Personally, I don't get why Wild Life is seen as one of Paul's worst. It has some great stuff on, Tomorrow, Dear Friend, Some People Never Know are all very good imo.

Jeeze, this script was written by an AI wasn't it? This is some of the most mechanical and awkward phrasing I have ever heard.

Let's cut Ringo some slack, during that poor period he was hitting bottom and getting sober

Wild Life is such a groovy cool album and so underrated. I would love him to do the Wild Life song live in concert!

I'm no Gen-Z but a damned boomer and Wild Life was always one of my fav Macca's albums. Just listen to it: no pretense, no over-production, no statements, just plain good soulful music.

To me, extra texture is easily George’s weakest. It’s abundantly clear that album was his lowest. Gone Troppo at least has its moments, it’s self aware and it doesn’t care about what you think of it. Extra Texture is self aware but it wants to be approved of desperately. If you remove The Guitar Can’t Keep From Crying it’s easily George’s worst and even with that track it struggles. Also, dark horse is much better than people give it credit for. Shocked it got a mention.

Good God, someone actually listened to ALL of Ringo's solo albums? 😁

I have to disagree with you about mind games I think that's a great album and I think the new upcoming remixed box set is going to sound even better. A side note: For those of you that can't stand press to play I suggest you get the bootleg the alternate press the play. This CD is so much better than the released version. It is more stripped down and I guarantee you'll like it better.

I really love Driving Rain, it's filled with so much emotion, showing both grief and hope, of losing his loved one and finding a new love. And it's very diverse musically. Work of a genius.

Uhhhh, when exactly has Kisses From The Bottom ever been "fighting for the worst position"???? I absolutely adore it and I've never seen anything but positivity for it. This is literally the first time I've ever seen anybody say anything bad about Kisses From The Bottom lmao.

I would use "weakest" instead of "worst".

You hit it when saying about the poor production of Lennon's records as a solo artist. He didn't have the patience to get the sound right.

Being a fan of the Beatles since 1963, I think there was a hard lesson learned by all 4 of them. There was a lot of ego tripping amongst them near the end of The Beatles. They were a band of 4 men that had too much talent, each wanting to take a turn at being the lead man. Lennon and Mccartney where not letting George or Ringo have much input to the song writing. They soon found out after they split up that without the other 3 with them they would never be as sensational as they were as The Beatles.

I 100% disagree with Press To Play, when I first heard it, it excited me and held my interest. So many great moments: Stranglehold, Talk More Talk, Footprints, Press, Move Over Busker, Only Love Remains, and even the B-Sides like Write Away & Tough On The Tightrope. If I ever meet McCartney, I’m going to say that I love it and it’s in my top 5 McCartney albums.

Wonderwall Music is a fun album to listen to.

"Poor" sound on John's solo stuff i think was his liking of 50's rock and roll with the echo and stuff

George actually doesn't have bad albuns. Ringo's "Bad boy" is not a bad album, I consider his worst "Old Wave" which some people like. Paul has a lot of bad albuns and John unfortunately decided to put Yoko together with him, and we all know "Sometime in New York City" is his worst

I’ve always liked Wildlife, it had a certain charm to it.

I heavily disagree with your pick of kisses on the bottom as one of Paul's worst. As someone who grew up listening to that generation of music, I loved it. His cover of bye bye blackbird, accentuate the positive and my echo, my shadow and me were so beautiful to listen to. My funny Valentine was absolutely fantastic

To be fair, and not to sound morbid, Paul put out records 44 years longer than John and through his 70's, there were many more opportunities to lay an egg.

Tbh, driving Rain is a beautiful album

I always thought "Dark Horse" was an amazing album. Commercially - not the best, but the atmosphere of the album is unique. "So Sad", off this album, is among my favourite Harrisongs, along with "Simply Shady", "Far East Man", "It Is He" - all of this same album!

"Dream Away" from Gone Troppo is one of my favorite Harrison solo songs. It's the song that plays at the end of the film Time Bandits. That's where I first heard it and it took me forever to find the CD which had been long out of print at the time.

I have to admit, saying that Driving Rain was a horrible album is a mistake. I thought it was a great album.

I’m going with “Press to Play” from Paul McCartney. ‘85-‘86. I was 16 at the time & a big Beatles-fan. It was the first time that Paul’s music seemed uninspired compared to what everyone else was doing.

For me, I think John's 1972 album "Sometime In New York City" was a real misfire, the songs are too topical, and not universal enough.

Stop stealing la hemeroteca content

The Beatles were great. But, it was obvious that over time Paul simply ran out of material. He would crank out formulaic crap endlessly, but nothing really interesting or memorable. We'll never know what John would have done, of course, but he had some great stuff just before he died. George had a flurry of creativity right after the Beatles, and he persisted and had many wonderful songs. Personally, I felt that George's post Beatle work was the best of all of them. Ringo? Well, he produced crap.

Mind Games, in my opinion, is John Lennon's best album. As for the sound, John Lennon himself admitted he was going for a Phil Spector-esque type of mix for the album, which, I admit, took me a few listens to get past and appreciate the songs. If you listen to outtakes of the album, though, it sounds like it was well recorded.

Without even watching the video, my vote: Paul - Press to Play; Ringo - Ringo the 4th; George- Dark Horse; John - Sometime in NYC.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend also I have subscribed to the channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

I actually love "Sometime in NYC" ... my 3rd favorite Lennon album ... as for "Gone Tropo" I actually love about half of the album ... I can't even name you 3 songs from "George Harrison", Somewhere in England" and "33&1/3" [and George is my favorite Beatles] that goes saying

According to critics Roy Carr and Tony Tyler, authors of three editions of the Beatles Illustrated Record, ending after 1980, these were the worst of all four solo Beatles albums: Ringo: Sentimental Journey. Those moldy oldies were below Ringo's ability. John: Some Time in New York City. Too outspoken and political. Paul: Wild Life. I'll just say I was unimpressed. George: Dark Horse. According to Roy and Tony, it was a boring album. So I never bothered to get it.

Gone Troppo is worst? You gotta be kidding! Gone Troppo is beautiful, relaxing, spiritual music from George. It's one of my favorites.

I agree about Wild Life. It's my least played McCartney album. He even admitted in an interview that you have to like him to be able to like it.

I always see a copy of Wild Life in the record bins at the Goodwill lol

I'm a proud member of the Gone Troppo fan club, which maybe consist only of me. I agree that the 80s synthesizer sound hasn't aged well and there are a few duds on the record, I love side 2, there are a number of fantastic deep cuts on it. Somewhere in England would be my choice for his worst record, though it's certainly not a bad album.

8:33 does anyone know where this is from

This was a great episode and I agree with your choices.👍

¿Los vídeos de la hemeroteca salen de acá o al revés?

I haven't heard most of these albums. As I get older I wonder if I should take the time and effort to listen to them or if I should just attempt to sit in a state of musical bliss until my end comes calling. Maybe I'll flip a coin. Heads, I listen - tails, I don't.

Ringo’s best solo work was Caveman.

I really love wild life, I just really like the sounds on it, the title track has some really nice guitars and vocal melodys towards the end of the song

I'm quite fond of George Harrison's final solo album, "Cloud Nine." It was clearly just George with a little help from his closest friends having fun again. I love the lead track with the back-and-fourth interplay between Clapton and Harrison's guitars. For "final solo albums," it wasn't a bad way to go out. It was nice to hear him with Gary Wright, Elton John and Ringo again. I always found it strange that Paul once again didn't want to take part, especially for something like "When We Was Fab."

REALLY GONE TROOPO nah fuck this

i'm no Gen Z-er, but I really like Wild Life. For me, Paul's worst is easily Egypt Station, with Driving Rain not too far behind. Even George's worst albums are pretty damn good. I love Gone Troppo. I'd say his worst is Somewhere In England, and I still like that album. Some Time in NYC is pure rubbish. I'll leave Ringo be. In addition to his great early 70's albums, he's had some other good ones, like Time Takes Time and Vertical Man.

Bad Boy was , and is my favorite Ringo record . I think it has aged better over the years , and has been getting a second , more favorable look at by critiques. . Also, some of Ringos best work has been his albums since Time takes Time . Solid efforts on many of them , and sadly , if this was the seventies , he probably would have had some air play again .

my worst: Paul: Press to Play John: Mind Games (having taken out his 3 avant-gard albums) George: Somewhere in England Ringo: Bad Boy

The worst of The Beatles solo albums would be a career highlight for most artists...

I always found Gone Troppo to be an upbeat and fun listen. I know those synthesizers are a bit much but I still enjoy the album..

My takes! I'll take Wild Life any day - maybe substitute that album that was sold through Starbucks. But yeah, Sometime in NYC - dreadful. Ringo: The Polydor Years? - What? No love for 'Drowning in the Sea of Love'? 😉 Finally: I'll take Gone Troppo over one of the laryngitis albums any day. (And...yuck - was this video voiced by AI? 🤖)

Pretty good video. But please do away with AI announcers.

I think George Harrison's self titled album sold below a thousand copies when it was initially released. Closer to the regular Ringo album in sales. I think that should be a candidate for worst album for Harrison.

George released an album of moog noise. I don't know the name of the album.. It is now in pieces in a landfill somewhere.

I have to chime in here and make it my life’s duty to stop the hatred on Wild Life ASAP. That album is nothing short of incredible. People judge it based solely off the first two songs being “Bip Bop” and “Mumbo”. This album is a constant companion, it lives with you, it removes all of life’s pretense and self importance and just gives you gorgeous melodies and textures that sound exactly how the album cover looks. The sessions are just as good, like all great albums there’s a world inside this one LP. The record was inspired by Bob Dylan’s “New Morning” which is another genius underrated overlooked record because people are listening with pretense. Forget all that you think you know about Paul/Wings/Wild Life and just listen to it for what it truly is.

I like Gone Troppo. It’s light hearted and fun, mostly. For me, it’s ranked somewhere in the middle of George’s albums. Extra Texture and somewhere in England would be on bottom for me

Wild Life has always been a GREAT album. I played this a lot when I took a few years to myself after high school before getting a job and going back to school. It’s just a carefree vibe to it which I very much related to at the time. Everyone kept comparing Macca’s early work to Abbey Road and Pepper, and you shouldn’t be. Macca went low-fi on his early solo work and to me created that genre.

Sooooooooooo wrong when discussing Paul’s worst albums. Soundtrack or no soundtrack, “Give My Regards To Broad Street” is McCartney’s low point. “Pipes Of Peace” is down there, too. As for Ringo, you are correct by pointing to the post-Apple years - 1976-1981. “Ringo The 4th”, “Ringo’s Rotogravure” (mispronounced in the video) and “Bad Boy” are the low points of Ringo’s solo career, but you have to consider “Stop And S,ell The Roses” and “Old Wave” part of that dead period for Ringo. To dismiss the rest of Ringo’s career is blatant idiocy. His remarkable artistic comeback began with 1992’s terrific, “Time Takes Time” and from there, Ringo produced some of the finest albums of his solo career - “Vertical Man”, “I Wanna Be Santa Claus” (YES, his Christmas album is terrifically fun), “Ringo Rama” and “Choose Love”. George is the most consistent of the four former Beatles. One could argue that George never released a bad album - just a few hit and miss ones. “Extra Texture (Read All About It)” is probably the weakest of the bunch. Oh, “Gone Troppo” is an under appreciated gem. Clean out your ears. Concentrating on 1970-1980, it’s absolutely all on “Some Time In New York City” when discussing John’s catalogue. End of discussion. Just mentioning “Mind Games” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll” as being lesser albums, officially designates you as a hack.

I guess I must be the only one who like and appreciate George's GONE TROPPO. I think it was better than Extra Texture or Living in the Material World. Found it to be upbeat...and excitedly different.

Oh, good video, it was a very good translation of the original La Hemeroteca video. Please do not allow copying content to be normalized

I never got into any solo records, but I liked Wings.

I called it for Sometime in NYC and Wildlife. Ringo ha a few bad ones so it was hard to choose. For George I picked Extra Texture

I’m surprised that Menlove Avenue was included in the posthumous albums mention. As nice as it was to have three posthumous albums in the 80’s (Milk And Honey, Live In New York City and Menlove Avenue), to my ears, of the three, only Live In New York City was more than worthy of release.

I was shocked when I first listened to Wild Life, I really enjoyed it. It’s not quite Ram or Band on The Run but it’s got some real good tracks

I happen to like Gone Troppo. In fact, I like it a lot. There are some great songs on it, Wake Up My Love, That's The Way It Goes, Dream Away. Extra Texture on the other hand...

Wildlife is a masterpiece! Wild Life (I actually prefer the 1972 live version) Some People Never Know Tomorrow Dear Friend Those 4 songs are some of his best songs!

Totally agree with you. Unfortunately i owned all of those turkeys

Any John Lennon song with Yoko on backing is a crime against rock music.

Gone Troppo is my favorite George album. I think every song on that album is amazing. Extra Texture should take that spot, and even that one is great. 😤😤😤

I join the Driving Rain" loving community.

When you said “Mind Games” was poorly produced i was thinking maybe this guy is playing ….. mind games. The song is absolutely awesome and not a poor production. Go listen to it again please.

10:44 OH MY GOD! THAT PERM!!! NEVER SEEN THIS!!! WHY GEORGE???

They could make a double LP compilation of the worst BEATLES solo tracks, package it in a plain brown cover and call it ‘The #hite Album’

Old wave was probably Ringo's worst and the very lowest point of his career as it wasn't even released in the US or UK

I’m glad someone else agrees with me that his production was largely awful. Imagine I so badly produced it hurts.

Gotta say, Lennon’s ‘Rock and Roll’ was brilliant (as a cover).

As a Beatles fan since 1963 and a fan who purchased the vast majority of their solo albums as they came out well into the 2000's, I think you can pretty much pick any of Ringo's albums, except "Ringo" from 1973. Even with a little help from his friends on several other efforts, it's hard to find a solid track to listen to. For George, he was pretty much spent after "Living in the Material World," so anything after that could make the list. For John, I have to go with "Sometime in New York City." Aside from a couple of tracks and the live give-away LP pretty much a horrible effort in a musical collaboration with Yoko. For Paul, I'll go with "McCartney II." "Coming Up" was just too much to handle for someone spoiled by tracks like "Yesterday," "Oh Darling" and "Let It Be."

I'm a millennial, and I don't know what the general outlook of my generation on Wild Life really is. But personally, I wish people would stop sullying it. There are several good songs on it. Tomorrow, I Am Your Singer, and the title track are some of the best. Dear Friend interests me in that it sounds like Paul wanted to bring the quarrel between him and John down, even though he was technically the one to start it.

This guy kept annoying me, wanting to be friends. So I gave him as a gift, "The Best of Yoko Ono." He no longer bothers me.

"woman is the ****** of the world" Is a masterpiece

So many to choose from. Sir Paul still has a few in him.

When I was 12 or 13, I bought Tug Of War by Paul when it came out. I was a young Beatles fan so I was excited. I was so unimpressed that I never listened to it again.

"Gone Troppo" is a good tropical laidback album. The percussion's work is excellent and the songs are very good or excellent, except "baby don't run away" a little boring. The keyboards don't age well on few songs, maybe, but I love listening to this album on summer holidays. "I really love you" makes me laugh a lot and "Greece" and "that's the way it goes" are my favourite. It's too automatic for many people to consider that it's the worst from George. Just listen to it again.

John doesn't really have a bad album but i have to choose i would say the Unfinished Music Trilogy just bc its a mixed bag of tunes. Paul has a lot of albums which leads to some entries being weak but Wildlife is underrated George has gone troppo While Ringo is Ringo 😂

Imagine was self-masterbatory and tone deaf. I'd rather listen to anything Ringo put out. But yes, that is the meme. Good job. I can't wait to see what other hights you have.

Sadly, John’s worst albums were the ones put out posthumously - Menlove Ave and the live one. I was shocked how good STINYC is the first time I heard it after the bad raps it gets. WITNOTW is one of his greatest recordings. Gone TROPPO is decent too, especially the title track and all of Side 2.

Any of their solo records is a Rolls Royce to every other "music maker " on the planet , so hard to be in a profession for the rest of us with these four English lads knocking us out the ball park with every record !

Macca - McCartney 3....George - Dark Horse....Ringo - Sentimental Journey...JL - (don't think you can count Some time or DF as they are half YO lps)...so...probably Walls and Bridges.

Sometime in New York City. I'm a Lennon fan, but that record sucks hard.

"New York City" is one of John's hardest rocking solo tunes. But, yes, the rest of the album is pretty terrible. If I had been there I would have said release "New York City" as a single with maybe "John Sinclair" as the B-side and destroy the rest.

Maybe I'm amazed is Paul's best 👍👍

I think you missed on Lennon. 2 Virgins is the worst album Lennon has done.

"Gone Troppo" isn't a bad album. He's better than "Extra Textrure".

My gosh is the narrator AI in this video?

Wild life was a good album. All the Beatles solo albums still have that Beatles flavor

"Wildlife" was recorded in 6 days in New York. Besides being rushed, I think it's a pretty good album. Not his best, but certainly not his worst in my opinion.

Driving Rain was fine for its time. But hasn’t aged well over time for 3 reasons 1) Released during loud wars 2) Love Songs about Heather Mills, a marriage that ended badly 3) Post 9/11 propaganda song freedom .

The answer is always Ringo

Rumor has it George was extremely jealous of Led Zeppelin during their hey day in the 70s. Understandable. Having the type of success and fame he had in the 60s as a Beatle and then to watch that fame and popularity shift to another band in the 70s While his own solo stuff after “All Things Must Pass “was garbage was probably a bitter pill for him to swallow. I betting that’s what sent him on years of extreme drug abuse during that time.

No mention of Phil Spector's production work on John's songs? Malpractice.
