Best Paul McCartney & Wings song

[Dogmudgeon]

1. You forgot "Mull of Kintyre"

--bkl

[Gildor Inglorion]

15. Yes!

The first time I ever heard it, I literally burst into tears when the bagpipes started. It's just about the most moving piece of music I've ever heard. :D

[populistmom]

2. No More Lonely Nights

[imax2268]

3. Band on the run

is my favorite...but they are all great...especially live...!

[ComerPerro]

4. The first half of Band on the Run

The second half, the "Band on the Run, band on the run..." part, really sucks.

But the first half is good.

[Rocinante]

5. Venus and Mars ( nt )

[Catch22Dem]

6. Other - Jet, Junior's Farm, Maybe I'm Amazed

[OneTwentyoNine]

13. Or 1984....

[Sufi Marmot]

7. What? No "Jet", No "Junior's Farm"????

Those songs rock, sort of..Although I have no idea what either song is about, even after repeated listenings...

-SM

9. Jet Rocks and here is what it is about (IMHO)

A boy from the wrong side of the tracks in is love w a proper girl named "Jet"

Her family disapproves of him.

He is trying to get her to defy them to be with him - even the Major (dad, grandfather?) believes in the rights of women - just stand up to them!

He prays to his own mother or Virgin Mary that he wants Jet to always love him.

Jet can't stand up to her family - but the narrator tries one more time to get her to leave them by asking her to climb on the back of his motorcycle and escape it all (and go for a ride in the sky).

To me the lyrics are pure poetry and some of Paul's best. And crank that baby up, the track ROCKS!!!!

[dbt]

10. I don't care what it's about!

You could tell from the first four seconds of the track that "Jet" was (pardon my geezerity here) a HIT RECORD!!!

:hippie:
dbt
(With the wind in my hair of a thousand races.)

[emulatorloo]

11. Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky

you are so right - it is thrillllllllllllling.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. This conversation begins and ends with Jet.

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. Those are MY two picks!

[Norbert]

8. Later Stuff like My Brave Face.

The collaberations with Elvis Costello were awesome.

[emulatorloo]

12. Some other great ones

Back Seat of My Car (not technically Wings I guess)
Let Me Roll It

[Burma Jones]

14. Helen Wheels, Mamunia

I always liked Magneto and Titanium Man too.

[mac56]

16. When did Paul McCartney write Silly Love Songs?

Answer: When didn't he?!

[emulatorloo]

18. What's wrong with that? I'd like to know

and here I go again.

I love you :grouphug:

[mac56]

23. LOL!

;-)

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Like, duh!

Maybe I'm Amazed is obviously the best. :eyes:

[NightTrain]

20. JET, baby!

n/t

[ldoolin]

21. "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", and "Press"

But not much in between. "Band on the Run" is good. The early 80s duets deserve to be melted down.

[LynneSin]

22. As long as it's not that stupid "Someone's Knocking on my Door"

That is like the 'Battlefield Earth' of bad songs!!

[emulatorloo]

25. Brother Michael, Sister Lynne - Open the door

And let her sin!


:hi:

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Rock Show

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Wings version of Maybe I'm Amazed

The only song on the poll i would put with those 3 is Live & Let Die.
The Professor

[Bossy Monkey]

26. The Farm of Junior n/t

[mitchum]

30. Yes, that's the one!

[Bake]

27. Maybe I'm Amazed

OK, that's pre-Wings, from his first solo album, "McCartney." But it's still better than anything he did with Wings.

Bake

[tom_paine]

28. I must be a mindless drone...I voted with the majority

:evilgrin:

I really like that song.

[tom_paine]

29. Damn, I want my vote back...I forgot "Uncle Albert"!

A Butter Pie? A Butter Pie. Stuff it in your mouth before I stuff it in your eye!

Hands across the water...the water. Heads across the sky...

I want my vote back! It's like I voted for Nader or something!

:evilgrin:

[CrownPrinceBandar]

35. I love that song (and the one I woulda chose), but...

its technically not a Wings song. It was from Paul's 1970 (I think)solo release "Ram."

[bif]

31. None

Never liked his stuff after the Beatles broke up.

[MrSlayer]

33. The Jailer Man and Sailor Sam....

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. My dad wanted to name me after "Jet."

Maximillian Wolfgang Jet Whitacre.

My mother wouldn't hear of it.

Damn you, vile woman!

[achtung_circus]

36. Most of Wings was sentimental, adolescent pap.

I went to the Band on the Run concert and Venus & Mars concert. I walked out on both, they sucked and I've never paid attention to anything post-Beatles since.

[Kat45]

37. I always liked the one that goes "Gonna Get High, High, High"

Is that the name of it? "Live and Let Die" is pretty good too.
