Wings singles poll

from wiki:

He was briefly married to Jo Jo Laine, with whom he had a son, Laine Hines, and a daughter, Heidi Hines.[3]

Paula Geldof, your sins are forgiven..

OK, I'm listening to Holly Days, his album of Buddy Holly covers, on youtube now and this is pretty great

Denny is surely the most forgotten man from the biggest bands ever. (UK division at least).

I dunno, I think he'd only cause the Eggheads mild pause.

Was just reading up on Paul's 1980 pot bust and found this:

Funny he's never toured Japan.

Man, the 2014 remasters have some awesome bonus content. Some of it more "interesting" than great (Paul vocals on "Must Do Something About It") and a lot of it I've had in one form or another for ages, but if you came to this directly from just knowing the original albums for years, it would be an absolute bonanza. The demo "Rock Show" reveals much more clearly its ties to "Jet" and "Junior's Farm," with a weird almost-Dylanism on "to witness the end" and a chunkier, fuzzier jam (of sorts) that would be replaced by all the "we're goin down to the rock show" pantomime. Between this and "Soily" it's possible to imagine a Wings that did at least one actual straight up 70s rock album. Not that that would have been better or less artificial than anything else, but it's interesting how McCartney's instincts towards clean production and eclectic variety of sounds trumped his deep desire to be a rock n roller type.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Rock Show is such a horrible song. I just hate it, it's made worse by coming after the really wonderful title track which terminates too quickly to go into that boring bad bullshit. Long hair at the madison square...ugh

what is the fake 'pre-beatle solo record' image above from?

A spoof Beatles biography called "Paperback Writer", Mark Shipper (I think), its very funny in places, occasionally suffers from being written quickly but.

It's definitely worth finding a copy of -- I think used copies are pretty cheap. It goes into a whole thing about their (obviously fictional) 1979 reunion/comeback, which is so awful that they're reduced to this:

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Shocked and pleased by the affection for "Arrow Through Me." Thanks, Erykah Badu.

Surprised that 'My Love' didn't get a vote, but pleased that 'I've Had Enough' and 'London Town' didn't.

I like 'Rock Show', but I agree about the title track of Venus and Mars being wonderful and sadly too short. The reprise is my favourite of the two on the album, though... wish the outro could have gone on for a little while longer.

woah yeah Arrow Through Me's popularity that's a shock. he should play it live more. or ever.
