For me Chaos is Paul's masterpiece. I think McCartney 3 ended his incredible hot streak starting with Chaos. Hoping he can start another one with his next studio release.
Chaos is a great album. I really hope it gets the archive treatment someday. Isn’t it amazing that at 79 we are still anticipating that there will be a next album from Paul?
Tough to rate all his album's but Tug of War is rapidly becoming a real favourite of mine..Ram is my favourite and you have great taste liking Pink Floyd and Deep Purple..love from Liverpool 👍👍🎵🎵
Press To Play is so underrated. I’ve always loved it. I’d rank it higher.. As for Wings, Back To The Egg is their most underrated album for me, I’d rank that higher as well. Good video
Thanks, I do like both of those albums. I was just listening to Back to the Egg this weekend, I can see that as one that could move up my list over time. Thanks for watching!
Great ranking,my first is the same(no surprise there).I agree that Press to play is not one of the best but there's a hidden treasure: ''However absurd'', a really great song.
That is a really good tune. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Press to Play, I think it could make a really interesting Archive set. I hope they do it someday. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your ranking video! Good to see `Memory..` and `Chaos and..` ranking highly! I also think McCartney 3 is the strongest of the three McCartney numbered albums. I find it has enough quirkiness and at the same time is more consistent in quality than the other two.
Yes, I think Paul has put out some incredible music in the last decade and a half or so. McCartney III continues to hold up well for me. I think Paul still has a lot left in the tank.
Really great list Mat, you've really made me want to re-listen to his more recent albums. I'm more familiar with his earlier stuff, so I agree about your top two, also at the top end of my list I would have Venus & Mars, Tug of War, McCartney I and II. I like that you placed Pipes of Peace higher in your list, I think that's got some really catchy tunes on...shame about the dustbin lid. ;)
I hope you enjoy re-listening to the more recent albums. I obviously feel Paul’s been on a hot streak lately. The great thing about his catalog is there are great albums from every decade- I love all the ones you mentioned. Thanks for watching.
Run Devil Run in terms of rock music and muscianship is stunning. The sense of letting rip with tremenduous energy and fun I think people should give it more listens. Cool video
Nice video! I see you're also loving the latter day Paul (me too!) so I missed the Electric Arguments album: one of Paul's best, especially the more pop-rock songs of the first half, really great. Great production also. I could mention a lot on every one of his albums as well, but that would make a loooooong remark haha ;) which I already had done many times elsewhere in comments ;-) but for now I would say that, besides electric arguments and all my fav songs throughout his career (many !!), I play these albums as a whole the most often: ram, chaos, speedway, III, flaming. Kind regards from The Netherlands! Simon
I like Electric Arguments quite a bit too, I just decided to leave the Fireman albums out altogether. There is a case to be made for including that one; maybe I will if I ever decide to do an update. Those are some great picks for albums to listen to the most. Great songs on all of them! Thanks for your comments, Simon!
That's a great review video. Paul has his ups and downs with his albums. A lot of people think, including me that side 2 of Wild Life is better than side 1.
Couldn't agree with your ranking of McCartney III by definitely with you on Chaos. I could have ranked it higher if it wasn't for Band On The Run, Tug of War and Back To The Egg
Cool, I know not everyone digs McCartney III as much as I do. It’s still holding up well for me. All those albums are great. I’ve been listening to Back to the Egg a fair amount lately, I may have to move it up a bit if I ever re-do the rankings.
Really interesting ranking! I really enjoy watching your videos, could you do a top of Paul's Archive Collection? I think it would be interesting to know what is the best archive collection. Cheers!!!
I might do that. For financial reasons, I didn't start getting Paul's archives (the deluxe sets, I've been getting the 2CDs) for the first few years, but I've been trying to catch up recently. I may go ahead and do a discussion of the ones I've got, though.
I would have put the cover albums at the bottom because I buy Paul albums to hear Paul songs. Run Devil Run is well done for what it is, best version of All Shook Up, but the cd still doesn’t rank as high for me as any of his cds with all original material. Kisses was a total waste of effort for him. On the other end, Ram and Memory Almost Full are my favorites.
Nice to see you have Memory so high, it is a really good album. Some people don’t include the cover albums at all, but I really like Run Devil Tun. Thanks for your comments!
Paul has had a 50 year solo career. Bless him. John sadly was 6 yrs. George 31 yrs. Ringo still going. Love RAM. Flaming Pie. Chaos. McCartney. BAND ON THE RUN. Some hidden gems. And some flops. With McCartney you have to pick threw it. Sadly John was murdered before he really got going again. He was getting creative again. Beatles set the Bar. They were all great.
Interesting ranking, Antonio! Nice to see Pipes of Peace so high. Although I don't have it that high myself, I do believe it is often underrated. Thanks for watching!
1. Flaming Pie 2. Memory Almost Full 3. Ram 4. Band on the Run 5. Egypt Station 6. Chaos & Creation 7. Tug of War 8. Venus & Mars 9. 3rd Fireman Album 10. Wings at the Speed of Sound 7.
I see, like me, you really appreciate Paul's more recent output. Very high placing for Memory Almost Full! Flaming Pie is a great album, nice pick for #1. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't include any of The Fireman albums in my rankings, although Electric Arguments is much more like a Paul album than the first two. I'd probably have it around the upper middle of my list, maybe just cracking the top 10.
I disagree with the low placement of Red Rose Speedway. It's an album I grew up on and still love. My Love is still one of the best love songs ever written. It has one of my favorite lines ever: "Only my love holds the other key to me." Little Lamb Dragonfly is memorable, and is likely about Lennon. And the medley is simply awesome and underrated, as is this great album.
I do like Red Rose Speedway quite a bit. Little Lamb Dragonfly is a great track, I agree. I also think Get On The Right Thing is one of Paul’s best. It’s just that I like some of the other albums better. It gets hard to rank Paul’s albums, there are so many great ones. Thanks for your comments.
Very true, that album is incredibly brickwalled. The tunes are great though. I agree, a newly remastered version would be most welcome. Thanks for watching!
I don't include it in my rankings as I don't consider it a "proper" McCartney album, since it has other artists performing the songs. I like it fine, but I haven't listened to it in a while. I gave it a few spins when I got it and enjoyed it well enough, but if I am in the mood for those songs I prefer to listen to McCartney III as opposed to the Imagined album.
Hi, I've checked and it seems like the levels are ok, I was just speaking softer than usual. Not sure if my voice had been bothering me then or not, I don't remember. In any case, I apologize if it was too quiet for you to hear at a normal volume.
Sorry about that. I had earphones in when I checked it so maybe that's why I could hear it when I turned it up a bit. I may re-do the video at some point.
John, Driving Rain is easily for me Paul's least memorable. I always have a hard time remembering how most of the songs go. Ram is certainly a worthy choice of favorite. Thanks for watching!
For me Chaos is Paul's masterpiece. I think McCartney 3 ended his incredible hot streak starting with Chaos. Hoping he can start another one with his next studio release.
Chaos is a great album. I really hope it gets the archive treatment someday. Isn’t it amazing that at 79 we are still anticipating that there will be a next album from Paul?
Tough to rate all his album's but Tug of War is rapidly becoming a real favourite of mine..Ram is my favourite and you have great taste liking Pink Floyd and Deep Purple..love from Liverpool 👍👍🎵🎵
Tug of War is a really strong album. Since I got the archive set it has been growing on me more and more. Thanks for watching!
Press To Play is so underrated. I’ve always loved it. I’d rank it higher..
As for Wings, Back To The Egg is their most underrated album for me, I’d rank that higher as well.
Good video

That's a great review video. Paul has his ups and downs with his albums. A lot of people think, including me that side 2 of Wild Life is better than side 1.
Yeah, I find myself going back and forth on that now. Certainly Dear Friend is a highlight of the album. Thanks for your comments!

I love McCartney III and Tug of War, I love rank, I agree very much and is for much help when I buy an album!!!!!
Thanks, Mal. I enjoy watching ranking videos when I am trying to decide which albums to buy by artists, too. I'm glad mine is helpful!
Killer top 3. Hard to disagree with that! Enjoyed the video 👍
I agree with you about mccartney III,it is really great and underrated
Right on! Thanks for watching.
Paul has had a 50 year solo career.
Bless him.
John sadly was 6 yrs.
George 31 yrs.
Ringo still going.
Love RAM.
Flaming Pie.
Chaos.
McCartney.
BAND ON THE RUN.
Some hidden gems.
And some flops.
With McCartney you have to pick threw it.
Sadly John was murdered before he really got going again.
He was getting creative again.
Beatles set the Bar.
They were all great.
I agree, they were all great. It’s really sad we never got to hear what John might have done in the 80’s and beyond. Thanks for watching.
1 flowers in the dirt 2 pies of peace 3 tug of war 4 band on the run 5 wings At the speed of the sound
Interesting ranking, Antonio! Nice to see Pipes of Peace so high. Although I don't have it that high myself, I do believe it is often underrated. Thanks for watching!
I agree with your ranking, Paul is the best artist for me, and he deserves much more status like the god of rock, and pop that he is.
Paul is the best. Thanks, Samuel!
I can easily rank the other 3 Beatles solo albums, but sir Macca's is hard for me to rank.
There are so many great ones, it is hard! Thanks for watching.
1. Flaming Pie
2. Memory Almost Full
3. Ram
4. Band on the Run
5. Egypt Station
6. Chaos & Creation
7. Tug of War
8. Venus & Mars
9. 3rd Fireman Album
10. Wings at the Speed of Sound
7.
I see, like me, you really appreciate Paul's more recent output. Very high placing for Memory Almost Full! Flaming Pie is a great album, nice pick for #1. Thanks for sharing.
Well done..also I love Tug of Peace!!
Cool, glad to know I’m not alone! Thanks for watching, Don.
You should check out Glen from the basement , he loves Driving Rain like he loves Larry Graves. Which is a whole lotta love.
I subscribe to Glen’s channel. He’s great.
Did I miss Electric Arguments?
I didn't include any of The Fireman albums in my rankings, although Electric Arguments is much more like a Paul album than the first two. I'd probably have it around the upper middle of my list, maybe just cracking the top 10.
My favourite is pipes of peace
While Pipes of Peace does not rate near the top for me, I do think it is a very underrated album. There's some really great songs on that one!
Hells Bells. They are all good. 😊 ❤
You can’t go wrong!
On phone can't hear you....max sound please....x
On my phone it sounds fine at about half volume, which is the level at which I usually listen to UA-cam videos. I’m sorry if it’s not working for you.
I disagree with the low placement of Red Rose Speedway. It's an album I grew up on and still love. My Love is still one of the best love songs ever written.

@@matthewturnage4998 I understand, and you seem to like it. But this album gets a lot of hate and I simply don't get why. It's one of my faves.
@@angelthman1659 I think you’re right, the album does seem to not get as much credit as it deserves.
Single Pigeon. An absolute fav.
@@jayhawkjd8565 it is a great tune!
Mix and mastering of Memory Almost Full is horribly loud and overcompressed! I hope it gets redone - definitely in my Top 10
Very true, that album is incredibly brickwalled. The tunes are great though. I agree, a newly remastered version would be most welcome. Thanks for watching!
What about McCartney III imagined
I don't include it in my rankings as I don't consider it a "proper" McCartney album, since it has other artists performing the songs. I like it fine, but I haven't listened to it in a while. I gave it a few spins when I got it and enjoyed it well enough, but if I am in the mood for those songs I prefer to listen to McCartney III as opposed to the Imagined album.
@@matthewturnage4998 I agree
Red Rose Speedway # 1
It is a great album!
I'm dying.
I hope you feel better!
The volume of the video is way to low.
Hi, I've checked and it seems like the levels are ok, I was just speaking softer than usual. Not sure if my voice had been bothering me then or not, I don't remember. In any case, I apologize if it was too quiet for you to hear at a normal volume.
@@matthewturnage4998 My hearing is fine but even when I turn up the volume to maximum I can't hear Jack s***.
Sorry about that. I had earphones in when I checked it so maybe that's why I could hear it when I turned it up a bit. I may re-do the video at some point.
For me, I’d put Driving Rain in last place. Nothing outstanding on it. My favourite is Ram.
John, Driving Rain is easily for me Paul's least memorable. I always have a hard time remembering how most of the songs go. Ram is certainly a worthy choice of favorite. Thanks for watching!
