Band on the Run

I've had Wings music ringing through my head for the past month but haven't taken the time to exercise it through a blog post so here we go.

Just a quick note to reflect on a sometimes overlooked POWERHOUSE in popular music, and then back to the grad party preparations that Suzy is not-yet hounding me about....

I'm not going to make this long or difficult - Wings was an awesome band.  Some of the catchiest pop-rock music ever made.  Paul spent just as much time with Wings as he did with the Beatles, and he was in his 30's, married, having kids, and at the stage of life where his mental and emotional capacities were really peaking and it shows.  This after "defining rock and roll" with the Beatles in his 20's.  Unbelievable.  So I'm just going to share a "top 10" and you will not be able to disagree.

1. Band on the Run
2. Maybe I'm Amazed
3. Live and Let Die
4. Jet (my current personal favorite - moving up this list)
5. With a Little Luck
6. Silly Love Songs
7. Listen to What the Man Said
8. My Love (how majestic and sweet is this??)
9. Junior's Farm
10. Another Day

This could go on and you'd know those songs, too.  If you don't think you know one above - I'll bet you do - click on the link to check.  And I'll bet if you click- it will be in your head all day.  What could say more?

Plus he made the band with his wife.  That's like having a wife who loves watching football, only better.  What do you think, Suzy - can we get you a drum set?

In case you're wondering, I AM still mad at myself for committing an early post in this blog to Air Supply.  But hey - wherever the day takes you, right?
