How many post-Beatle McCartney songs compare to what he did with the Beatles?

Question

This came up because, only recently, Paul McCartney songs are available for purchase on IPod Library (but not Beatle songs yet). Looking over the list, I noted only a handful of songs that can compare to much of his earlier work with the Beatles. These are, imo:

Live and Let Die
Maybe I'm Amazed
Junior's Farm
Admiral Halsey/Uncle Albert
Jet
Venus and Mars
Rock Show
Band on the Run

Am I missing something (or even being too generous)?

Answer 1

You may have missed a few, but you are correct. As an artist Paul McCartney was 2nd rate without his Liverpudlian mates, particularly John.
John and George on the other hand created some brilliant masterpieces. I recently picked up the CD version of Mind Games and have been playing it nearly continuously.
John: "Plastic Ono Band", "Mind Games", Imagine", and "Walls and Bridges"
George: "All Things", "Material World" "Dark Horse", "Cloud 9" even "Extra Texture" all blow away anything Paul could muster post-Beatles.
After giving "Band On The Run" a good listening to a couple of years ago I came to the conclusion that it has been (even by myself) over rated. "Venus and Mars" is actually better but less acclaimed and harder to get ahold of.

Answer 2

That's a good list. I like the whole McCartney solo album best.
