Paul's staying away from skanks. The last one cost him $50 million.
Or was that pounds?

TALENTLESS heirhead PARIS HILTON...the pointless socialite...Paul's contribution to music is towering. Paris's isn't....

Man, I can't think of any US media outlet outside of a basement blog that would write in this style.

How in the hell did it do that?

You are talking about the same people who made the CRAZY FROG (new window) set to techno a number 1 hit in the UK. They have no taste.

What she actually said was, "Why don't we duet in the road?"

It pains me to see the ways the term "techno" is applied. I wish you ill! Nothing serious like head cancer though. I hope you stub your toe today. When you do, just remember, I wished it upon you.

Yeah, he only sold about 10 million albums with Wings.

I know your debut record, "Obscure Cubicle Slave Blues" sold twice that.

And Britney Spears has sold about 50 million albums, does that mean either is any good?

At least Britney always had some good production value. From what I heard of Paris, she right up there in the league with the Brady Bunch, "Sunshine Day".

I'm sure crying about it on an Internet message board dwarfs all record sales in terms of cultural capital.

That's probably because Paris only performs well in front of a night vision camera.

Oh, and like it or not, Wings stuff is played all the damn time on the radio, thirty years after he quit doing it. He gets a check every time they do so. I don't care for it but nonetheless, it's there. Spears won't be played like that...are you kidding me?

I don't know, I'd much rather hear Hit Me Baby than Band on the Run ever again.

Paris Hilton's little pop/ska song a couple years ago wasn't that bad.

I would have a duet with her and Lohan, but only if I can have the AF hit the room with a JDAM while we are in there (after we are done)

Macca should write a song about a brain dead socialite coont and record it with her. She wouldn't get the joke.

Sir Paul gets a check every time a lot of stuff is played on the radio. MPL owns tons of major publishing rights.

Wow...what an astute observation. Maybe you should send McCartney some mail to remind him he can give up his crappy songwriting career and instead, become an anonymous internet poster on a site frequented by retards. I'm sure he hasn't thought of that.

 
SpyVsSpy 2009-02-10 12:36:40 PM  
I'm not saying WIngs was the greatest group ever, but when Paris records an album like "Band on the Run" let me know.


(I also like "Back to the Egg" and "London Town," but that's just me. "Live and Let Die," pretty sweet as well.)

("Maybe I'm Amazed" is pretty cool too. Though it's not Wings.)

(And his work with Fireman on "Electric Arguments" is pretty impressive. But I digress.)

 
heavythumb 2009-02-10 12:57:56 PM  
I'm the one who got Paul McCartney out of Wings.

You idiot! He was the best one!

 
Hoopy Frood 2009-02-10 01:03:34 PM  
IMO, Back to the Egg is the most underrated album in his catalog, Spy. I think I'm gonna put that one on right now, in fact. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more impressive lineup in the history of rock music than the one on the Rockestra Theme.

Well, except for the live version, anyway.

I agree, Hoopy. If I remember it right, it was kind of a flop--which is surprising, considering some of his lesser work (in my opinion) was so successful.

But it's one of his best albums, easily.

9.5/10

I actually thought you were serious for a bit. Then I realized just how farking ungodly retarded that statement is. I mean, at first I was thinking just post-Beatles, and of course you'd still be way off, because even if Paul's lyrics havent always been great, he still writes and plays the parts for pretty much all of the instruments he's used on his solo records. But then I remembered that Paul wrote the majority of his Beatles output without John anyway, and realized that I had just been trolled.

Ha, Paris Hilton anywhere near Paul McCartney in music-writing ability. That's a good one, man.

 
Madbassist1 [TotalFark] 2009-02-10 01:22:51 PM  
A shocking amount of WINGS hatred here. You guys can say popularity != quality all you want, but Paul is a good songwriter with or without John.

which of them sold more albums solo? Not a big fan, I really dont know.

Paul sold more solo--but John only had 10 post-Beatle years to record (and 5 of those he retired to live a private non-recording life), while Paul has had 39 post-Beatle years (and counting), in which he has pretty much been recording continuously, and quite prodigously.

He has also sold more than a billion records around the world to mass critical acclaim.

Hilton's 2006 debut album, Paris, reached No29 in the UK charts and was a steaming pile of poo.

One critic said it was "uninspired, self-indulgent techno dance tracks that are insulting to nearly everyone".


lordy i love the brits for their writing style - going to read it again - why can't we have writing like this in the US?
