Like most McCartney stuff, Band on the Run is shallow.

Hear it first time, it's, "Oh wow!"

Next time and for the next dozen plays, yes, it's pretty good.

After that it's just background noise and after a couple of months, it's "Not THIS again, jeez, don't we have owt WORTH listening to?"

My wife loves it. I cringe when it starts.

It is McCartney's best post Beatles work, but a classic album???

No!!!

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars... that is a classic album or U2's Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby.... both classics!

I swear i wanna beat him sensless for writing that song.

Band on the run is a good album of the day,not a classic though.

"Mull of Kintyre", LOL, my old boy told me he'd heard a new song on the radio in his car, by McCartney, and was it called "B*llocking time"?

McCartney is overrated but not quite as overrated as Lennon. Apart they both make terrible music but together they were excellent.
