What Is Your Favorite Paul McCartney Song...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I don't know if he's my favorite Beatle but he's the only Beatle I got to see live-four times...


I saw him at Joe Robbie and RFK Stadium in 90 and the Citrus Bowl and Blocbuster Stadium in Charlotte in 93...


The RFK concert rocked... It was on the Fourth of July...Times were great then even though there was a * in the White House...

I think McCartney made some great pop rock music in the 70's.... I think Band On The Run stands up favorably against any post Beatles work....

Here it goes....

Only post Beatle stuff

[jus_the_facts]

1. Maybe I'm Amazed......

....at the way you love me all the time......ahhh yeah...definitely my favorite! :loveya:

[Darth_Kitten]

[Parche]

16. since

Admiral Halsey is the one I respect the most!!!!
He was one of the best Admirals

WHAT THE MAN SAYS

[MissMillie]

27. BY FAR!!!!!

One of the best (if not THE best) love song ever written.

[Maple]

2. Mull of

Kintyre.

[SiobhanClancy]

6. That's mine too

I heard it played by a piper when I was in Scotland...very nice done that way,too.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Mull Of Kintyre Circa 1977

That was a great year....

I forgot he also did Give Ireland Back To The Irish...

[Maple]

17. I'd love to get

'Give Ireland back to the Irish' but I've never been able to find it.

[SiobhanClancy]

18. If you can get the 2nd CD release of Wild Life(Wings)

released in 1993,it's on there as a bonus track.

[Maple]

19. Oh great!

Thanks!

[David Zephyr]

9. Oh, Mull of Kintryre.

All together now...everybody.

[Terwilliger]

23. oh, mist rolling in from the sea

my desire...is always to be here...oh Mull of Kintyre

[Dogmudgeon]

13. One of his best

I'm a sucker for songs in 3/4 time.

[davidinalameda]

3. Live and Let Die

probably the best James Bond theme

[kixot]

5. I second that for the best James Bond theme.

Hands down.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Great Concert Song....

Arguably best Bond theme song.....


I like McCartney.... He's a FOB.....

[NewYorkerfromMass]

25. There was a thread on that a week or 2 ago

on best Bond theme. Lot of Live and Let Die votes too.

[kixot]

4. The Long and Winding Road

tearful.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. That's Beatles Stuff

Let It Be

Hey Jude

Yesterday

Michelle

Here There And Everywhere

The list is infinite...

[spaceprophet]

20. Let It Be

I know the thread starter said "only post Beatles" but I couldn't resist. Although you can't tell on the studio tracks, Linda's voice on the live stuff just grates on my nerves.

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be is probably one of the top 5 Beatles songs of all. A stable full of Benedictine Monks couldn't have chanted a more inspirational musical passage. Guarnteed to send chills down your spine.

24. Hi spaceprophet!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[David Zephyr]

7. Wanderlust & Here, There and Everywhere & Fool on the Hill

and Mother Nature's Son, too.

Loved Paul, but idolized John.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. You Forgot

Why Don't We Do It The Road....


I remember a Rolling Stone interview with McCartney in 90 where he said he didn't like to be seen as the "staid" Beatle...

He was saying how he was going to the London clubs listening to Hendrix way before Hendrix came to be vogue...

[Dogmudgeon]

11. Young Boy

An underrated song.

Also "Freedom", which is more pertinent now than it was in late 2001.

--bkl

[Kahuna]

21. Hey Jude. I know it's a Beatles song, but it's..

really Paul's song. He wrote it and sang it.

[Terwilliger]

22. other: Mull of Kintyre

I love that song

[joeybee12]

26. Band on the Run, because I won it by being the correct caller on a local

radio station.

Very exciting for me at the time.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Now how about the LAMEST McCartney song thread?

Possible nominees: "Freedom", "Silly Love Songs", anything he did with Michael Jackson...

[mac56]

29. Question: When did Paul McCartney write "Silly Love Songs"?

Answer: When didn't he?

[Spirochete]

30. Medicine Jar

I think that was the name of it. Maybe Rush could play it as his show theme or something.

[Gato Moteado]

31. "bluebirds"....

...is one of my faves. also "maybe i'm amazed".

[Richardo]

32. Helter Skelter

Dude could rock!

If in the solo career, I'd say "1985".
