Just reading a quote from Greg in another thread, I think that every Wings album is great...not good. I am so warped I can't even understand how people can criticize Wildlife. I love every song on that album. If I was forced to rank them I'd have BTTE near the top. I thought, well why not have a thread ranking the Wings albums! Here's mine: 1 - Red Rose Speedway 2 - Back To The Egg 3 - Band On The Run 4 - Venus and Mars 5 - London Town 6 - Wings at the Speed of Sound 7 - Wild Life 8 - Wings Over America We all have our own personal favourites, and Red Rose Speedway is mine. Back To The Egg is also a fave.. Band on the Run is of course a classic. Wild Life may be my #7, but I still enjoy it very much, some of my favourite Wings tracks are 'Some People Never Know', 'I Am Your Singer' and 'Tomorrow'.. very underrated.. and 'Mumbo' rocks big time. I also enjoy Wings Over America but always prefer studio versions of songs, hence WOA is my least-played Wings album. If you want to include 'Wings Greatest' or 'Wingspan' in your rankings, that's cool too. I used to dig playing Wings Greatest since it included Another Day, Junior's Farm and Hi Hi Hi. Very worthwhile in any fan (or new fan)'s collection. |

I can't do it. I tried and tried. Nothing belongs near the bottom for me.
I can't to do it. Honestly.
Wow, that was weird when I came to the realization that I couldn't put anything near the bottom.
After Wings...oh yeah...I can put things in order. I love Tug of War and Pipes of Peace and some others.
I really don't like Off the Ground.

I really don't like Off the Ground.
Apart from a couple of standouts (collaborations with Elvis Costello) that were probably leftovers from Flowers in the Dirt, I feel the same way. This was where I went off Paul for a while.. until Chaos and Creation came out. 90s grunge bands had much more excitement for me. Pat, great list! Great to see 1973 rockin' the top of the list! |

It was the same he did with Pipes of Piece, which were leftover songs from TOW |

Red Rose Speedway at #3. I'd be interested in your opinion of that album.
I ask in the sense of someone asking me about my opinion of Ram. I really am interested in hearing you explain why you like RR Speedway so much.
I love that album too. In fact I may will go put that on next just because of this post. I always check out the Stevie message when I play that record.
Edit: Well...I didn't even realize. Kylenz and Mervap also put that album up there as high. I'm in the minority. That record never registered as such a favorite compared to the others for me. The medley is awesome. I liked My Love as a single but don't like it on the album. Loup was too long for me. Cool song though. Single Pigeon struck me as having a White Album-y appeal. Gatefold album must have been a leftover from the double album intention? His voice at that age was in prime, prime form wasn't it?

Ha! I sat there last night and just kept flipping over RRS. I probably ended up listening to each side 5-6 times by the time I went to (big barn) bed. lol.
My view on the album has changed, and it's back to tied for the my favorite with about four other Wings' albums. Funny.

I don't have all of these albums,
Red Rose Speedway, may be my favourite too it is adventurous and off beat
Band on the Run & Venus and Mars - I'm pretty tied on these two, V&M is more uneven but I love the opening and it has more stand out tracks for me.
London Town - it's kind of soft but it really charms me
The rest I don't have on cd, I did really like Wild Life & I'd be interested to check that out again, nicely strange from memory.
Once again I noticed comments on Off the Ground, I wrote a post on that album, I love it, aint it great we are all different?
