The best is the Theme of "Rupert and the Frog Song" my daughters simply love it a lot and I also do love it.
Revolution 9 next (not sure who made it as it has no lead vocals and I'm an ignorant)

Revolution #9 is all Lennon
Side 2 of Abbey Road is for me the greatest thing the Beatles ever did....my fave part of it is McCartney's Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight, although obviously it contains songs by John and George as well.
It might have been overplayed to death, but 'Hey Jude' is a remarkable song and as an individual track, the high point of his career
Dont forget 'Mary had a little lamb' though! |

was just pulling your leg at being outraged with the 'blog' thing..
anyway :
top 5 - Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight ; Hey Jude ; For No One ; Let It Be ; Long and winding road
None of the solo stuff comes close to the beatles era songs, but around 1973-74 he was putting out some good stuff like Juniors Farm, Let me roll it, Helen wheels, etc.
bottom 5 - hard to say, because theres so much of his solo stuff I mercifully havent heard, but
Give Ireland back to the Irish (for the same reason Glencar likes it ), Ebony & Ivory , Say Say Say, Mary had a little lamb and a few others are pretty stomach-churningly bad and toe-curlingly embarrassing
thet 'Freedom' song that he tried to plug to death at the 9/11 memorial concert was pretty grim too. Macca and bandwagon-jumping 'causes' dont go well together. He comes off as simply being too cheesy

The only McCartney songs that I can stomach listening to at all anymore are Helen Wheels and Jet, and maybe once in a while, Live and Let Die. Everything else he's ever done just sounds puerile now. |

1.- My Brave Face
2.- The Back Seat Of My Car
3.- Maxwell's Silver Hammer
4.- I Lie Around
5.- The Pound Is Sinking
Numbers 1 and 2 are definitive. |

I like very nearly everything Polly wrote with his old fiance Johnny. Except for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". And a few others. His output since 1969 has been, um, shall we be charitable and say "spotty"?
I like the stuff he write with Costello. I wish those guys would've started a band. |
