  1. Plaz, Can you put this to a "favourite vote" on McCartnet? Maybe you could start by posting the "core 25" on Macca-central. After others add suggestions (such as "Picasso") up to a total of 50, then put the list on McCartnet for voting.

  6. Nice list. Don't know them all yet, but of what I know so far, my additions would be:
    -Jenny Wren
    -Bluebird
    -Riding to Vanity Fair
    -Coming Up
    -Picasso's Last Words
    -Mr Bellamy
    (+ possibly Temporary Secretary, We All Stand Together, World Tonight, Somedays and Let em in)

    Ones I'd remove are harder. None I dislike, but possibly I'd take off No More Lonely Nights, Lonely Road and Promise to You Girl

  8. Add some of his best rockers rockers please...
    I don't think Daytime Nighttime Suffering is better than Give Ireland Back to the Irish, Hi, Hi, Hi, or Oo You for example..Come on! this is your favorites list..label it as such.

  9. Some People Never Know? it's ok, but not a top Macca song.
    look at the singles. The Beatles purposely issued their best work on singles, and the rest on LPs. A fact they have explained. Now McCartney hasn't always done this because the best song was usually issued as a single AFTER the album was released, unlike the Beatles that didn't include their best songs on the albums until the end (Something, Let it Be, etc.)

    Get rid of-
    Some People Never Know, Daytime Nighttime Suffering, Wanderlust, Don't Let it Bring You Down, Tomorrow.
    These are decent songs but not his best. Add five of his best rockers replacing these and you have a great list.

  10. here are some great McCartney rockers-
    Junior's Farm
    Girls School (B-Side)
    Hi, Hi, Hi
    Give Ireland Back To The Irish
    Figure Of Eight (You might not like it but it's a good rocker)
    Rock Show
    Arrow Through Me
    So Glad to See You Here

    McCartney's great work includes some rock, not just pop amd ballads.
    A few of these are listed as his best post 1971 songs on Glorious Noise
