Boy, do I have bad timing or what. Here I am posting a BYOBO from Sir Paul just one day after he celebrated his 66th birthday. Should I have done this yesterday as a birthday tribute - sure I should have. But as it is, perhaps I can be the first to wish him a happy birthday for next year.In any case, here is a list of some of my fave Macca songs. I've decided not to include Wings stuff as that is a list of it's own, and there is no way I could limit to just 15 with them piled in.
I think you'll find some surprises here, and if you're not familiar with them, I encourage you to check them out (clicky the linky in the list) and let me know what you think.
So once again inspired by Nat at Mini-Obs, the idea is the same as always:
Pick one of your favorite bands / artists and list 10-15 songs by that band / artist to compile your own best of compilation.
So here goes - The Best of Paul McCartney as compiled by me:
I thought I was the only one that like "Winedark Open Sea".
great list.
have a great weekend.
His current touring band is really good as well, a bit more loose and raw.
Winedark is great - one of those that just clicked on first listen. He can sure write a good song, can't he?
Thanks

RAM and McCartney are classic albums, though, packed with great songs. Some HAD to be hold overs from his Beatle days, but that's not a big deal. I'm still amazed by his talent.
Great post, Scott, and some wonderful, deep cuts in that list!
I still pick up pretty much everything he does, there are always gems hidden amongst the tracks. I am particularly fond of Flaming Pie, it really is an enjoyable listen.
I have heard a Beatles version of Teddy Boy and it sounds pretty much the same.
Thanks,
SB
