More 5G Than Man
Carry on, wayward cocks.
I'll take Walls & Bridges over anything McCartney's done. The album isn't perfect and has a couple bum tracks, but you know, you could also write off a lot of Dylan albums that way (Planet Waves, Desire, Infidels, Shot of Love, Street Legal) and you'd be making a big mistake there too.
And while it's a little too post-mid-life crisis in its positivity, Double Fantasy is a beautiful album.
FWIW, Jet and Let Me Roll It are two of my favorite Paul recordings ever (including The Beatles), though I've always thought the title track was overblown, schizophrenic crap.
Bright Eyes does a pretty decent cover of it too
Bright Eyes - The Biggest Lie [ Elliott Smith ] - YouTube
According to the comments, only a week or so after Elliott Smith died
And, of course, there's your cover, which I did also enjoy.

I shall prove him wrong and create an 80s mix that will make him tight in the pants. Valotte, and APP - Eye in the Sky are my first two entries. Suggestions are welcome

Ha, Reggo, I like your Toothless avatar.

There's a weak track on Desire? I won't accept this.
Are you insinuating that it's easy to care more about the 80s, that that joke was easily set up, or was too easily set up?
Bono and Edge are on Letterman tonight.
Easy set up for a shouter reference if someone wanted to take it
According to atU2, The Edge had his acoustic guitar and they performed "Stuck In A Moment" - they are the only guests.
I don't know that I'd call the rainbow asplosion at the end of the last thread an achievement...
