My opinion is that almost everything McCartney has done since his Beatle days is crap - Band on the Run, Live and Let Die, Silly Love Songs . . . no!

“Silly Love Songs”

A guilty/catchy pleasure. But not a great song in the classic sense. I never really got the Beatles or the Stones. That era just wasn’t for me. I Don’t hate it. Just not for me.

Yeah, the hundreds of songs.. All crap. But, if you knew anything about music you would know that nearly all great songs are written by the young. Most musicians peak by age 30. Just a fact. Now that you are educated, what’s your opinion?

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.

IIRC he plays every instrument on the album, though track dubs.

Hot As Sunglasses is a stark jam, that holds up.

So you just went by the singles you heard on the radio and didn’t listen to the entire LPs. Check.
