Biography

As Beatlemania was transforming rock ’n’ roll from passing teen fad to permanent pop-cultural movement, Paul McCartney (born in Liverpool in 1942) became the driving force behind the band’s rapid, dramatic maturation. In just two years, he had graduated from the Little Richard worship of 1963’s “I Saw Her Standing There” to the exquisite orchestral balladry of “Yesterday”—a shift that intensified the contrast between McCartney and his increasingly acerbic songwriting partner, John Lennon. But as The Beatles’ entered their late-’60s experimental phase—during which Lennon’s avant-garde impulses came to the fore—McCartney’s traditionalism constituted its own form of radicalism. Within the band’s psychedelic milieu, his embrace of pre-rock forms, like classical (“Eleanor Rigby”) and English music-hall serenades (“When I’m Sixty-Four”), felt no less surreal than The Beatles' use of tape-loop freak-outs and sitar drones. (And this is to say nothing of Paul's sublime bass playing, which elevated the four-string from rhythmic undercurrent to melodic focal point.) His post-Beatles albums have proven equally uncanny and influential: 1971’s art-folk opus Ram provided the lo-fi schematic for future generations of DIY home-recording artists, while the arena-rattling roar of “Jet”, from McCartney's subsequent band Wings’ 1973 LP Band on the Run, shows why he’s become a muse to hard rockers such as Dave Grohl. And by continually collaborating with the hitmakers of the day—from Michael Jackson in the 1980s to Rihanna and Kanye West in the 2010s—he has remained a voracious pop omnivore, as connected to music's past as its future. - Apple Music

Paul McCartney

i can’t stand this song this year idk why

My nemesis Christmas song

VILE

I'd rather I run get num 1 tbf then someone who already has been num 1 reclaiming it simply cuz of reset

As the kids would say "goofy ahh song"

Speaking of the year Pink Floyd got the Christmas number one, this was in the Top 10 on Christmas week 1979...

Yeah I've never got the appeal of this one...!

harry styles live lounge cover is better and radio 1 seems to agree

Ophealia still top 20 is pretty impressive, gosh it's busy in here 1 song per page trying to catch up 🤣

This should really have been left in the 20th century - justice for 'Wombling Merry Christmas' as far as "fun" 70s ones go

I am not a fan of 70s Paul McCartney if having one of the most boring songs of all time as the decades biggest song, he releases this annoying Christmas song, not sure why it is continuely popular when other 70s better songs like Slade fall out of favour.

This one has really soured on me this year
