Paul McCartney: Wings- 'Band on the Run'

Catchy pop album with great songs like the title track, 'Jet', and 'Helen Wheels'. Recorded in Legos, Nigeria with very basic production. Considered by many to be one of the best albums, sonicly, of the 70's.

John Lennon: 'Imagine'

'Imagine' and 'Jealous Guy' are FM radio staples untill the end of time, but I feel the rest of the album is hit-and-miss. The very nasty 'How Do You Sleep' is a direct attack on Paul, who never rebutted publicly because he was afraid of Lennon's sharp wit. Phil Spector wall of sound production.

George Harrison: 'All Things Must Pass'

A gracefull, beautifull, album of rock and slow ballads. 'Beware of Darkness', 'Wah-wah', 'My Sweet Lord' for a triple album there's remarkably little filler. More Spector 'Wall of sound', but it sounds better suited to the music than 'Imagine' does.

I know there's gonna be 'Plastic Ono Band', 'Dark Horse' and 'At The Speed of Light' fans that are going to dispute my choices.
