I'm guessing that McCartney can be solo, his Beatles songs and Wings. I don't think I can do a proper Top 10 because of the insane volume of songs he has. But as long as Temporary Secretary is acknowledged as the worst of the worst, I'm good. Also, any pre-trip-to-India, early Beatles stuff like Love Me Do is pap but was probably necessary in their development.
Beatles: 1) Hey Jude 2) Fool on the Hill 3) Let it Be 4) Long and Winding Road 5) Blackbird 6) Back in the USSR 7) Here Comes the Sun 8) Yesterday 9) Birthday T) Lucy in the Sky
Wings & Solo
1) With a Little Luck 2) We're So Sorry Uncle Albert 3) Live and Let Die 4) Band on the Run 5) Wonderful Christmastime 6) Listen to What the Man Said 7) Jet 8) Hellen Wheels 9) Maybe I'm Amazed T) Give Ireland Back to the Irish
So fuck, now I have to do a Top 10 out of those (I'm not going beyond Press to Play, so this is my favorite McCartney stuff from before most anyone else here was born).
1) Hey Jude 2) Fool on the Hill 3) With a Little Luck 4) We're So Sorry Uncle Albert 5) Let it Be 6) The Long and Winding Road 7) Blackbird 8) Back in the USSR 9) Here Comes the Sun T) Live and Let Die

It used to come on the College Station WTUL before it was even a "college rock" station (known then as the Progressive Alternative). It's as annoying as anything they could play on that station. As for 80's songs, it's just too broad. There were millions of albums released in the 1980's including plenty on here that people would have no idea about that will dwarf anything musically that ends up making the list. I'll have to go read that thread to see if we're talking about 3-4 minute hit songs/videos or whatever. I lived the 1980's as MTV came out the year I graduated High School. We hated the fuck out of it, but that's going to be the memories (even if imagined) of most people (dance, new wavy hits). There are way too many genres and subgenres that blossomed in the 1980's to even attempt the best songs of the 1980's. Inforoo will be 100% wrong however that list ends up.
Edit - yeah, no fucking way I'm participating in that. Thanks to cokes anyway.

Good catch, and my bad on that. He only sings some of the chorus. I knew that but fucked it up thinking of shit I liked.
1) Hey Jude 2) Fool on the Hill 3) With a Little Luck 4) We're So Sorry Uncle Albert 5) Let it Be 6) The Long and Winding Road 7) Blackbird 8) Back in the USSR 9) Live and Let Die T) Band on the Run

1. Hey Jude 2. Yesterday 3. Golden Slumbers Medley (yes, I'm putting the medley as one spot) 4. Eleanor Rigby 5. Band on the Run 6. Live and Let Die 7. Let It Be 8. The Long and Winding Road 9. Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five 10. Blackbird
was tempted to put the Blackbird/Yesterday mashup from Love somewhere on this list

This ones hard due to the amount of heavy hitters that I don't listen to alone that often and the fact that I personally love the early poppy stuff. List gonna look weird
Idk what is going in here really, but Let It Be is one the greatest songs ever written and should be #1 across the board.
Maybe I’m Amazed is a close second. The Medley is cheating but is a top 5.
It's up there. Hey Jude is far from my favorite McCartney song, but I think it's probably one of the most important songs he wrote for the Beatles. Given a Paul choice on my last play on a jukebox, I'm going with Fool on the Hill.
Oh oh oh!

Damn, a Paul list...
1) The Golden Slumbers Medley - on the fence to whether this should be counted, but its basically my favorite piece of music so here it is. 2) Hey Jude 3) Blackbird 4) Maybe I'm Amazed 5) Let It Be 6) Martha My Dear 7) Band on the Run 8) You Never Give Me Your Money 9) Yesterday 10) Here Today - there are probably many more deserving tracks, but this one got real tears out of me back in 2013.

Wait, I thought we were only doing solo work? Had my list ready but if we're including Beatles stuff that changes everything. Seems like doing McCartney and Lennon separately but still including their Beatles songs for both is a little counter intuitive and would basically nullify doing a Beatles list down the road.

How many people even know most of the solo stuff beyond Ram? I don't think any of it but Uncle Albert made my list. Also, I don't think that it's counter-intuitive to allow songs written by McCartney that were Beatles songs that would somehow interfere with a future Beatles list which they might appear again but probably not comprising the same Top 10 considering John and George wrote some of their greatest material too and also because some of the works are credited to more than one of the Beatles. (I didn't include Ringo since probably no way stuff like Octopus' Garden or I Want To Be Your Man should rate in any Beatles Top 10.) JMO

I like a lot of McCartney's solo stuff, with much of it on the newer side. Chaos and Confusion in the Backyard was great. Some of his other recent work was solid too. Could eaisly make a top 10 with just his solo material.
And no disrespect to Harrison... he'd have at least 2 songs in my personal Beatles top 10 with Here Comes the Sun, and Something... but I'd think most people's Beatles list would just be a regurgitation of McCartney and Lennon lists for the most part.

That's all fair. I'd have to re-look at a list of George's Beatles' songs. I already f'd up and included Here Comes the Sun in my original shit for Beatles (but I think McCartney only sings on the "Sun, sun sun, here it comes" part. I wouldn't use Glass Onion which comes to mind. But I love Blue Jay Way and particularly It's All Too Much (even though I felt like Steve Hillage captured it really well later on).

Maybe so. But for your other post, it’s hard to say how it would work out. My appreciation for Beatles begins with Rubber Soul and continues as they turn on and bloom as a musical outfit through Revolver, Mmt, Sgt Peppers, White album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let it Be.
For those who may not know, they released several movies as they quit touring. MMT is my personal favorite.
The willow turns its back on inclement weather. And if he can do it. We can do it. Just me and you...

I feel like there are two qualifications for the medley.
The first is Golden Slumbers > Carry That Weight > The End The second is "everything after Here Comes The Sun."
Personally, I don't think "everything after Here Comes The Sun" should count for this list because John sings Polythene Pam and Mean Mr Mustard, and Because/Sun King are ensemble harmonies.
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window rules though.

Quoted since I'm not the only one holding it in high regard. But I'm apparently the only one so far that's a big fan of With a Little Luck. It's like the worst video ever done and somewhat of a generic song otherwise, but I always liked it. Maybe slow dancing at 8th grade parties gave it that push?
Also, no one has Mull of Kintyre which I think was his biggest song ever in the UK. I think it's okay, but it didn't make my list.

That's a pretty good list. The rule of thumb usually is whomever sings it probably wrote it (John was salty about Oh! Darling for a long time, he thought he could have sung it better).
