But the songs were better on That There London Town.

I think I'm over thinking this.

It's only Band on the Run to go, and after that we'll have a comprehensive running commentary on all the Wings albums! Excited

Wings.

Why's It called Red Rose Speedway anyway? I didn't hear any songs praising the noble art of broadsiding on a brakeless bike. dunno

While being on the correct side of the Pennines. evil2

Over the last few days, I have re-listened to Flaming Pie, Egypt Station and Off the Ground, and have come to the conclusion that both Egypt Station and Off the Ground are better than Flaming Pie. This is, therefore, my new Macca album ranking.

Thinking that Off the Ground is better than Flaming Pie is near-heresy amongst Macca fans but I am happy to say it. box

Wasn't Flaming Pie done after he'd just done The Beatles Anthology series, and sounds a lot more Beatlesish than his normal output?

And some of the less young minded, less avant-garde McCartney fans like that sort of thing. Gorilla No

It does have its Beatley moments but it also feels very reminiscent of Band on the Run which I think helped. It's a very strong album with a lot of very good songs on it but I think I prefer Off the Ground because it has more variety to it.

I'll do this.

This playlist is boogered too. Colbert

I'll listen to it on my iTunes.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:01 pm

Jangly twangly intro...

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:02 pm

Not all that appealing in that it's not going anywhere in particular and Macca's doing his shouting thing.

My iTunes playlist is incomplete! gaah

Oh shut up about your 'big barn bed'.

F*S.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:04 pm

I'm having to download the end of the album before my incomplete playlist reaches the bit where it cuts off...

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:05 pm

My Love.

I do like this one.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:05 pm

It's a Delia Smith kind of love song.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:07 pm

It doesn't really go anywhere this either.

Also, it's as naff as plastic daffodil, but heartfelt nonetheless.

Done it.

Get On The Right Thing.

I seem to recall this being OK too.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:09 pm

Nice reverb on the vocals.

Oh, he's shouting again.
