"Junk" has a title that would be more apt on most of the other tracks here. So I am voting for that. Of course "Maybe I'm Amazed" is amazing too.

Geir Hongro, Friday, 17 July 2009 23:11 (fifteen years ago)

I can never keep any of these songs straight, apart from the more obvious ones.

amazed beats out junk for me, I also really like "man we was lonely"

Waiting to see ILM's more ludicrous contrarian votes on this one...

I really like the knockabout version of ''Teddy Boy'' on the Beatles Anthology with Lennon gibbering bollocks all over it but the versh on 'Mccartney' is as dull as a wet weekend in the Mull of Kintyre.

I think it's a little snapshot of how they could elevate each others slightly uninspired, run-of-the-mill tunes and give them that WEIRDY GOLDDUSTY BEATULZ MAGIK.

"Every Night" ftw!

Mark G, Sunday, 19 July 2009 10:49 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, this is between, "Junk" and "Every Night" for me, so I went with the latter, as the former won't need my help.

"Maybe I'm Amazed." Love his solo too.

Pretty certain "Maybe I'm Amazed" is the one that will win though. "Every Night" may well be my third choice here.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

hahaha good results.. although "That Would Be Something" isn't so bad.

billstevejim, Saturday, 25 July 2009 01:02 (fifteen years ago)

Also good guitar riff on "Oo You."

billstevejim, Saturday, 25 July 2009 01:02 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, "That Would Be Something" wuz robbed.

Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 25 July 2009 01:33 (fifteen years ago)

I wouldn't go that far.

billstevejim, Sunday, 26 July 2009 04:42 (fifteen years ago)

It's alright, but not as good as "Every Night". This album is definitely way short on good tracks but as a whole it's actually fairly enjoyable. i think that's how i feel about McCartney in general.

myndbloom, Sunday, 26 July 2009 05:12 (fifteen years ago)

Missed this one; would have voted for "Momma Miss America" not so much out of contrarianism as just wanting to give a little love to the jams, of which that one's my favorite. Haven't listened to this one in way too long. Good album though.
