well not have been released, 'cause it's hardly ever mentioned. While certainly not on par with "McCartney" or "Ram", I think it's a very energetic, gutsy record. To the basis of the thread, "Maybe I'm Amazed" is at least as good as anything Lennon did post-Beatles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Back to the Egg is a gem, there are some great cuts on that one. I enjoy most of Wings output, Speed at Sound has some pretty low moments, but even that one is pretty interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
