    Limiting it to just 10 is a near impossible task but here goes:

    1. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (Ram)
    2. Maybe I'm Amazed (McCartney)
    3. Band On The Run (BOTR)
    4. Arrow Through Me (BTTE)
    5. Warm & Beautiful (WATSOS)
    6. House Of Wax (MAF)
    7. Daytime Nighttime Suffering (bs - Goodnight Tonight)
    8. Monkberry Moon Delight (Ram)
    9. This Never Happened Before (C&CITB)
    10. Rainclouds (bs - Ebony & Ivory)

    Ask me tomorrow, and easily half that list would be different.

    The mono version of this is incredible. Listen to that bass!

    For me I would list about 25 or so Macca songs that stand above the rest of his output or connect with me in some personal way. Boiling it down to 10 is really hard, but if I had to, it would be something like this. On any given day, a couple of these might be swapped out for others. In roughly chronological order, because I really can't pick favorites among these:

    Maybe I'm Amazed
    Too Many People
    Band on the Run
    Here Today
    Wanderlust
    Somedays
    Mr. Bellamy
    The End of the End
    Dominoes
    Confidante

    You could use any of the six Concerts For The People of Kampuchea tracks for '81, and "Maybe Baby" for '00. :D

    Quite a lot of love for "Mr Bellamy" which is such a great, quirky one (as is the album as a whole). Love the ambiguity of the song. "Silly Love Songs" seems to be M.I.A., though for me, personally, it's a "classic." Perhaps just not quite a top 10 for most people.

    The '70's equivalent of "Fuh You"?

    I was thinking Beware My Love as his best vocal ever, maybe with Oh Woman Oh Why as an alternative

    McCartney’s post-Beatles output may have not quite risen to the level of those Fab Four years but when he’s is on his game, he is pretty darn good. Here are 10 of my all-time favorites, in no particular order...

    How Kind of You
    This Never Happened Before
    Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
    Maybe I’m Amazed
    Take It Away
    Queenie Eye
    Tomorrow
    Ever Present Past
    Young Boy
    The Pound Is Sinking

    I tried to keep it to sound like an album. I wrestled with the inclusion of no more lonely nights.
    Would make a great album.
