So in the name of simplicity we will focus only on the songs where someone who isn’t called Paul McCartney is singing lead vocals.Īnd for the sake of actually inspiring you to go out and rediscover some of the bands rarely mentioned moments, I will rank it in order of best to worst. Unfortunately, due to an acute lack of live streaming services during Wings’ recording sessions we will never truly know how these songs were built who contributed what riff here and which lyric there, etc. In this article I will be showing you that not all of the best songs from Wings’ discography belong solely to the man who wrote ‘Yesterday’, hard as that is to believe. Instead of focussing on the main man, the obvious figurehead of the band, we are going to be shining a spotlight on the other songs that make up the complete Wings oeuvre. Though when you break it down, Paul needed Wings and the band was a group effort (in theory) so we are here to re-address that balance somewhat.

Wings had a total of five lineups and each of them contained people who too wanted to be collaborative songwriters, but unfortunately none of them ever had the same knack for churning out hits like Paul, and thus an imbalance was created. Not only that but Paul also sang said lions share of the tunes, played more than half the instruments on certain tracks, and all around seemed to hog the lime light a little too much.īut despite all this, Paul on his own was not Wings in the same way he was not The Beatles. However, it didn’t take long before rumours of the band existing to solely function as a McCartney vehicle began to make the rounds.Īnd can you blame them? Macca hardly hired true peers to play with, instead opting to work with people he could hang out with rather than collaborate with, his face was plastered all over the promotional material, and well over 90% of Wings output was credited to McCartney. It was a venue for him to keep carrying on with music, without the vulnerability of continuing as an official solo act. Wings was a band formed out of the ashes of The Beatles.
