1. Ram
2. Wild Life
3. McCartney
4. "Single Pigeon"
5. "Big Barn Bed"
6. "Magneto and Titanium Man"
7. "You Gave Me the Answer"
8. "London Town"
9. Side one of Back to the Egg
10. "Coming Up"
11. "Temporary Secretary"
12. "Check My Machine" (b-side of "Waterfalls")
13. "Be What You See"
14. "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
15. A bunch of great songs on Driving Rain to which a lot of people didn't pay any attention (compressed these into one entry because they'd take up a lot of the list
16. "I Love This House" (on "Young Boy" CD-single)
17. Liverpool Sound Collage

Got to check the records to see what else. Records I haven't heard and which I might imagine could easily be on this list: the Thrillington album, "Secret Friend" (ten-minute-or-so long track that was on the b-side of the "Temporary Secretary" 12-inch), the second Fireman CD, the classical CDs (Liverpool Oratorio, Standing Stone, and that other one--can't remember the name). I've also never heard the Flowers in the Dirt or Off the Ground albums, so I don't know if there are great, unheralded songs on those.

Holy crap! 75? Tall order, man. This list is going to be hard.
Of course, you've already cocked it all up.

20. "Let Me Roll It" is pretty good
21. "Jet"

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

(But maybe they are heralded?)

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember the last time that they were actually heralded, Rockist, But I think they may, in fact, be heralded.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually like "C Moon". Nobody ever heralds that one.

I'm pretty sure "Junior's Farm" is heralded, but I'll mention it anyway.

However, "Helen Wheels" and "Listen to What the Man Said" I have no idea about.

Broheems (diamond), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the Christmas song too. Nobody EVER heralds that one.

Broheems (diamond), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

de la soul heralded it on 'BIONIX' !!

piscesboy, Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Man people so badly want solo McCartney to be good.
Infact i'd say even most of the cynics have a disillusioned dusty place in their heart for Macca.
Why did he let us down so badly? Most of his Beatles work is so great, but with hindsight some of it acquires a suspicious tweeness it doesn't deserve. Take 'Martha my Dear'. This is the kind of fluffy lightwieght shite he'd bang out for the next ten odd years, but in the context of the White Album it's strange, compelling, curious, cynical easy listening. It palls eventually, but we can appreciate its delicious melodic joys because its next to masterpeices like 'Blackbird', 'Mother Nature's Son', and fucked up shit like 'Birthday' and 'Back in the USSR'. Granted his other offerings here are garish doodles mostly, but my point is the world keeps harping on about the Beatles because that McCartney magic pretty much was never in evidence again, or he only used his powers for evil eg 'Frog Chorus', 'Mull of Kyntire'. I know I'm going to draw down the wrath of the McCartnyistas here, even if what I'm saying is profoundly unoriginal, rockist even, but the guy is a kind of genius and Tim's list up there is really depressing.
I really want to like Paul's solo/Wings work. God knows I've tried.
I think most of it's unredeemable. I guess I have to fuck off now.

de, Monday, 12 April 2004 00:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean 'Coming Up' for Christ's sake! If this was done by any other major player in the music world it'd be regarded as an all time low! 'C-Moon'?! McCartney's 'D'Yer Maker? Oh no.
'Listen to what the Manm Said'? 'Let 'Em In'? Oh good God.
And this is his *good* stuff.

de, Monday, 12 April 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Whatever, "Let Me Roll It" is awesome. As is "Magneto." But ain't nothing "great" on Flowers In the Dirt.

22. Summer's Day Song
23. However Absurd
24. I'm Carrying

Tim, the 2nd Fireman CD is actually good?

Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Monday, 12 April 2004 01:50 (twenty-one years ago)

OK--REVISION! I will accept unheralded songs from McCartney, Ram, Wild Life, Back to the Egg, and Driving Rain, but then the list much reach 80!

I'm going to count "C Moon" and "Junior's Farm," though both have appeared on best of comps, and "Wonderful Christmastime." So...

28. Get on the Right Thing
29. Love in Song
30. Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People
31. San Ferry Anne
32. Cafe on the Left Bank
33. Backwards Traveller/Cuff Link
34. Famous Groupies
35. Morse Moose and the Grey Goose
36. Don't Let It Bring You Down
37. Somebody Who Cares
38. The Pound Is Sinking
39. Keep under Cover
40. Goodnight Tonight (I know it was a hit, but kind of a forgotten song, no? A pretty good disco song, I would say!)

BE THE HERALD!

In any case, I hope some will be inspired to hear these songs again (or for the first time!)--I think there's some great stuff on this list.

Just listened to "Magneto and Titanium Man"--man, it sounded good.

Naive Teen Idol, good to see a Press to Play song on there! And I've heard that the second Fireman album is really good!

Tim Ellison, Monday, 12 April 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

20. "Let Me Roll It" is pretty good
21. "Jet"
-- Rockist Scientist
(But maybe they are heralded?)
-- Rockist Scientist

--scott seward

i think "jet" is very, very heralded.

but i'll add:

41. "venus and mars"/"rock show"

because while "rock show" has got its share of heralding, the full-on medley of the two never ever gets its due!

fact checking cuz (fcc), Monday, 12 April 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The second Fireman CD I like a lot...it's my current waking up music in the morning.

I never made it past the third track for a while, until I put it on when I was stoned whereupon it sounded brilliant and something clicked permanently into place.

Bob Six (bobbysix), Monday, 12 April 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Whole album sides, pfft. Some of this stuff requires individual recognition.

The second Fireman album [Rushes] is excellent. Poops all over the first, and is a genuinely rich experience in its own right.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Er, let's pretend that I numbered the tracks 47-62.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

And, with the realisation that I forgot Red Rose Speedway, let me add:

63. Little Lamb Dragonfly
64. Single Pigeon

I forgot Tug of War too. Oh, wait, no I didn't, because it's a pants record.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...
Really excellent lenghty interview with Macca in this month's Uncut.
No I mean it, it really is very good. Interesting for what he says about sociological origins of the Beatles (avoiding national service + work) and the incipient changes in British society at that time, as well as his matured feelings about Wings, John etc. Some new info too: it seems he was snorting coke in 1966/1967. Explains most of "Pepper" then..

de, Friday, 4 June 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

if you read mccartney's autobiography, there's all the stuff about his drug use (including sgt. pepper's era coke). he said at some point he realized he was addicted and decided it was time to quit.

MerkinMuffley (MerkinMuffley), Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Surely "Maybe I'm Amazed" is great. "Junk" seconded. "Momma Miss America" is pretty cool too.

M Specktor, Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

11 songs to go here, by the way. I'll get it revved up:

65. Tommorow
66. Heather

Tim Ellison, Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Which Heather? Hasn't he done two songs called Heather?

And when's the new album coming out? Bloody hell.

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

The one on Driving Rain. Was there another one???

Tim Ellison, Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure there's one he did before he met this Heather, but I can't find it anywhere now. Sigh.

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 5 June 2004 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

67."Daytime Nighttime Suffering". B-side to "Goodnight Tonight", got as much (if not more) airplay as the A-side, and I preferred it to the A. Haven't heard it it 20 yrs tho.

Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Saturday, 5 June 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Bought the purple double CD Wings comp. - only song I really wanted to keep it for was Mull of Kintyre.

Was Fireman the moniker he used for the later ambient electronica sort of stuff? I've been trying to remember what name he did that stuff under...this was like mid-90's?

Bimble (bimble), Saturday, 5 June 2004 06:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep, Fireman. The first album was the same crap song remixed eight times, and the second [Rushes] was brilliant.

I burnt every copy of Mull of Kintyre I could find. God I hate that... er, 'song.'

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 5 June 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

So many great songs mentioned, folks... :) But I see not these:

68. Listen To The What The Man Said (simply wonderful pop of its time, and like "Silly Love Songs" - which Kozelek covered - I can see the scope for more plaintive interpretation)
69. Frozen Jap
70. Front Parlour (these two are electronic instrumentals from the *wonderful* "McCartney II", which perfectly fit in with "Summer's Day Song" and others...)
71. Golden Earth Girl (finest one on "Off The Ground"; very beguiling melody)
72. Bluebird
73. Wanderlust (these two are pure magic)
74. Put It There (probably my favourite on FITD; deft songwriting... and unencumbered by the album's v. poor production... something like "Figure of Eight" I kind of like - those Trevor Horn handclaps - but it doesn't feel like vintage Macca really)

Whoever cited "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae" is some sort of mentalist. ;) Though I do myself like "We All Stand Together". I'm tempted to add "Once Upon a Long Ago", which has that sublime Beach Boys-type harmony section and wonderfully absurd lyrics.

"McCartney II" might just be my personal favourite McCartney album, though "Band on the Run" cannot be disavowed. "Venus and Mars", "Ram" and "Tug of War" probably make up, with these, his finest five records post-Beatles.

Uncut interview sounds great; I'll have to get a copy... Sounds like the sort of thing which would tally with Robin Carmody's mentions of McCartney in his writing.

Tom May (Tom May), Saturday, 5 June 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

And I will add:

69. Spin It On
70. Long Haired Lady
71. Some People Never Know

Four to go. Can you imagine what a great box set this would make?

Tim Ellison, Saturday, 5 June 2004 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and...

72. Riding into Jaipur

Tim Ellison, Saturday, 5 June 2004 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

73. Mrs. Vandebilt!!! Hey-o!

Joseph McCombs, Saturday, 5 June 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Is "Waterfalls" unheralded? Depends on who you ask I guess; but it's missing from this presumptive set, so it could be added...

Tom May (Tom May), Saturday, 5 June 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes! Unheralded, I say! One more to go. Anyone heard "Secret Friend," the b-side of the "Tempory Secretary" 12-inch, and want to vote for it??? (I've never heard it.)

Tim Ellison, Saturday, 5 June 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god yes.

75. Secret Friend

It goes on and on and on.

So we buy this box set through Amazon then? :)

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 5 June 2004 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

76. "Take It Away" - the chorus is amazing.

mike a, Sunday, 6 June 2004 02:02 (twenty-one years ago)

77. "My Brave Face." Shockingly overproduced, but it merits listening if only for the lyrical content of the verses, which while somewhat less evocative than the classic "For No One," still make for an interesting middle-aged man's view of losing a partner; and the beautiful chord changes and melody under the pre-chorus ("ever since you went away I've had this sentimental inclination not to change a single thing").

phil dennison, Sunday, 6 June 2004 02:10 (twenty-one years ago)

"Take It Away"; dear me yes...! Though I actually prefer the minor-key verses - "Lowwwnely driiiiver! Aht on th' road... with a hundred miles to gowwww" - and Marcello was bang on to mention that sublime long outro part, with the brass piling up into an ecstatic swelling of feeling.

I know what mean Phil about MBF; it's a decent enough song - if a bit contrived - but ruined by the clattering, lightweight clutter of the production. You're bang OTM about those exquisite underpinning Macca "Distractions", off the same record is possibly a little better (very coffee table McCartney, just about in a good way), and not as production-hampered.

This is a fine box set, must say fellers (though someone stick "We All Stand Together" in for "Rudolph"; it's far better! If both are to be in, sequence them next to "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and "Single Pigeon" as something of a pleasant child-friendly run :)); makes ever more of a case for how sorely under-exposed and too easily dismissed his post-Beatles work is. There are some disasters in his career from 1970 on, but not so many from 1970-82 in particular; overall, there's simply *more good stuff* than anyone imagines, or than any other Beatle managed, IMO.

BTW; everyone do check out the Macca interview in "Uncut", it's very good; a lot of candour and many interesting little nuggets.

Tom May (Tom May), Sunday, 6 June 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I thought it was going to be about Beatles' songs *without McCartney*.

If it was that, the obvious choice (even though it never got released) would have to be 'Paul's A Cunt'

Sasha (sgh), Monday, 7 June 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

"This is a fine box set, must say fellers"

I agree. It's a beautiful thing.

Tim Ellison, Monday, 7 June 2004 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Single Pigeon is listed twice, at #1 and #58 on the last list, btw.

Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 7 June 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

seems like no-one mentioned "Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey". someone should have done.

robin carmody (robin carmody), Thursday, 10 June 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

incidentally, re. the sociological element - the most unexpected Beatles fan i've ever come across is a young-fogey deliberately out-of-time romantic Tory who echoes Auberon Waugh's loathing of the cultural proletarianisation of the middle classes. seemingly he gives the Beatles a pass because they were long enough ago, the usual way conservatives square their circles ...

robin carmody (robin carmody), Thursday, 10 June 2004 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

What? No mention or "How Many People", "This One", "Ballroom Dancing" "C'mon People" nor "Only Love Remains"?

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

only know "C'mon People" out of those songs, Geir, and then only from a single hearing 11 years ago. as i recall it sounded utterly dislikeable in much the same way as The Crowd's version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" does.

robin carmody (robin carmody), Friday, 11 June 2004 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd not thought that "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" was 'unheralded' in any sense, maybe as I've liked it for so long, and it just *sounds like* a song well-loved by the multitudes in the Beatles-type way. And was it not a big U.S. hit?

"This One"... slightly above-average cut from a poor album IMO. There are 3 or 4 on the album I'd take over it with nay a doubt.

"C'mon People"... rather contrived air-punching. A lot on "Off The Ground" epitomizes the "thumbs-up Macca" ethos. An ethos which, while harmless enough and jovial, could tend to take over completely from Macca the artisan. The Pinefox has been entirely right in the past to highlight just how exquisite so much of what he did was, from, let's say 1963-82. There's too little of musical interest on OTG; it's all right-on sentiments, chuckles and very formulaic chord sequences. Apart from "Golden Earth Girl", which is the big exception; nearly as wonderful a song as "Wanderlust".

"How Many People"; heh-heh, fairly indistinguishable from "C'mon People", from memory. Slightly different production, and a bit less overwrought... oh and with an ambling reggae rhythm. Hmmm, just about preferable to HMP, but *far too long* I remember, and beyond the wisp of a good tune: very little indeed.

"Ballroom Dancing"; this is just about the most credible of Geir's offered choices. An enjoyable rocker from the fine "Tug of War" album; a lot of energy and such silly lyrics that only McCartney can pen. :)

"Only Love Remains"; that's from "Press to Play", am I right? Very Archetypal McCartney Ballad. Not bad at all, but there's little that elevates it; so much the Archetype that there's nothing that interesting about it; I mean, it's hardly his most beguiling melody, eh? 'Tis slightly less mired than most by that album's production (which admittedly works on a few tracks - "Pretty Little Head", "Footprints") problems.

Tom May (Tom May), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, it's interesting that "Only Love Remains" was the first Press to Play track mentioned. Ostensibly, I like the album. There just don't seem to be any tracks that particularly stand out for me. I should listen to it again.

Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Saturday, 12 August 2006 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

From the first album, I consider "That Would Be Something" as a pretty decent track, even though it sounds like Jerry Garcia (which is probably the reason he covered it).

"Junk" and "Maybe I'm Amazed" are heralded.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Saturday, 12 August 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

I think "Back Seat Of My Car" may be in some sense heralded, but that might just be me in my skewed McCartneyphile bubble...

braveclub, Saturday, 11 July 2009 19:19 (sixteen years ago)

I would like someone to get Stuart Murdoch to admit that "White Collar Boy" is a conscious, deliberate and painstakingly constructed homage to "Magneto & Titanium Man." I love both songs, and surely there is a weird musical and thematic similarity that cannot be random. Of course maybe there is an older pop song that is the mother of both.

That top list is fun - not my idea of a "best" list but I'm glad he went for a career-spanning range of things. I've always loved a bunch of these. His London Town picks are pleasingly wacky - I would have gone for "Morse Moose," "Name and Address," and/or "I've Had Enough." And yeah - "Oh Woman Oh Why" is great.

Oh wait - I see some of my picks down in the honorable mentions.
