Paul McCartney’s 5 Greatest Albums Outside of the Beatles

 

Okay we all love the Beatles and I think that it is very hard to deny that McCartney as a whole has probably the single greatest collection of songs under his belt than any other musician in history. Almost every album he has done since the demise of the greatest band in history has had something very special to offer. Iconic songs that we either love and can name within a couple of notes or songs that we are at least very fond of. However, despite all of this greatness, I believe there are five albums in particular that stand out about the rest that hold a level of greatness from beginning to finish and here there are in the order that I feel they should be in.

 

5) Venus and Mars

 

Despite this album only having one major top forty single, ‘Listen to What the Man Said,’ this album was full of wonderful little gems. It had some very cool rockers like ‘Rock Show’ and some other songs not to be taken too seriously like ‘Magneto & Titanium Man.’ One of my personal favorites was a song that was two songs in one (which was something that Paul used to do often) called ‘Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People. Another cool song was ‘Medicine Jar.’ However, this was a song not sang by Paul. Instead, his guitarist (the late) Jimmy McCulloch helmed the vocal duties and was only one of two songs he sang in his tenure with the band. This album as a whole doesn’t have a bad song on it and it captured McCartney’s classic 70s sound that would never be duplicated past that album.

  Paul McCartney’s 5 Greatest Albums Outside of the Beatles   Sorry I didn't get a chance to make a post last night, I know you are all traumatized. So in order to rectify the situation a bit, I am adding two additions to McCartney's top five albums and again these albums may not contain his biggest hits, but they are the most solid albums from beginning to finish. Today I am listing number 2 and 3. Numbers 4 and 5 have already been posted with number 5 being 'Venus and Mars' and number four being 'Tug of War.'   3) Back To The Egg   Okay, I know that some people might be scratching their heads here for this album did not sell very well and you will never find any song on it on any greatest hits package. However, this album that was released in 1979 kicks ass and there is not a bad song on it, unless you have the special edition version that has ‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reggae,’ then there might be some room to disagree with that stateme

CHAPTER 21: SHE SELLS SANCTUARY (Part 1)/Jungle Love Andrea was in the shower when I arrived for my first sleepover at her house but she had left a key out for me so I could let myself in. This pleased me greatly, for anytime I could find her in a state of nakedness, was a good time to find her indeed. Upon getting ready, she and I had a very nice evening together which included dinner and a movie. Then as we retired to her bed for the night at her place, I began to initiate sex but she said she wasn’t sure if she was ready to do that in her house with me yet, so I eased up to appease her wishes. Surprisingly enough though, after a little talking about casual stuff, we started kissing; which lead to making out; which in turn led to other stuff; and then we were christening her bed for the first time. This was good for us, but it set a level of intensity throughout the jungle that was her house, and the natives were restless. Initially, while this was happening, her cat sat at
