Back to Band on the Run.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:11 pm

It is over.

by Guest Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:12 pm

Slightly unnecessary reprise of the title track.

And it's Ova.

Er.. I know this one get's called the best Wings album, so much it's dreary.

But…

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:13 pm

That is a very accomplished album which never puts a foot wrong. It's amazing how much better Wings were once a couple of members did a runner. Personally, I still prefer Venus and Mars and Back to the Egg to it because they have a bit more variety to them.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Which one? ANSWER ME NOW!

Beef Jerky.

It also clearly lifts the saxophones from George's Savoy Truffle. shifty

So, is that it?

Have we now done all the Wings albums!?

Is the ~~nightmare~~ it over?

I really don't like lists or rating things as it's so subjective anything more detailed than bad, ok, good, Bowel shatteringly great is a little to much over anyalsis , but…

Band on The Run
Wildlife (well, I like it)
Venus And Mars
Wings Over America
London Town (I think this one has good songs, but the lifeless production… Oh dear)
Back to the Egg (maybe I could swap with the next one?)
Red Rose Speedway sleepy

Wings At The Speed of Sound

Well, I suppose Tug of War and Pipes of Peace could be claimed to be Wings albums, despite being released as Paul solo LPs, as they feature the core trio of Paul, Linda and Denny. shifty

I've not heard those two.

Snaps Kit-kat bar

Probably never will.

Sorry, did I miss something? dunno

PS - I like Walls and Sausages.

by Guest Fri Mar 06, 2020 12:42 pm

Should I say this?

I think Wings are underrated, as in they're perceived as being a terrible band and a waste of a genius.

But… As a total, they're err... OK.

well, there's a lot better groups from the 70s I'd rather listed too. Stuff like ~~Status Quo~~, David Bowie, ~~The Ringo Band~~, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, well take your pick really.

I'm giving them a group overall rating of 2.3r/5.

sad yes

Let's find out what the king thinks of the album.
