  1. Silly Love Songs

  2. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (Cannot wait for this reissue! My wife and I never leave home without this album. So many melodies!)

  3. Do I really have to pick just one?! Alright, it would have to be either Another Day or Live and Let Die….oh or Band on the Run (: Good stuff!

  4. My Brave Face

  5. Favorite single? Hmm. I’ll go with “My Love”. Although I’d like to pick a more obscure one that I love — “Oh Woman, Oh Why” or “Tug Of War” or “This One” — you can’t really beat My Love.

  6. another day is my favorite song by Paul McCartney

  7. hard one..
    let me roll it

  8. Let me Roll It, love that song it came out in a great time of my life :)

  9. I LOVE all of them, but, for the sake of this contest, I will pick Maybe I’m Amazed

  10. Please Please Please! This was the album that my first love was set to!
    Our song was “Back Seat of my Car”.
    LOVE all of this album!

  11. Maybe I’m Amazed

  12. Another day;-)

  13. Oh for sure Maybe I’m Amazed. HUGE Macca fan!

  14. My favorite McCartney song is probably Here Today. It makes me cry every. Damned. Time.

  15. ~ Band on the Run ~

  16. Choose a favorite? Now that is hard. So many great ones to chose from, I’m gonna go with “Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey” , That song is so much fun to listen too.

  17. JET….but I love also Here Today and Maybe I’m amazed…He’s the greatest living legend, love to you Paulie :)

  18. i love them all .. but it has to be “maybe i’m amazed” … what a classic love song … and a true tribute to a rare and special partnership …

  19. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (but I liked the B-side, Too Many People, even better!), and Maybe I’m Amazed is my all-time favorite song

  20. Hi Hi Hi … “get you ready for my polygon.”

  21. there are so many great songs-Live and Let Die-every time I see him in concert, that performance never fails to amaze me!

  22. Mull Of Kintyre

  23. Not sure if I did this correctly-hope so! Anyway, mine is “Maybe I’m Amazed’

  24. Venus and Mars/Rock Show

  25. Maybe I’m Amazed has always been my favorite.

  26. “Band on the Run”

  27. Mull of Kintyre…I’m a sucker for bagpipes!

  28. You took your lucky break and broke it in two.

  29. Too Many People

  30. Monkberry Moon Delight

  31. where to start?i’ve named my german shepherd “jet” for that reason? off this record,hmm?i’m a sloppy uke player so “ram on” but there is “smile away”..but thee one song that really moves me most would have to be “junk”..done

  32. Maybe I’m Amazed

  33. Mull of Kintyre at this moment. Ask me tomorrow when I’m in a different mood and I may answer with another song.

  34. HI HI HI definitely. Not sure if this was on a single but Mull of Kintyre was also a favorite. Also anything from Wings Over America. That album was classic Wings.

  35. Sally G … the flip of the double-A-side from 1974 (Junior’s Farm/Sally G)

  36. Dear Boy. Not an official single per se, but man am I glad he and Brian Wilson had a competition going.

  37. So many choices…some many good ones already mentioned. I’ll have to add “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five” to the list.

  38. Jet! First 45 I ever bought with my own money.

  39. Band on the run.

  40. Hi Hi Hi/C Moon

  41. Ram was always my favorite Paul album – I used to steal my parents’ vinyl and listen to it on my little Fischer Price Record Player. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey has got to be my favorite. As much as I loved other projects of Paul’s after – that was my first & best love. :)

  42. Band On The Run!

  43. Let Me Roll It is a badass little love song :)

  44. Band on the run

  45. Mull of Kintyre

  46. “Maybe I’m Amazed”

  47. Warm and Beautiful – you can tell that its real…and even if it is just a silly love song, the melody and chord structure carry the day!

  48. Junior’s Farm

  49. Junior’s Farm!

  50. Has to be one of his contemporary works……”This never happened to me before”. Makes me swoon….

  51. The Back Seat of My Car

  52. Ditto to Debra D. Maybe I’m Amazed!

  53. Maybe I’m Amazed

  54. McCartney solo? “No More Lonely Nights,” the perfect bookend to “Yesterday.”

  55. Junior’s Farm!

  56. Heart of the Country. So simple and lovely.

  57. “With A Little Luck”

  58. Heart of the Country

  59. Junior’s Farm

  60. I’m gonna go with “Old Siam, Sir” at the moment.

  61. “Junior’s Farm” – favourite non-album single.
    “Maybe I’m Amazed” and “Band on the Run” – favourite singles from album tracks.
    “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” – favorite track from Ram.

  62. One of my favorite songs is ‘Another Day’, which is great because it’s now included in this reissue.

  63. All I think of when I hear “Too Many People” is John Lennon replying with “How Do You Sleep?”. Like Hey Jude in reverse

  64. Probably “Maybe I’m Amazed”

  65. Mull of Kintyre and My Love are two of my absolute favorite PM/Wings songs. :-)

  66. ” Maybe I´m amazed ” … a beautiful love song and an eternal and very sensitive tribute to inforgettable Linda … this song shows what real love is in an not conventional way … music, especially piano enhances the powerful feelings explained in lyrics …

  67. Venus and Mars !!!!!!!

  68. Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer would be my favorite amongst many greats to choose from.

  69. Another Day

  70. How can you pick just one? I really did Vintage clothes/ that was me/ feet in the clouds off memory almost full (I really count them as one piece of music). Really though it depends on my mood. McCartney has made so much great music over the years that picking one is just impossible.

  71. 3 legs!!! “My dog he got 3 legs… but he can run!”

  72. Live and Let Die. Especially since I have seen him in concert a few times performing this one!

  73. Another Day……great video!

  74. Hope Of Deliverance/Long Leather Coat
    The best single I ever heard and I’ve got it!! :)

  75. Live and Let Die!

  76. Always have enjoyed “Jet,” but my vote has to go for Wings and the “Goodnight Tonight”/”Daytime Nighttime Suffering” single.

  77. Country Dreamer

  78. “Maybe I’m Amazed”. Sir Paul, Linda was the love of your life, and she always will be. The RAM album is one of my favorite all time albums. When it was released I knew it was ok that The Beatles had broken up, and that George, Ringo and John had a steep hill to climb to keep up with you.

  79. “The Back Seat Of My Car” b/w “Heart Of The Country”

  80. Another Day

  81. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, and so many others.

  82. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

  83. Let Me Roll It…does it

  84. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

  85. Jenny Wren!

  86. So many good ones to pick from but i’d have to say Helen Wheels!

  87. Maybe I’m Amazed – it is going to be our wedding song. :)

  88. My Brave Face

  89. Maybe I’m Amazed.

  90. So many fantastic songs to choose from, but the one that is a classic and makes me want to sing along the most is ‘Band on the Run.’

  91. Tough question. I really love “Let Me Roll It.”

  92. Mull of Kintyre with those lovely bagpipes from the region.

  93. “Maybe I’m Amazed.” In his solo career, it’s the closest he ever came to the towering majesty of songs like “Let it Be,” “Hey Jude,” etc.. It’s hard for a song to be grandiose AND humble, yet Macca somehow pulls it off with “Maybe I’m Amazed.”
