(I’m sure it’s been discussed already, but I can’t look through that lot!)

Ram, obviously

[km9]

Tug of war is great

All things must pass 👍  i always had George down as my favourite Beatle, cos being in a band while Lennon and McCartney are writing ridiculous bangers three times a day while you're trying to write your own songs must've been ridiculously frustrating

This is the one. I can’t get tired of this album. But I was meaning McCartney albums.

😄 its my fave post-beatles album by a Beatle! In terms of Macca albums, i think Flaming Pie is actually pretty decent. i've barely ever listened to any of the 80's stuff, cos of the hideous production - but Flaming Pie came out right in the middle of britpop and i listened to it a fair bit and it still stands up really well, too. Bet i'm the only person who picks it!

Band On the Run, Ram or Chaos and Creation in the Backyard for me

[One Tonne Baby]

The first half of Band on the Run is ridiculous

I decided based on the above to play this as working background music right now. Turns out it's very good for my brain performance!

I love Flaming Pie. 
I’m not sure why I asked this question to be honest, there’s rarely an outright fave for me. 
I like ‘Back to the Egg’.

Chaos is excellent (the others go without saying) 

[The Nal]

Macca - Ram, Band on the Run, Macca 2, Tug of War, Flaming Pie, Chaos and Creation, Electric Arguments

Lennon - Plastic Ono, Imagine and Mind Games at a push. Nearly everything else is lazy dogshit. 

Harrison - All Things, Material World

Ringo - Ringo

Pete Best - Best of the Beatles

And he still managed to write the outright best Beatles song.

Forgot Tug of War. That’s got some serious tunes on it, and just about survives the impending 80s production disaster (more treble! More!)

McCartney - Band on the Run.  By a mile.

All Beatles?  Probably still this but maybe All Things.

Band On The Run by a landslide!

[Badlands]

Watching on the iplayer before it falls off. Been a long time since I played it but I swear the video screen to The End is the finishing screen to Beatles Rock Band.

Band on the Run

But a soft spot for:

London Town

Was reading that earlier, yes - good to get an insider’s view. I hadn’t seen any of the Sunday papers’ reviews of the show. Seem to be overwhelmingly positive, and BBC’s highest ever Glasto viewing figures, which no doubt was helped by switching it to BBC1, but great all the same.
I’ve had a few people say to me prior to the festival that they wouldn’t have watched Macca had they been going, but having watched it on TV were completely blown away.

I've had two reports from people who saw it, one who was there, one who watched it on TV. Both said it was boring.

It's not allowed, esp by the press, to say anything negative about Macca.

He could have come on and done nothing and it would have been the greatest gig of all time.
