    I am an absolute Wings fan too!
    Please, make the video about Listen To What The Man Said, it would be amazing to see 😁
    My ranking would be
    8. Wild Life (although I love the raw sound of this album, and almost all the tracks, the material that came later was indeed solider)
    7. London Town
    6. Red Rose Speedway
    5. Wings Over America
    4. Back To The Egg
    3. Band On The Run
    2. Wings At The Speed Of Sound
    1. Venus And Mars (In my opinion, the best Wings album, and definitely my favourite)

    I sometimes feel Back to the Egg gets a raw deal. It was the first Wings album I heard and I still love it. I think Spin It On is Paul's best rock out since Helter Skelter. Winter Rose is gorgeous. Again and Again and Again, Arrow Through Me, So Glad to See You Here are all strong songs. I'm not sure why this is so often seen as the runt in the Wings litter. Just discovered your videos. Really enjoying them. Please keep putting them out there.

    Great video! My own list would probably be something like this (although beyond the top 2 I could swamp some of the, and do)
    1: Band on The Run (also probably my favorite McCartney album period)
    2: Venus and Mars (great followup)
    3: Back the Egg (I've always found this underrated, my fave is Old Siam Sir)
    4: London Town
    5:Wings at the peed of Sound
    6: Red Rose Speedway
    7: Wild Life
    I didn't rank Wings Over America, but it's fantastic, would be near the top if I did. Also as you mentioned the solo album Ram is one of his best albums as well!

    I've always said Paul needed John as well as John needed Paul John knows how to express himself lyrically and Paul knows how to make catchy songs. That being said I never delved into this catalog before, any suggestions to start with?

      @@marysmusictaste after a listen I do like venus and mars, it was a great listen very fun record even the slower songs didn't feel too depressing or sad rather allowed me to vibe with the band more. That being said, I don't think it's an album I can go back to very often, it made me want to listen to help and Abbey road. I put myself in 1975 when it was released and think if I lived then and loved the beatles and mccartney then this would've been a refreshing take on the sound the beatles already captured and it would've been on regular spins. Biggest fault in my eyes with the album however would have to be it's not catchy like I expect from Paul, not as much repetitive songs maybe he was trying something new, but I didn't want to sing along like Paul usually makes me want to. 3.5/5 it would change to a 4 if I find myself searching to listen again but it was a very good suggestion to start from if you're a beatles fan first, thank you Mary for the suggestion.

    I feel like Wild Life endures a ton of hate, which is mostly baseless. Songs like I Am Your Singer and Tomorrow are quintessential Paul, and the latter especially draws a lot of Kinks influence which I love (particularly from their Village Green/Arthur period). Dear Friend is an underrated gem. It really sounds like Paul is trying to end the feud with John. It's a shame he didn't hear How Do You Sleep before he recorded it.

    Lol Cook of the House gets slaughtered... I personally don't think it's that bad. I'm relatively new to Wings after collecting all the Wings albums after getting all the Beatles albums. So my ranking of Wings will have to come later. I'm also getting Paul, John, George & Ringo's silo albums gradually. Nice list though.
