i love "She's My Baby," "mopping her up" and all. That's a real pop-into-my-head-at-the-grocery-store tune.

On paper the idea of a slide solo bores me
you have never listened to classic country i take it?
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 20 May 2018 14:48 (five years ago) link
No, I never listen to any country music.

I am so loving BN's deep Wings dive, and that it keeps paying out dividends.

Back to the Egg in general has become a huge favourite of mine, and it sucks that there weren't more albums with that line-up.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 20 May 2018 15:37 (five years ago) link
I've always kind of liked this Ringo song. Roger Manning and Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish are on it. He covers a Posies track on the same album.

^^ by far his most listenable album after 1974.

Giving Wings at the Speed of Sound another listen today... definitely one of the patchier Wings albums for a couple of reasons (side two can fuck off entirely apart from 'Silly Love Songs' and 'Warm and Beautiful') but I forgot how much I love 'The Note You Never Wrote' ...
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 20 May 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
I wish there was a 12" instrumental of Paul McCartney's 'Temporary Secretary'

Non-Macca Speed of Sound jam "Wino Junko" is one of my favorite dumb Wings songs.

4 ballots in already! Off to a good start
― Οὖτις, Monday, 21 May 2018 16:51 (five years ago) link
against my better judgment i'm making one
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 21 May 2018 16:52 (five years ago) link
just curious, did the ballots make it to 100?
i'd like to list 100 songs, but i want to genuinely like every song on my list, and i'm not sure that's possible
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Monday, 21 May 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link
100 song ballot really useful for when i inevitably put every non-apple jam all things must pass song on my ballot
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 21 May 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link
I have 2 100 song ballots so far
― Οὖτις, Monday, 21 May 2018 17:01 (five years ago) link
That was me – I listed "Blow Away" 99 times.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 21 May 2018 17:08 (five years ago) link
correction - one of those ballots was actually only 99 tracks cuz voter voted for one song twice
― Οὖτις, Monday, 21 May 2018 17:33 (five years ago) link
nice try, voter ;)

"jealous guy" is a very good song

side two of imagine is really well balanced, feels like a tour through lennon's best modes

that song is amazing
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 21 May 2018 19:28 (five years ago) link
i'll be voting for it and "death of samantha" and prob several other approximately infinite universe songs

I'm up to 40 songs on my ballot of stuff I unreservedly love.
next I guess I'll add some Paul songs
i absolutely adore the "Give Peace a Chance" b-side "Remember Love". this should have been on the White Album.

"remember love" is awesome

'Don't Worry Kyoko' is fucking awesome.

Think I'm gonna give Flowers in the Dirt another listen...
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 21 May 2018 20:13 (five years ago) link
never a bad idea. "my brave face" and "put it there" are locks for my ballot, and maybe "we got married," "this one," "that day is done," and one of the bonus tracks. if it was an all-macca poll, two of the bonus tracks. great material in that period. we've just recently had it out over the production so need to really rehash but i, personally, wish all those songs had gotten a more "rootsy"/"natural" sound - if nothing else i think they'd be much better-known and better-liked. OTOH i like that he wasn't content to say "okay, i'm forty, it's time to settle down and just make classic 'beatle sound' albums with george martin from now on."but i also feel like mccartney himself hasn't ever really owned how good these songs are. he seems really content in interviews and clips to talk about the stuff where there was clearly a positive critical/commercial consensus, "oh yeah, i thought, a band on the run, hmm, now THAT's interesting..." and rarely comes out and says "man i'm really proud of 'flowers,' i wrote some great songs for that, "this one" came to me like a flash of lightning at 3 AM and i hope people getting into my music check that one out" or whatever. he has anecdotes for the famous songs and he never talks about this album or 'back to the egg' or whatever. whereas someone like john or george i think had no problem hyping up whatever they thought was really good (and, often unfairly, slagging off stuff they were momentarily down on).

I have deeeeeep affection for Flowers. "We Got Married," "My Brave Face, "This One" will make my ballot.

Yeah, I've often found it a bit disappointing that whenever McCartney is interviewed, it usually ends up going over the same old ground - his post-Beatles career spans over 40 years and I really wish he'd talk about that stuff more.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 21 May 2018 21:13 (five years ago) link
maybe he just doesn't remember at this point
― Οὖτις, Monday, 21 May 2018 21:14 (five years ago) link
like, people want to talk about something he spent an afternoon on high out of gourd 30 years ago? sounds like that would take more effort than re-hashing practiced responses he's been trotting out on a daily basis in intervening period.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 21 May 2018 21:15 (five years ago) link
I doubt that. It was cool to see his responses to things like Ram becoming more popular in recent years.
― timellison, Monday, 21 May 2018 21:24 (five years ago) link
i had never heard it before but uh i guess surprising no one here i kinda love the ultimate soft rock hits collection that is george harrison's self-titled record
