Clickbait List: Paul McCartney’s 35 Best Songs, Unless You Disagree

Share

This weekend Paul McCartney celebrated his 80th birthday. His career stretches back to 1957 when he first wrote songs with George Harrison and John Lennon.

Everyone has a list of their favorite McCartney songs. Which ones are the best? I made a list of 35 songs. That’s 35 out of 500, maybe. So you will disagree, and I don’t blame you.

I had the pleasure of seeing McCartney in concert on Thursday night, and had a lot of time to think about all this. But send in your lists to showbiz411@gmail.com, too.
