After Beatles : The Solo Years

[@DylancatP]

The ending was fantastic and so emotional I cried so sad that John had finally found peace and harmony which showed through his music and he was tragically murdered.

[@philipcone357]

The early McCartney albums, McCartney and Ram, need a disclaimer. In the United States.Rolling Stone Magazine, was the standard bearer in rock journalism. Jan Werner, the head of the magazine, had a relationship with John. Werner put the stop to positive reviews of McCartney work. On the McCartney review he had the critic re-write his review and to “not” like it. Other magazines would follow Rolling Stones lead.

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

Ram is the album I go to the most. I loved it then, I love it now.

[@stephendimino332]

Venus and Mars I still have on my rotation

[@turnsout5061]

I guess I'm not surprised that Ram didn't do well with critics. It's really it's own weird universe, and I'm sure wasn't what people were wanting / expecting to hear. However, to me it's the best album any of them put out after the breakup. It's just magical. Monkberry Moon Delight is probably my favorite track, so profoundly weird, yet joyous and just awesome. Only McCartney could have written and performed that. Great record.

[@CartersRemasters]

Ram is not better then Plastic Ono Band, or Band On The Run...I think because it was unfairly treated upon release, the pendulum of reception has swung the other way where it's being treated as some great perfect album. I think it's also popular because so many people thrive on feeling like they're contrarians. When in reality, Ram has been widely respected since the 1990s, and its contrarian these days to NOT think its a masterpiece, Its a good album, better then McCartney 1, sure, better then Some Time In New York, sure, but better then Imagine, Plastic Ono Band, All Things Must Pass, I don't think so.

[@MrThedonhead]

Easily the best album for me and wish he ignored the critics and carried on doing his eccentric only McCartney can do music. To me it's genius. Lennons only good album was plastic Ono band and that's mainly coz it's so raw and nothing like that had been done and all things must pass is obviously liked but I can't stand it, can't stand Georges voice and the production is horrible.

[@slappyabromowitz]

@@CartersRemasters Well, it’s subjective isn’t it? Those are all great records that you say are better, but there’s something charming about ram and the melodies, the harmonies, the sonic delight. I don’t think it’s an overcorrection. I think it is his masterpiece.

[@georgiaflame9743]

[@doctornov7]

Most art that is later considered 'classic' is initially poorly received. The lesson is never to trust critics.

[@ClandestineRecords]

"Ram" is great!!!

[@kyleh1127]

it's mostly because of the fact that john, under the influence of klein, did a ton of interviews at the time bashing paul and his time in the beatles, and paul remained relatively silent throughout it all. Also, Jan wenner, the co-founder of rolling stone magazine and huge influence on most rock journalism at the time, had a huge hard-on for paul and solely blamed him for the breakup of the beatles, so led the narrative that paul was the 'pop fluff' songwriter and that john was the 'true artist', and that influenced many journalists to lean negatively towards paul and favour the other three in attempts to gain favour with what was fast becoming the number one rock press source at the time. I'm sure allen klein factors in there somewhere, but I've not come across any concrete statements towards that opinion.

[@hmm3484]

“Ram” isn’t any better now than it was then.

[@marguskiis7711]

Interesting thing is that John and Paul looked each other`s work a lot. The overly simple "McCartney" clearly inspired the sparse production of "JL & POB", "Ram" clearly inspired the more corny production of "Imagine". "Wild Life" was somewhat Paul`s answer to "JL and POB", even more radical.

[@hw343434]

[@JackJonner]

Good stuff, well worth a watch. When I think of the big, the huge hit songs of the 70s I don’t think of any by the ex Beatles apart from Imagine. They were massive in the 60s when together but as individuals they were just average and sometimes not even that.

[@strathman7501]

What makes an impression on each of us as a "huge hit song" is subjective, but the fact is that by any measure Harrison's My Sweet Lord was one of the biggest hits of the decade, topping all UK sales in 1971, hitting #1 all over the world and winning multiple indusrtry awards for Single of the Year and the Ivor Novello for "Most Performed Work of the Year". Meanwhile, McCartney and Wings were in the very top tier of pop/rock acts of the 70s globally. In terms of #1 Billboard single success Wings were only just a whisker below the two all-conquering new-generation mega-acts of Elton John and the BeeGees, earning 5 Billboard #1s (Elton had 6) plus the biggest selling non-charity single of all time in the UK in 1978. Not so average, i think.

[@neonfroot]

I prefer the Beatles as solo artists more than together. It really shows their individual merits. I think its easy to only love the glamor persona of them as a collective.

[@PaulFormentos]

Ozzy and Townshend would beg to differ

[@vanillacreem816]

Disagree . After All Things Must Pass, George's solo career went nowhere until he teamed up with Tom Petty later on . In fact he got into heavy drug usage during much of the 70s because of his lackluster solo career which caused him a lot of depression. Rumor also has it he was sort of jealous of Led Zeppelin's mega success during the 70s. Can't blame him, he was part of the biggest rock group in the world during the 60s, after all that fame for nearly a whole decade, It must have been a tough adjustment for him as a solo musician in the 70s.

[@We_All_Seek_Truth]

John was acting very immature after the breakup and none of the bigwig critics called him on it. "How Do You Sleep" was penned in the aftermath of Paul McCartney's successful suit in the London High Court to dissolve the Beatles as a legal partnership. Didn't John want the breakup also? Maybe he did and the legal partnership is a separate question that the musical partnership, I don't know. However, I also think Paul employed his own immature antics. So it becomes the old "who STARTED it FIRST?" debate. ("Double redundancy" on purpose.) They both did. I think I blame John more for the breakup, which was possibly inevitable anyway, because John just forced the band to accept Yoko as a fifth Beatle. There are MANY who can be described as a "fifth Beatle" but she was definitely one at that point. He wanted her to have full say in musical and other decisions! And the studio atmosphere was radically changed just by her presence. The other three have all said so.

[@jrpipik]

These days all Paul's early albums get more critical respect. In the early 70s critics wanted what they thought of as relevant political and spiritual messages. Today critics tend to look at the entertainment value, and Paul's unfailing melodic sense and arrangement ability gets a lot more respect. Meanwhile some of John's political and even personal themes are viewed less favorably than at the time. At some point the pendulum will swing the other way.
