Re: McCartney Ram

Thanks for the considered views, and Stuart I was really asking about any post-Beatles work solo or otherwise. Strictly speaking Ram was actually credited to Paul and Lynda McCartney so not a solo LP. I have nothing by Wings for example and while I know the odd thing from radio play I have never been tempted to explore further although I am thinking again after hearing Ram. I can't see me going for any Ringo, but I also wondered about Harrison's other stuff, as I really do like All Things.

I'll check out Flower In The Dirt, and New.

Re: McCartney Ram

Ram was slated when it was first released.

Re: McCartney Ram

The critics hated it at the time for some reason. I guess they were looking for 'authentic' rootsy honest rock, as opposed to Ram which they probably thought was backwards looking over-ornate pop fluff. The public liked it well enough though and it was a good seller. The critics also seem to love it now too, probably the biggest u-turn critical reappraisal I can think of.
