McCartney is 80
« on: June 17, 2022, 08:38:35 AM »
Well, tomorrow he is 80. This is a rundown of his top 30 songs according to one pundit:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/16/paul-mccartneys-greatest-post-beatles-songs-ranked?

Can't argue too much especially as they concur with me on the number one spot, but I don't see how they can't have the musical gem that is "Silly Love Songs" on the list. For that matter where is the splendid "Picasso's Last Words". I could probably go on for quite a while listing the injustices of omission by this list.

Great reactions on their faces :)

Indeed, a great track.
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now
