Paul wrote a lot of 70's schlock but I think Silly Love Songs takes the cake...

I think Race was pretty clear. If you don't confuse the 1870s and the 1980s then you weren't there.PurpleThrobber said:

To be fair, @RaceBannon used to shake his groove thing at ΣΤΥΔΙΟ LIV

But you’re not wrong.
“Paul, I’m a lover not a fighter” might be the faggiest riff of all faggy riffs ever.

It seems to ne like the McCartney songs mentioned (extremely faggy btw) were 80s not 70s, aside from Silly Love Songs.
I grew up on 70s schlock, or at least I'd call much of it that now. Elvis, Rod Stewart, the BeeGees, the cats in the cradle, Wildfire, and so on. I came out of it not liking but at least able to tolerate some of the chick singers like Joan Baez, Carly simon, Carol King, and even Linda Ronstadt (who I mostly just wanted to bed). I liked Cat Steven's and Jim Croce OK, but they were too hippy for Mom so she didn't play them as much.
The amazing thing to me later on was how much awesome rock i was missing thanks to my mom and her shit vinyl collection. I didn't even know until I was an adult that my dad actually listened to good music all that time. -

Cat Stevens aka @Yousef_#1UberDriver was amazing. Among the top 4 folk based singer songwriters of that era.chuck said:It seems to ne like the McCartney songs mentioned (extremely faggy btw) were 80s not 70s, aside from Silly Love Songs.

Paul’s early body of solo work was good through Band on the Run. Everything thereafter was schlocky crap.
The best solo album by a Beatle is All Things Must Pass and it’s not even close. -
It burns my ears. Yuck.89ute said: -
Solid choice, but I favor Plastic Ono, imagine, and even double fantasy (just ignore everything with Yoko's name or voice in it).YellowSnow said:

Plastic Ono and Imagine were amazing records. My opinion, however, is that George had more classic songs on his first than either of those two. Now if John had done a double album to debut i would probably feel differently.

I don't think George ever attained the songwriting prowess of John or Paul. That said, he had built up a surplus great material in 1969/70 which couldn't fit on Let it Be or Abbey Road based on his normal 2 songs per LP quota.DerekJohnson said:

I've long said, it you take the 13- 14 best songs off each of their solo debuts, you might have the best Beatles LP ever.

Maybe I'm Amazed
That album would have been YUGE. -
I think the worst was Stewart getting into discoish music

Great Song. Good video too, considering it stars a young @creepycoug. -
If you're ever hanging with @koopdog, start singing Imagine and watch his reaction.YellowSnow said:
