Paul's Most Underrated Songs

Love In Song is a particularly beautiful piece of music that I have always loved.

Most of London Town was unfairly criticised in my opinion, too. Cafe On The Left Bank, Deliver Your Children and Morse Moose and the Grey Goose may not be spectacular, but I've always counted them among my favourites.

Average Person just sucks, unfortunately. Excellent choice for a user name, though. ;)

This just in: 'Beware My Love' totally rocks!
I agree. I love the build.

Love In Song and Beware My Love are fantastic piece of music. I thoroughly agree with you, Lisa. I tire of the fact that the general public just haven't a clue when it comes to the depth or emotional impact of Paul's solo catalogue when all they have to do is just listen.

The amount of times I hear people talk about "The Frog Song" or "Mull Of Kintyre" (both wonderful songs, mind you) when Macca is mentioned - and that's even people who generally know a lot about music - it does frustrate me. Paul is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, songwriter(s) of the 20th Century and he's carrying on that trend well into the 21st.

I agree with all of your picks on London Town as well, Clare, apart from Deliver Your Children. I think I'd love that song if it wasn't for the lyric "and a fork and knife". Lazy lyrics at their worst! :pinch:

So The Other Me is allowed a duff lyric but not Deliver Your Children.

I don't know if these are under-rated but there songs that have grown on me more and more to the point that I used to think they were ave. but now seen them as quite classy. Not classic, well some are

Teddy boy
Tomorrow (classic-theMacca hidden gem)
Little lamb dragonfly
London town (classic)
Open tonight (for the few seconds it lasts)
Pretty little head
Figure of eight (although it's a bit perfunctory, perhaps the, inevitable, problem with virtually all Pauls middle-aged work)
Distractions (although it's well crafted it's just not quite a strong enough tune to be a classic)
Heaven on a sunday
Everything on Driving rain
Jenny wren
See your sunshine
You tell me
