That viewer saying that Paul McCartney is "grossly" overrated definitely does not give him the respect he deserves. I agree what you've said in the entire video. You may not like Paul McCartney's music, but that doesn't mean you have to outright disrespect him. I don't like Motörhead, I'm not a fan of Lemmy's vocals, but does that mean I disrespect them? No. I still respect them and I still feel sorry for Lemmy's friends and family after his passing. I hope that person will now understand that you should always respect people, whether you care for them or not.

The truth is that throughout Wings and his solo career, he made very few amazing ALBUMS. Most of his albums are flawed, is what I mean. But the sheer volume of great songs throughout the whole span of career is ridiculous. I could easily make a 6-hour compilation and it would mostly be really dynamite stuff.

For the love of God...that guy needs to listen to "Spies Like Us" and reassess things. I maintain a few things about Paul McCartney's post-Beatles career: 1) every record he puts out is worth a listen - because you don't know what you might be missing out on. 2) every record - with few exceptions - has somewhere in realm of 3 to 6 songs that add well to his canon. Some albums have more, some albums have less 3) I don't think he knows what songs of his are better than other songs of his. Outside of the millions of things that Lennon offered him, one of the more important musical things he offered was a knowing ear that told him "that's good" and "that's not your best." He had that short period where he wrote with Elvis Costello and the two of them brought out a lot of great work with one another. He needed an editor. He needed an equal partner who was not his wife. Denny Laine, God rest his soul, was not that guy. 4) Unlike some of his peers, he actually matured as the years went on. 5) Band On the Run is a perfect album. Some say "Ram" is a perfect album, and I'll give them that. 6) The man's musical mind evolved from just putting out things that ROCK. 7) As much as Ringo, if not more than, he missed recording with the other Beatles. It's possible his talent was "diluted" by playing all the instruments (or at least knowing what he wanted from all the instruments), rather than only concentrating on just playing the bass and singing his vocals.

If anything, Paul is underrated.

There’s always that one Larry. Obviously he’s never listened to “Wings Over America.” These episodes are great and ultimately show who’s got the wit and intelligence to understand the humor, which is all of your subscribers…(except for one) Keep it up!

Some people may think that Paul is overrated but he's earned the right to be overrated. The trolls are just jealous because they haven't had a 60-year-plus career and can't create masterpieces like "Sgt. Pepper" or "Band On The Run". Paul McCartney is a master of high quality entertainment along with Larry Graves. 😊

Overrated is not the same as overexposed. McCartney has more hits than 10 Taylor Swifts standing on top of each other. You can’t possibly have no talent and have that many hits.

There have been McCartney songs I've liked and McCartney songs I didn't like, but the last thing I would ever accuse him of being is overrated. I've never heard anything from Flaming Pie, so I can't offer an opinion on it. But he is not, nor has he ever been, overrated.

As I mentioned in an earlier comment Larry,I don't know why people who can't stand Paul McCartney would listen to him for DECADES!,I wouldn't listen to someone I don't like for ten minutes let alone decades!,really that's pretty strange stuff right there! Bob

When you said that it's like disrespecting a family member, I felt that... Even though I'm only 22 years old, I still have been listening to Paul and The Beatles since I was 7 or 8 years old. He does feel like a family member in a very strange way... It's a very unique way which binds an artist to a fan that truly loves and respects and appreciates all of the things their favourite artist has showed them... All of those fun experiences I've had as I listened to his music... All of those sad times I've had and he was there to make me feel better... This is music and this is love.

Paul's solo career is actually insanely underrated...

Hi Larry. Your not ugly and your a funny guy. Your beauty comes from with in. Thanks for the info and entertainment

This guy hasn't got a clue (the McCartney commenter, not you Larry!). McCartney has no solo rock songs and he has just written silly little love songs and silly children's songs? I've noticed a lot of people, not just this guy, constantly reference either directly or by implication We All Stand Together by the Frog Chorus and talk about McCartney writing children's songs. It's one song. It was from a soundtrack he did for a children's animated movie, Rupert the Bear. It seems to stick in the mind of his noisy critics. It's because its a memorable earworm song for kids that they know from childhood or popular culture and they haven't even bothered to listen in full to any of his proper studio albums! 😂

He’s done some other “children’s songs” like Mary Had a Little Lamb and Tropic Island Hum, but like you mentioned it’s such a small part of his massive discography that it shouldn’t even matter. It’s just a ridiculous criticism.

YES THE ANSWER IS YES THANK YOU!!! I saw him December 2022 and he only played 20 songs straight at 80 years old! Not even the least bit impressive.

Paul will always be my favorite Beatle! I love how he can sing any type of music, Rock, pop, soft rock, classical, ballads, etc! His songs are catchy, emotional, powerful, and rocking! That’s what makes him versatile and one of the most talented musicians!🙌👍

I also think John has more timeless classics than Paul (compare it on youtube or spotify), but Paul throughout his career had big success, especially until the mid 80s, and every different music styles. A lot of rockers, although I like his ballads much more because I think some rockers are more on the weak side (for solo only!), while his ballads have great lyrics and melody. At the end of the day thats „pure McCartney“ that he will he remembered for and thats totally fine.

What a numpty. Obviously its not true that he never does rock, we could all point to many rock songs over the years, but Paul is a genius whose music goes way beyond the confinements of rock, which lets face it, can be a fairly simplistic genre.

For me, the rarest talent in the music industry is the capability to compose compelling melodies. For instance with as great of lyrics that Hal David wrote over the years, it’s Burt Bacharach’s melodies that are primarily responsible for the success of the Bacharach/David songs. In my opinion nobody comes close to McCartney’s number of compelling melodies composed over the years in the Beatles and post Beatles. It’s really remarkable. The man is a treasure that has allowed me to be continually entertained over the decades for such a small price.

I do know some people that feel that way about the Fabs and Paul and methinks they could be a bit jealous? By the way Record Collector has a special issue on Paul out now. They do those special issues on musicians as they did Elton John recently.

Paul is great. I don’t get why someone has to act like a jerk about his solo career. Especially when this guy knows how big of a fan you are. It IS like attacking family when you insult an artist to a fan. It’s honestly painful.

I've watched Paul play extremely intricate bass parts while singing intricate vocals. He's an alien. And a hit machine. Not easy.

I have seen Record Collectors on KZread, "rank" albums or songs by Paul McCartney over a long time, several decades now, and I find this type of "ranking" unfortunate, because there are bias comments. One collector will love an album like "Pipes of Peace" or "Red Rose Speedway" and another collector will class these albums as trash or weak or less than average on McCartney's talents. Then, after 35 years, the tables are turned, you get older and you give another listen to these songs and discover for the first time, that McCartney really performed these once hated albums and now love them. I have several charts, that I myself have ranked, being an avid collector of McCartney, and I have been surprised what songs and albums now, I appreciate, and I find loving most records, and the B-sides to Singles I love even more than A-sides. My favorite album has always been Band on the Run, until recently, since the new format 2024, I find the remixes have turned me off a bit, so now my favorite McCartney album is Back to the Egg, because of Denny, Juber, talents, continue to impress me. Your programs, Larry, are some of the best I've seen by far. Take care.

I have been a huge Paul McCartney fan for a long time now. He has always been my favorite beatle. I always liked some of his solo stuff but honestly never really explored it as much until a few years back. The more I listen and discover his solo material the more I realize just how much of a musical genius he is. I think if anything he is underrated. I think he caught a lot of criticism for the Beatles break up in the early 70s. I think this is a lot of reason his albums aren’t talked about even more. Also like you Larry I don’t love every single album or song. I do however love most of his work.

Maybe the most underrated artis of all time:

I understand the annoyance. Although, the letter writer is merely channeling an established narrative by a certain generation of male rock critics and biography writers, from Jann Wenner’s moves in the beginning of the 1970s to Mark Lewisohn’s more subtle, pseudo-neutral Paul belittling and John deification. For in-depth critical examinations of this narrative, see Erin Webbers Book The Beatles and the Historians, and especially the brilliant podcast Another Kind of Mind.

In regard to the comment you are responding too: Overrated? Underrated? Is there some official rating system that I'm not aware of? If a person does or doesn't like Paul McCartney, just say so. No need for anyone to imply that their personal opinions carry any more weight than anyone else's. Same goes for all of these greatest of all time statements that everyone is always making, it's your opinion nothing more nothing less.

I do not know how to even comment on this video. I mean Paul is the best. I love almost everything in his solo catalog.

Obviously, every artist has people who slag off their music, but there is something particularly annoying about people dissing Paul McCartney and I’m trying to work out why that is. I think it’s because McCartney‘s music has so much positivity and optimistic spirit. So if you enjoy his music, it seems particularly mean spirited to try and put him down. On a personal level, it also seems unfair because he seems to be a genuinely nice and friendly guy and he is quite unpretentious. He has always been happy to do children’s songs and other things which are not considered “cool” but he does them anyway because he loves doing it. The other annoying thing is when people who claim to be John Lennon fans start dissing Paul McCartney. This is also insulting to John Lennon, because if Paul is as bad as they say, why did John spend the most creative decade of his life in an equal songwriting partnership with him? A lot of these people just want to be contrarian and slag off something that other people enjoy. still, perhaps we should be grateful to them because in a way they remind us of why we love Paul’s music so much.

You could stop a stranger on the street and say, "Someone's knocking at the door..." or "When you were young and your heart was an open book..." and there's a pretty good chance they'd know the next line. Macca writes catchy lyrics to go with his catchy melodies. That's his number one approach to songwriting and he is a master at it. But try stopping a stranger and saying, "Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?" Then ask for the next line. "Huh?"
