Seems a fair appraisal as far as I'm concerned Del although I think "Ram" & "Red Rose Speedway" are up there with his best. The first 5 tracks from "Ram" are fantastic and include his first US number 1 since The Beatles. I am a huge John Lennon fan but I would disagree about the albums, he had a few good singles including "Imagine", "Instant Karma", "Power To The People", "Merry Christmas, War Is Over" but his albums in the 70's I thought were poor overall and perhaps a little self indulgent with their political overtones. Interesting Steve. Would you go Band On The Run for the best 70s album? How about the 80s? Double fantasy isn't a great album although it was great to see John Back before tragedy struck I remember my dad bought it and was constantly playing it. Always liked his track Maybe I’m Amazed. Its a fantastic single. Unfortunately the only thing i like on McCartney. I think I prefer "Ram" out of all McCartney's albums of the 70's. I think it's close between "McCartney II", "Pipes Of Peace" and "Press To Play" for the 80s but I'll go for "McCartney II" for the sheer diversity of it.

Just heard this in a film so had to go find it on Ytubby.
It is one of those songs that I feel disappointed when it has finished.

Stumbled on this cover of The Temptations Get Ready by Rare Earth. Its pretty good IMO and you just got to admire the drums and singing of Peter Hoorelbeke.
