I like "The Mess". My least favorites would be "Check My Machine", "Temporary Secretary", Anything with Michael Jackson, particularly "The Man". That is horrible. I heard it described as a throw away from a Care Bears movie.

I like these, which I think qualify as obscure to the general populace:

Oh Woman, Oh Why
Powercut
Sally G
Spirits of Ancient Egypt
Daytime Nighttime Suffering
On The Way
Bogey Music
My first bass was a Rickenbacker...
My best bass is a Rickenbacker...
My last bass may very well be a Rickenbacker

I must be an idiot. I love Oh Woman, Oh Why! I love Sally G. I am not very fond of anything from McCartney II. Sorry Roosa!

I play Sally G every so often and I always ask if anybody in the crowd can name the artist. In the several times I've played it, I've yet to have anybody get it right.

"She took the part that was the heart of me....Sally G". I think we've all known someone like that at one time or another. One of my favorite Macca tunes. Like Simer, I didn't care for anything on McCartney II. I like the live verson of Sprits of Ancient Egypt. It's got a real good bass line.
I recently went back to playing a Rickenbacker bass. Its like meeting an old friend again

I'm not up on a lot of his solo stuff, but I heard him sing something that sounded like "Biker Like A Piker" on SNL one night and thought it had to be one of the worst songs ever.

Not that I want to start another Macca bashing thread.

From which album is that?

Beware My Love (some of his best singing, IMO, and one of the greatest intros of his solo career.
Rockestra Theme
Baby's Request
Dear Friend
Girl's School
Morse Moose and the Grey Goose
I've Had Enough

And then for albums that get little credit, my favorites are:
Back to the Egg
London Town
Wild Life
Andrew

Dragonfly from Red Rose Speedway.
If there isn't a 12 string Rickenbacker playing at my funeral, I'm leaving.
