I couldn't even give you my Top 5 Clash or Dylan songs without weeks of tears, tantrums, cogitation and much nashing of teeth. <br />What I can tell you is that in my current line of work, totally random earworms are wont to get stuck in my head for hours at a time as I toil and Macca's tunes regularly feature. The most recent five examples are Queenie Eye, Figure of Eight, Press, You Gave Me the Answer and Ballroom Dancing. Honestly, when Ballroom Dancing gets stuck in your noggin, ain't nuthin' gonna shift it.

When Pipes is good, it's very good, but there are a few weak moments that keep it some distance from my top 5. When So Bad was out as a single, I would run home from school as fast as I could because if I got in the door by 3:00 I could catch the video at the top of the hour on MTV. The rotation was pretty stagnant at the time. Loved seeing Ringo and Paul together. I like a few unusual McCartney/Wings albums like Chaos... unusual meaning not ones most would rank highly. I actually pull out Back to the Egg with regularity. I know.
