Agreed. My wife thinks his post-Beatles stuff is great, but I, like millions of other Beatles fans, observed a noticeable drop in the quality of his music. Most of Lennon's post-Beatle work was garbage as well.

It's sort of ironic that both Harrison and Starr managed better pop records post-Beatles than the two "greatest" Beatles. Did all that weed and other drugs dull their minds, or did they just run out of ideas like many musicians? Probably a combination of both.

The song Ram On is from the album Ram. Ram was McCartney’s second solo album. The album McCartney was his first solo album.

Well, much of the success that Harrison and Starr had was helped along by collaboration with the other ex-Beatles on their biggest hit albums in various ways. On the other hand, Lennon and McCartney wanted to stand on their own, and do things themselves, I think.
