    Most people seem to prefer John Lennon's post Beatles solo but I think my edge goes to McCartney. Of course, he's had a much longer career and may never be able to reach Lennon's legendary status (those that die young have that added aura).

    While I know many of McCartney's post Beatles songs, I don't know his best albums, era, etc.

    While it would never happen, I'd love to see a collaboration between Paul/Ringo and Page/John Paul Jones (and Plant if he surprisingly wanted to do it.)

    McCartney has outlived Lennon by 33 years and has made 22 studio albums and another 20 compilations, soundtracks, and oddball stuff.

    The best ones are . . .

    Band on the Run
    London Town

    Thanks, I recognize about half of the songs and will check out the other half when I get a chance. I still haven't made it all the way through the good suggestions from the Louisiana music thread a couple of months ago. I have some catching up to do.

    Busted. Juniors Farm belongs on the playlist. McCartney did a ton of singles that never appeared on albums. He also recorded under pseudonyms like Percy Thrillington and The Fireman.

    Great list red.

    He has had a tremendous solo career.
