Where does one start? From the classics: Ram, Band On The Run, Venus And Mars (better than anything that thay gay-o Bowie will ever make in his tremendously overrated career. You're right, Keith Richards: heroin comes from coconut trees.)

Which is the most underrated of his underrated albums? Back To The Egg, London Town (FUCK YOU ROLLINGSTONE(magazine).com; but some of your stuff are good, especially in the porn section). Wild Life (yes).

I know that some of you posters (2 or 3) are more than willing to take Macca in your hearts. That is why I shake hands with them from a distance. And for the rest of you, who mock us and disrespect us: BOO. Shame on you. Not liking Macca is like not liking young blonde cheerleaders who sit on your face.

P.D.: I love you Tam. Now make me dinner, you stinker!

Mr Pleasant, I'm sure Joey at least will want to nuzzle your tender young brow to his bosom for this thread  :weed

The movie sucked, but I always liked the soundtrack for Give My Regards to Broad Street.

i love macca!
underrated does not even begin to describe his place in rock and roll.
macca was the other half of what made the lennon/mac so genius -
not the soft part, which is what he is always accused of, but he was a great rocker -
he was responsible for most the early beatles rockers ....
and what can you say about his bass work that hasn't been said...
amazing and competely original.
yes, macca is a genius.

" yes, macca is a genius "


" YES !! "

I would like to clutch you to me bosom and tickle you with me erect nipples .



J' Lo !

I love Paul!  I never signed the contract that said you can't love the Stones and the Beatles.  Love them both!  

Heather Mills?  evil, EVIL, EVILLLL!  She makes small children cry.  

Macca's in the top five greatest living rockers today.  You don't make two billion at any job if you suck at it.

bravo macca! you may have been an asshole to work with, but you are one of the best overall musicians to come out of the 1960s! despite the fact that "silly love songs" makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out....(hey...even our boys had "streets of love"....)

Starbuck, I believe you are too young to have appreciated the true horror of 1976.

zack, i remember those days well.

(see #34 on your list).

Sir Paul McCartney has signed with Penguin Young Readers Group to publish his children's picture book, "High in the Clouds: An Urban Furry Tale," in the United States on October 4, 2005. The initial US print-run is planned at 500,000 copies.

"Having worked on this story and the characters for many years, it's very exciting for me to see things come to fruition in what I think will be a remarkable book," said Paul McCartney.

For the project, McCartney teamed up with veteran children's book author, Philip Ardagh and animator, Geoff Dunbar. The story for High in the Clouds was inspired by an animated film called "Tropic Island Hum" on which Dunbar and McCartney had collaborated.

"This is going to be a major best-seller for us, and I know that a whole new generation of readers will become fans of Paul," says Doug Whiteman, the President of Penguin Young Readers Group who brokered the deal with the Editorial Director of Faber and Faber UK; Suzy Jenvey.

The book will be published under the Dutton Children's Book imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group, a division of Penguin Group (USA).

Why was Heather a Hooker ?!


WHY ?!

Mr. Pleasant, have you been drinking again?

Don't get me wrong - I loved The Beatles. But Macca, and "Silly Love Songs" in particular...well...there's really only one way to say this...
THEY SUCK.

I like Macca ok. But he is fucking annoying.  :D

Thank you! Turn Off Silly Love songs and turn on Helter Skelter! :keithpunky ;) Paul's Ok Wish him the best if it matters.
Good Job, You got balls I somewhat agree But "Silly Love Songs" can be made up by remembering it's "Helter Skelter"

let's call a spade a spade here:

1. macca is an egomaniac.
2. cash bar at mills/mccartney wedding? lame.
3. walking out of grammys when your album doesn't win best album of the year? ghey.
4. silly love songs? ebony and ivory? another day? ghey ghey ghey.

BUT....

1. very few had his voice, ranging from the boyish charm of till there was you to the gritty screaming of helter skelter & i've got a feeling and everything in between.
2. one of best melodic bass players in rock history. his bass lines will make a dead man cum...'
3. skilled on the guitar, drums and piano, making him perhaps the most versatile musician to come out of a decade of incredible, talented and gifted musicians.

in short...you may hate his personality and find him annoying. more power to you. but you can't argue with the fact that he is one of the best overall musicians out there. if you do, you clearly don't know what you're talking about!

Starbuck, you forgot the biggest thing: his songs!  This is the guy that wrote Hey Jude, Let It Be, Penny Lane, Yesterday, For No One, Elanor Rigby, We Can Work it out, Lady Madonna, Long and Winding Road, Helter Skelter, and All My Loving, any one of which another artist could make a career out of.  And that's just off the top of my head.  Macca is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

No way is he even close to "the most versatile."  

My selections for most versatile are either John Paul Jones (when he played with D. Galas, he played pedal steel for 1/2 of the show), or Ry Cooder(where did Joachim learn to play drums, if not from Ry?).  And even though I am not a fan of Brian Jones, didn't he play a whole slew of instruments -- banjo, sitar, etc., etc. more than competently?

Even assuming arguendo that McCartney did have technical skills, doesn't the soul-lessness of his solo career tip the scales against him?  "Silly Love Songs" and the like are the epitome of easy-listening crap.   I'll give him "Jet," "Helen Wheels," "Live and Let Die," and "Helter Skelter."  Now will he please go away?

He said "perhaps."  A qualifier.  How about "among" or "right up there."

He wrote a few good songs before the soul-less solo career.

jonesie is very versatile, i realize....but did he ever sing? vocal prowess is perhaps the most important quality in a band...you can be average musically, but if you sing purty, you'll get the crowds.

are you saying macca is a below average bass player? guitar player? you do know it was macca doing a ton of the leads in the revolver/rubber soul era, don't you? the dude was a good guitar player.

" 1. very few had his voice, ranging from the boyish charm of till there was you to the gritty screaming of helter skelter & i've got a feeling and everything in between.

When The Stones Painted it Black the Beatles Held Your Hand...(I'm pretty sure I have read this exact line written or posted somewhere before so please forgive me if this appears plagiarized. I will not claim any credit to creating this line. It just fits so well I could not resist).

Paul was singing Silly Little Love Song and The Stones did Miss You.

Yes. Yes. Anywhere from 30 -60 musical instruments. He was accomplished on piano, clarinet, harmonica....and add to that all the other instruments, including strange-to-Western-ears world music instruments, it's quite an impressive list. Not to mention that he could pick up ANY instrument and get something good/useful out of it in 30 minutes or less. {Even Keith admitted that, long ago...}
