Being, quite literally, disgusted ("Goodnight Tonight" ?! "Say Say Say" ??!! "Temporary Secretary" ???!!! - Y'all can't be serious!) with the recent, so-called "Paul McCartney's 40 Greatest Solo Songs" in Rolling Stone magazine (OK, so it's Jann Wenner and who exactly has taken that guy seriously since the early '70s?), I decided to make my own list. Except it's a Top 45. And it's in chronological order, and ballad-heavy during the '80s. So what else is new? It's classic Macca!
