McCartney II is so underrated, though I wouldn't rank it above Ram. Even though McCartney's done lots of shit, I think people really do underestimate a lot of his solo material, which can be brilliant.

Imagine's highlights are better than MII's, but overall, not quite. But Oh My Love, How?, Jealous Guy, How Do You Sleep, I Don't Want To Be A Soldier...

His best is still Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.

At ten or eleven years old I remember listening to Jealous Guy on Imagine and thinking "why the hell is Imagine more popular than this one?" I still love that song. I really don't like much of Lennon's solo stuff, I like more of Pauls. I love All Things Must Pass by George Harrison.
