An anemic list, at best. George had a number of very good songs, not as many as John, and far fewer than Paul, but a fair number, considering he helped change music from the bathos of the early '60s, to the Rock 'n' Roll that replaced it, in the later 'Sixties, and in the 'Seventies. You skipped his best, completely (look at my Top Ten), and celebrated some lesser lights. Beware of Darkness is his best composition, post-Beatles, and the version on Concert for Bangla-Desh the best of all.

Number 1 pure plagiarism. Number 2 a cover.

Where's The Pirate Song?

This is great. It's just too bad you can't use Lennon's music.

What is the great song playing in the back ground in the beginning?

Inspiration for a deeper AP dive on Apple Music, thx! Agreed on your #2 pick being the best walk-on/intro music ever.

Love the insights, guys! When will we see the With The Beatles countdown?

There can never be too many Beatle lists, more please! Shout out to the best B-side, You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)! Zany brilliance.

Lots of love for Blow Away here, I’ll throw my hat in the ring as well. Best single of the yacht rock era!

Love the channel @7bestthings - looking forward to more Beatle lists. Watching The Wheels didn’t chart as high, but that was my entry point into Beatleworld all those years ago. Sentimental fave!

Your talking about Billy the imposter JPM is unfortunately dead

Nice list, great insights, love the focus on US chart performance. Venus And Mars / Rock Show is my fave song, but not that hideous single edit that Capitol pushed through!

I particularly love the first 2 Mc Cartneys solo albums and the Wing age. Silly love song is one of my favourite ever, together with Don't say goodnight tonight Starting from the Beatles break up till the end of the 80ties Paul was overcriticised. Many "experts" should apologize for that

Ebony and Ivory would be my #1 just based on the theme alone, but I was surprised to hear how popular it actually was! I would have also thought Band on the Run would have been higher on the list. Great video!

Let me preface by saying I am a huge Paul fan, growing up with The Beatles songs/albums playing in our house back in the 60s and 70s well after their breakup, and still adore so many of the early songs showcasing Paul's musical genius. But... it can also be said (or considered) that he really hasn't made a hit record since Pipes of Peace in 1983 (Say Say Say) and a lot of his material has gone the way of bland boring elevator muzac, sort of like Sting, Elton John, Rod Stewart tunes, just fuel for a morphine-like coma. Paul still tours and performs with great enthusiasm, and it probably doesn't hurt to be given "billionaire" status and now he can basically just show up and sell out any venue simply by running through a 60-minute back backlog of "Hey Jude" "Let It Be" etc. Fine, go ahead there mate, knock yourself out while you still can, but you have nothing left to prove to the music world. Meanwhile Ringo doesn't seem to be trying to prove anything, just happy to be alive and returning peace and love to the world, without the ego trip.

I'm surprised "Juniors Farm" didn't make the list. One of Paul's most rockin' songs.

Live and let die, here today, No more Lonely nights, My brave face, maybe I'm amazed, New, Little Willow...

Yes, definitely Maybe I'm Amazed but Bluebird, for sure!

With A Little Luck…..ugh.

I like "Take It Away"

Why stop at only 7 for McCartney???

his best stuff came when he formed the wings band.

Wings: Soily (One Hand Clapping) czcams.com/video/XprrZeOyos0/video.html 2014 Remaster czcams.com/video/7TusImBTzDo/video.html

For me 1/ Goodnight tonight 2/ Venus and Mars/Rock show/Jet live 3/ looking for changes but I’m not sure why Mull of Kintyre/Girls school isn’t on this list

Come on man, no Live and Let Die or Maybe I'm Amazed? How about Another Day? I get it, he sold some records with Michael Jackson but if I was compiling the list I wouldn't have included any of those since Michael Jackson's popularity had as much to do with their commercial success, probably more if we're being honest. As for the other songs, Silly Love Songs is syrupy, the kind of song John hated, but it had a great bass line. I bought Ram when I was a kid because Admiral Halsey was getting a lot of airplay but when I listened to it I discovered there was a lot more to like about that album. Too Many People, Heart of the Country, Monkberry Moon Delight, Back Seat of my Car. I really like Ram and consider it to be Paul's most underrated/unappreciated album. That said, Paul clearly had the most success as a solo artist. I just wish he would hang it up because he's starting to tarnish his legacy a bit by sticking around past his expiration date. He can't hit the notes like he once could and when he came to my area a couple years ago he wanted $250 for nosebleed seats. Needless to say he did not draw a big crowd, not by Paul's standards anyway. One thing I will always be grateful for is seeing the Wings Over America tour in 1976. That was Paul at the height of his power as a solo artist. He only played six Beatle songs that night but it was the most amazing concert I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot. The energy in that building that night was unlike anything I have experienced before or since. That is the Paul I want to remember and as I say, I am blessed that I got to see it. What a show!

I thought John Lennon was the one who criticized McCartney about 'silly love songs', and that is the reason why Paul wrote the song! The Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder 'get togethers' ruined McCartney (or it could be that he was getting desperate when it came to writing catchy music and lyrics to keep the hits rolling, and needed two very popular recording artists to help keep them coming). It did work, briefly. But then the hits dried up! "Mull of Kintyre" deserves recognition. It is a fantastic recording! True, it meant nothing to America (the program directors pushed the b-side, "Girls School"). Yet, as been said by others, it was on top of the UK charts for two months! It was a #1 elsewhere as well. But, seriously, the duos with Michael Jackson (sucked in my opinion), and the great, Stevie Wonder did not help him in retrospect! My favorite McCartney singles are, "With A Little Luck", "Take It Away", "Don't Say Goodnight, Tonight", "Coming Up", and "Let Em In", in that order.

Errr and the biggest single hit of all….Mull of Kintyre?….😂

"Little Woman Love" "Name & Address" "A Love for You" czcams.com/video/P1rKhWH5xJ4/video.html "Thank You Darling" czcams.com/video/Xs2ZoVwe40w/video.html

"We All Stand Together" used in Rupert the bear?

Paul only makes twee songs,you need to be tied in a chair by force to have to listen to them

I think beautiful boy is definitely his best one because you can hear the happiness and the love John has for Sean in that song

James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what!

Honestly I think Ebony and Ivory becomes overlooked in the world of racism and hatred and Paul said it the best people are the same wherever you go there's good and bad in everyone

Almost whole songs of Paul McCartney are my fav.

George Harrison is the best

Hey Bulldog not a hit but great

No it's when I first heard the Beatles oh yeah yeah yeah

Hey, don't forget 'Bluebird '!

# one in all genres , Mr Paul McCartney.

Mull Of Kintyre was Number 1 in: Austria. Belgium. Ireland. Netherlands. Switzerland. UK.West Germany.Australia. New Zealand and South Africa. It was Number 2 in Norway. Just because it was not Number 1 in the US does not mean it was not a hit

Another Day is sweet and Smile away is a blast.

And ... According to Billboard MJ biggest hit is on Pipes of Piece. SW biggest hit is on Tug of War... Beatles biggest hit is ... Hey Jude.

THE BAND ON THE RUN SINGLE WENT # 1 ON SATURDAY JUNE 8TH AND 1974.

McCartney has better songs than these. In fact he was pretty much despised when these crappy songs were all released. Certainly not White Album or Abby Road quality

Mull of Kintyre spent 9 weeks on top of the charts in 1978 and still is UK's best-selling single of all-time

Great video!Wings should be in the RHOF

Maybe I'm amazed?

My top two are No Words “You want to give your love away end up giving nothing I’m not surprised that your black eyes are gazing You say that love is everything and what we need the most of I wish you knew that’s just how true my love was” Arrow Through Me “Ooh Baby you wouldn’t have found a more down hero If you had started at nothin and counted to zero

Thank you for expression of appreciation for Ebony and Ivory. For decades it has been derided by hipsters (fringe dwellers who wish to think themselves avant-garde masters of good taste). I feel those who have grown to disparage this song forget that even though the message is simple that is what Paul is saying. 'It should be simple' which really is no different than Give Peace a Chance. Not every song has to have an academic message worthy of a Shakesperean poet. Musically the melody is stunning and the vocals of both artists sounding so beautiful together with both clarity and sincerity. Maybe today's modern world can no longer love songs of optimism, but I hope that is not the case.

Mull of kintyre...?😮
