I should probably add this to my chart. My second favorite Paul album. It's pretty wooly and raw, but it's fun to hear how inventive Paul was at this phase.

I just listened to this yesterday, what an easy album with some of Paul's best "goofy" material as well as some real classics. A great spin!

Was hated at first by critics, but they eventually turned around, according to Wikipedia. I don't remember it being hated, I just remember Uncle Albert Admiral Halsey being amazing.

I'd rank it about 5th at the very highest behind:

All Things Must Pass
Plastic Ono Band
Band On The Run
Imagine

i would rank

Ram
All Things Must Pass
Plastic Ono Band
McCartney
Band on the Run
Imagine

i used to like band on the run a lot more but i just find myself v annoyed w it these days. imagine i used to think was ok but now i think its p trash (some great songs, for sure, but so many are just unlistenable)

other than ram, our rankings are p similar!
