The Beatles: 10 Best Solo Songs

5. Band On The Run - Paul McCartney

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc-7G2OSsBY Band on the Run is pretty much Wings€™ most famous song, and you can easily see why. A three part medley behemoth, with a slow ballad section transitioning into a funky rock tune, and then, lastly, into a country-ish kinda sound, the track reached number 1 in the US, was met with widespread critical acclaim, and pretty much guaranteed McCartney€™s sustained popularity. Basically inspired by Paul€™s love of pot and the negative public reaction to that, the song has some pretty awesome desperado, freedom-fighter themed lyrics, and above all else is just a genuinely well put together and performed song.
