Not a big fan of the Beatles or McCartney but I thought Band On The Run was a stroke of genius. Have not really listened to many of his solo albums. My late brother was a Beatles nut so I was exposed to many of their albums but it was when he brought home Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' from one of his stints in a submarine in the SA Navy that I sat up and took notice. Blew me away. Still does - even after all these years. I will never forget hearing 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' for the first time. I was completely mesmerised. Didn't understand what it was about at the time but that was part of it's appeal. I was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time and it opened a door to a whole new wonderful world. One I am still exploring.
