I guess I'm not surprised that Ram didn't do well with critics. It's really it's own weird universe, and I'm sure wasn't what people were wanting / expecting to hear. However, to me it's the best album any of them put out after the breakup. It's just magical. Monkberry Moon Delight is probably my favorite track, so profoundly weird, yet joyous and just awesome. Only McCartney could have written and performed that. Great record.
Ram is not better then Plastic Ono Band, or Band On The Run...I think because it was unfairly treated upon release, the pendulum of reception has swung the other way where it's being treated as some great perfect album. I think it's also popular because so many people thrive on feeling like they're contrarians. When in reality, Ram has been widely respected since the 1990s, and its contrarian these days to NOT think its a masterpiece, Its a good album, better then McCartney 1, sure, better then Some Time In New York, sure, but better then Imagine, Plastic Ono Band, All Things Must Pass, I don't think so.
Easily the best album for me and wish he ignored the critics and carried on doing his eccentric only McCartney can do music. To me it's genius. Lennons only good album was plastic Ono band and that's mainly coz it's so raw and nothing like that had been done and all things must pass is obviously liked but I can't stand it, can't stand Georges voice and the production is horrible.
@@CartersRemasters Well, it’s subjective isn’t it? Those are all great records that you say are better, but there’s something charming about ram and the melodies, the harmonies, the sonic delight. I don’t think it’s an overcorrection. I think it is his masterpiece.
The ending was fantastic and so emotional I cried so sad that John had finally found peace and harmony which showed through his music and he was tragically murdered.
I agree. As far as I'm aware, it's the only group where every member released more than one hit in their solo careers. As well, they released great albums
The early McCartney albums, McCartney and Ram, need a disclaimer. In the United States.Rolling Stone Magazine, was the standard bearer in rock journalism. Jan Werner, the head of the magazine, had a relationship with John. Werner put the stop to positive reviews of McCartney work. On the McCartney review he had the critic re-write his review and to “not” like it. Other magazines would follow Rolling Stones lead.
it's mostly because of the fact that john, under the influence of klein, did a ton of interviews at the time bashing paul and his time in the beatles, and paul remained relatively silent throughout it all. Also, Jan wenner, the co-founder of rolling stone magazine and huge influence on most rock journalism at the time, had a huge hard-on for paul and solely blamed him for the breakup of the beatles, so led the narrative that paul was the 'pop fluff' songwriter and that john was the 'true artist', and that influenced many journalists to lean negatively towards paul and favour the other three in attempts to gain favour with what was fast becoming the number one rock press source at the time. I'm sure allen klein factors in there somewhere, but I've not come across any concrete statements towards that opinion.

McCartney 3 is ass. honestly anything after 1983 McCartney wise is so fucking bad. and George had a single good album. all things must pass. as for John. every album is amazing. fucking tragedy he's gone. they belonged together. and they would've reunited.
It's amazing going through the music released It's not surprising the one who worked the hardest of the 4 made as much music as he did. Absolutely love the music he co-wrote with Ringo. It was something that connected my sister to myself before she passed away. Her goddamned husband didn't deserve her.
Everybody has there Favorite Beatle. Comparing who's Better ? PAUL having 50 yrs Solo. John only 6 . George 20 yrs plus. Ringo is still going. I enjoy some of there Solo Work. My Top 10. 1. John Lennon POB. 2. George Harrison ATMP. 3. Paul McCartney RAM 4. John Lennon Imagine. 5. John Lennon WALLS and Bridges 6. Paul McCartney Band on the RUN. 7. George Harrison Living in the Material World. 8. Ringo Starr Ringo 9 Paul McCartney Flamimg Pie 10. George Harrison Brain Washed.
Good stuff, well worth a watch. When I think of the big, the huge hit songs of the 70s I don’t think of any by the ex Beatles apart from Imagine. They were massive in the 60s when together but as individuals they were just average and sometimes not even that.
What makes an impression on each of us as a "huge hit song" is subjective, but the fact is that by any measure Harrison's My Sweet Lord was one of the biggest hits of the decade, topping all UK sales in 1971, hitting #1 all over the world and winning multiple indusrtry awards for Single of the Year and the Ivor Novello for "Most Performed Work of the Year". Meanwhile, McCartney and Wings were in the very top tier of pop/rock acts of the 70s globally. In terms of #1 Billboard single success Wings were only just a whisker below the two all-conquering new-generation mega-acts of Elton John and the BeeGees, earning 5 Billboard #1s (Elton had 6) plus the biggest selling non-charity single of all time in the UK in 1978. Not so average, i think.
I prefer the Beatles as solo artists more than together. It really shows their individual merits. I think its easy to only love the glamor persona of them as a collective.
Interesting thing is that John and Paul looked each other`s work a lot. The overly simple "McCartney" clearly inspired the sparse production of "JL & POB", "Ram" clearly inspired the more corny production of "Imagine". "Wild Life" was somewhat Paul`s answer to "JL and POB", even more radical.
😊❤ love these songs 😍 macortney and Beatles George Harrison and Paul McCartney love you Ringo much love 😚😘❤️ hahaha Jeni pugh love you 🤟 guys ❤️ Paul best friends celebrate 🥂❤.
Paul’s post Beatles output copped unnecessary critical response, most were a lot better than given credit for, don’t know why they gave him such a rough run.
They should have been cordial enough to each other to add vocal harmonies to certain solo tracks. No instruments and no arrangement suggestions -:much of the magic was the perfect harmonies.
most music journalists, specially rolling stone magazine ones, hated Paul's post-beatles records. he was held responsible for breaking up the beatles... today these albums are seen as works of art (mccartney I and ram sure are).
Interesting little fact, the song 'Too Many People' starts with an extra message to John which Paul later admitted. When opening the song he actually sings 'P*ss Off' instead of 'Piece of'
@@filmretrospective5334 I'm to the point where if critics dislike something, I'm more inclined to go see it or listen to it! They just don't think like normal people. 😂
It's an old idea and many years ago done by a journalist here in the Netherlands. But feel free to copy it, because lots of solo albums were released since.
You guys should take a look at the work from Tragiclifeform / Alternate Universe Albums 347. He has done some cool concepts for albums that they released in an alternate timeline, and they consist of their solo work (and it's all still ongoing). As well, he has made additions to some songs, which makes them even better than they were before
I love Beatles music and they had a great chemistry but with the amount of fame and admiration they all received it was bound to creep in to their egos causing some problems that in the past might have been a minor thing now was something to blow up in their face. Ive never been famous but ive been in a family and had to deal with one. Its sad that family members can give you the most love but also be the ones to treat you the worst or vice versa.
@@filmretrospective5334 - well done FR - I'm 63 so I was a teenager in the 70s - my earliest Beatle memory was seeing Help in a Drive In Theatre in 1965 at a very tender age
John was acting very immature after the breakup and none of the bigwig critics called him on it. "How Do You Sleep" was penned in the aftermath of Paul McCartney's successful suit in the London High Court to dissolve the Beatles as a legal partnership. Didn't John want the breakup also? Maybe he did and the legal partnership is a separate question that the musical partnership, I don't know. However, I also think Paul employed his own immature antics. So it becomes the old "who STARTED it FIRST?" debate. ("Double redundancy" on purpose.) They both did. I think I blame John more for the breakup, which was possibly inevitable anyway, because John just forced the band to accept Yoko as a fifth Beatle. There are MANY who can be described as a "fifth Beatle" but she was definitely one at that point. He wanted her to have full say in musical and other decisions! And the studio atmosphere was radically changed just by her presence. The other three have all said so.
These days all Paul's early albums get more critical respect. In the early 70s critics wanted what they thought of as relevant political and spiritual messages. Today critics tend to look at the entertainment value, and Paul's unfailing melodic sense and arrangement ability gets a lot more respect. Meanwhile some of John's political and even personal themes are viewed less favorably than at the time. At some point the pendulum will swing the other way.
When you write timeless songs like John did vs songs with no meaning at all like Paul did, the pendulum never fully swings no matter how much history revisionism Paul does
Youre wrong. Todays critics are too obsessed with political messaging not unlike back in the 1970s. Also, Lennon was more an angry edgelord whom whored out and did even more drugs than when he was with the Beatles.
Ginger Baker never gets any credit for bringing Paul and wings to fucking Lagos. You could even see in the footage that he’s sitting right next to Paul.
1 All things must pass 2 Plastic Ono Band 3 Band on the Run 4 Imagine 5 Ram 6 Living in the material world 7 Ringo 8 Venus and Mars 9 Walls and Bridges 10 George Harrison
Proof that everyone has their sell-by date. Brilliant together, but separate? And if they'd stayed together, they would've disappointed us. Band on the Run album was a bright star, as was Lennon's first two solo albums, and All Things Must Pass has its moments. But apart from that, I would say mediocre at best, though, the two singles from The Anthology were great and I have to say Now and Then did it for me. Just my opinion.
This is very informative but mention should be made on the influence the fabulous Rutles had on the Beatles. Without Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry-the fabulous Rutles, there probably wouldnt have been the Beatles. We owe them so much. Check out the Rutles, straight away you'll see where the Beatles got their sound and style from. Just setting the record straight, so to speak.
John was very good, George was very good, even Ringo was better than Billy. Faul (Billy)'s solo career was a disaster. The real James Paul McCartney (1942-1966) was a genius. He was at least at the same level with John Lennon.
Ridiculous theory for many reasons...not least of which is that minus Yesterday and a couple of others, Paul's best work with the Beatles was from Revolver (late '66) on.
Ese escazo de cerebro siempre aparece con comentarios negativos Un musico frustrado sin ton ni son No has hecho nada en tu vida Tu envidia frustracion es taaan inmensa que no puedes ni con tu propia vida Pobrecillo de voz lo siento por vos y tus inseguridades frustrante Bendiciones
Such a disaster that it was easily the most successful of the 3. 4 number 1 tracks from 1970-1975, compared to George's 2 and John's 1, and 4 number 1 albums compared to John's 1 and George's 2. And that's just the years when John was active. He continued to drag George's nuts across his face after.
The nonsense about Paul dying in 1966 comes from the speculation as to why they stopped touring and performing live. Its very well documented why they stopped. Beatlemania was becoming tiresome for them and they wanted to focus on songwriting/the studio. Another issue is that the Beatles were aware of the Paul is Dead rumours, and they were amused by it so they started dropping references and teasing people. The ‘clues’ are them winding you up! Billy Faul honestly... And so many of McCartney’s memorable and best Beatles songs are post-66. Hey Jude, Lady Madonna, Back in the USSR, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Let It Be, the suite on Abbey Road....to name a few...
Don’t waste your time. Seems to enjoy negatives and no positives. Well with the exception of John. He’s a huge John fan. And you can’t be biased or at least I wouldn’t think so if you’re trying to betray their solo careers. No mention to wipe Paul was getting those poor reviews. Most fans no that bit of history. Anyway, if you’re a true Beatles fan, I wouldn’t suggest listening to this.
I presented the facts. It's really you just focusing on the negatives. Says more about you really. You got the last part wrong too. My favorite Beatle is George.
man, music critics are such no-talent, hypocritical hacks....same people who are now gushing over taylor swift and beyonce and whatever mumbling "rapper" slurring his words over some lame cookie cutter beats
1976 Wings Over America. A REAL triple album. The 3rd LP of All Pigs Must Pass is crap and a fraud, just like his author. Paul was by far the best musician of them all.
so sad your record got not so good reviews he questioned his religion and went to go drink and sulk in his mansion. what a joke, these guys were so out of touch with reality and real problems

my wife and I love Ram and we sang 'Monkberry moon delight' at a karaoke bar and had a blast. Noone there had a clue what we were singing :)
All of the Beatles had a very successful solo careers
The ending was fantastic and so emotional I cried so sad that John had finally found peace and harmony which showed through his music and he was tragically murdered.
It's hard to pick a best solo Beatle. They were all so talented and good
John's solo work all day long for me.
The Beatles are the only band group that after their breakup had successful solo career
I agree. As far as I'm aware, it's the only group where every member released more than one hit in their solo careers. As well, they released great albums
Members of the Eagles did pretty well.

The solo beatle years are so under-rated
Ram is definitely my favourite solo Beatles album, crazy to think it was disliked when it came out.
Most art that is later considered 'classic' is initially poorly received. The lesson is never to trust critics.
"Ram" is great!!!

“Ram” isn’t any better now than it was then.
Ram is great but it doesn’t really mean anything. Fun album to listen to, not better than Plastic Ono Band
George had the best selling album as a solo Beatle
Yes with 40+ musicians on a solo album!
RAM is my favourite solo Beatles album it’s so good
They all had success and highs and lows .I think these guys had balls to move on.
“Plastic Ono Band” is the greatest solo Beatles album. All Things Must Pass, Imagine and Band on the Run/Ram come next
Plastic Ono Band those days was 50% of The Beatles too.
Great video. Good job. Lennons comments on Paul and Ringo’s first albums is hilarious haha. Talk about speaking your mind. Love them all

Hey, @filmretrospective5334: Love your sneering, Johnny Rottenesque voiceover. You from Holloway, too? Great work, as ever!
I think he sounds more like Joe Strummer
George's song writing being undermined by John & Paul made him work harder. George's songs had more honesty and sincerity then his peers.
I agree with the first sentence but John was painfully honest.
But the the production of his albums are usually corny and lame.
They should have been cordial enough to each other to add vocal harmonies to certain solo tracks. No instruments and no arrangement suggestions -:much of the magic was the perfect harmonies.

Ese escazo de cerebro siempre aparece con comentarios negativos Un musico frustrado sin ton ni son No has hecho nada en tu vida Tu envidia frustracion es taaan inmensa que no puedes ni con tu propia vida Pobrecillo de voz lo siento por vos y tus inseguridades frustrante Bendiciones
Such a disaster that it was easily the most successful of the 3.
4 number 1 tracks from 1970-1975, compared to George's 2 and John's 1, and 4 number 1 albums compared to John's 1 and George's 2.
And that's just the years when John was active. He continued to drag George's nuts across his face after.
The nonsense about Paul dying in 1966 comes from the speculation as to why they stopped touring and performing live.
Its very well documented why they stopped. Beatlemania was becoming tiresome for them and they wanted to focus on songwriting/the studio.
Another issue is that the Beatles were aware of the Paul is Dead rumours, and they were amused by it so they started dropping references and teasing people. The ‘clues’ are them winding you up! Billy Faul honestly...
And so many of McCartney’s memorable and best Beatles songs are post-66. Hey Jude, Lady Madonna, Back in the USSR, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Let It Be, the suite on Abbey Road....to name a few...
1. Ram - Paul
2. Ono Band - John
3. Band on the Run - Paul
4. ATMP - George
5. Imagine - John

4 identity crises. Big fall hard.

McCartney and Band on Run were great. So were Lennon s Plastic Ono and Harrison s All Things.
All Things Must Pass is definitely the greatest Beatles solo album.
Has aged badly.
Don’t waste your time. Seems to enjoy negatives and no positives. Well with the exception of John. He’s a huge John fan. And you can’t be biased or at least I wouldn’t think so if you’re trying to betray their solo careers. No mention to wipe Paul was getting those poor reviews. Most fans no that bit of history. Anyway, if you’re a true Beatles fan, I wouldn’t suggest listening to this.
I presented the facts. It's really you just focusing on the negatives. Says more about you really. You got the last part wrong too. My favorite Beatle is George.
Meh! What do critics know? Ram was genius!!
Phil Specter may have had moments of brilliance but was mostly marred by his own delusions of grandeur ...
Critics ...
They can't make music themselves.
😥 Promo*SM
Thanks for the comment
man, music critics are such no-talent, hypocritical hacks....same people who are now gushing over taylor swift and beyonce and whatever mumbling "rapper" slurring his words over some lame cookie cutter beats
1976 Wings Over America.
A REAL triple album. The 3rd LP of All Pigs Must Pass is crap and a fraud, just like his author.
Paul was by far the best musician of them all.
so sad your record got not so good reviews he questioned his religion and went to go drink and sulk in his mansion. what a joke, these guys were so out of touch with reality and real problems
Wings "BOR" is massively overrated. It sounds so lame and amateurish, also tasteless.
thanks for watching
Can you do a better album then? Lol
It’s still Paul’s best album to this day
