Brand-new to Via Chicago, but this is right up my alley, and it really forced me to get my priorities straight to narrow it down to only 10 ;)!

Also really loved Comin' Up when I was a kid, but it's missing whatever ineffable quality needed to rise to current Top 10 status.

I doubt I could name ten, much less best ten. but I'll try.

 

Come and Get It.  (not even technically post-Beatles)

Maybe I'm Amazed

I like a lot of the songs on McCartney, but I don't know the song names.

 

Well, there you have it.

What I like about many McCartney songs is how he, many times, makes the latter 3rd of the song something special and something you look forward to. You think Beware My Love is over, but it's not. And it's finish is as good or better than the start. The late instrumental on With A Little Luck is maybe the highlight of the song. We Got Married (live) goes on fairly long at then end, buy I never want to skip it. None of this mentions the obvious songs that are like 2 or 3 songs in one. I just find many his of songs chock full of fun and/or creative ideas. My favorite musician ever, and I don't have to really think about it.
