#4 Too Much Rain: Great song from great Paul Solo album.
#57 One More Kiss: A RRS classic over kind of a pretentious, fake Rocker. "Hey kids, wave the sword," indeed!
#12 Eat At Home: Paul and Linda's awesome, Buddy Holly inspired ode to oral sex between and a man and woman!
#16 Some Days: Classic McCartney!
#20 Here Today: Heartfelt if a little too slick as recorded.
#24 Heart Of The Country: This was a killer as I love VC but Postulate Paul wins with me most often(#1 here excepted)
#28 Little Lamb Dragonfly: Powerful RRS track; I hear it as sung to John("How did two rights make a wrong?").
#33 When The Night: Postulate Era Paul rules with this cat!

Just an FYI, you can sort of automate these things by doing polls and suggesting that everyone pick one of the first two, second two, third two and fourth two. It's not perfect, but it'll keep from counting the votes. I put it together in the OP if you want since it's just getting started. Or you could create separate threads/polls for each pair.

#4 Too Much Rain vs. #61 Teddy Boy: TOO MUCH RAIN: best song on CHAOS an easy winner over average song from debut.
#8 Ballroom Dancing vs. #57 One More Kiss: Tough one. Like both of these, BALLROOM DANCING has a bit more musical variety so it gets my choice
#12 Eat At Home vs. #53 Not Such A Bad Boy: Easy choice of excellent rocker EAT AT HOME over an average rocker.
#16 Some Days vs. #49 Who Cares: I like Who Cares OK, but SOMEDAYS is an absolute McCartney classic.
#20 Here Today vs. #45 If You Wanna: See above, but substitute HERE TODAY for Somedays.
#24 Heart Of The Country vs. #41 Vintage Clothes: Probably my toughest choice, but I give it to HEART OF THE COUNTRY for nice guitar.
#28 Little Lamb Dragonfly vs. #37 Rinse The Raindrops: Easiest choice LITTLE LAMB DRAGONFLY a great song and Rinse The Raindrops is overly long pretentious crap.
#32 One Of These Days vs #33 When The Night: ONE OF THESE DAYS best song on MCCARTNEY II thus defeats average RRS track.

#4 Too Much Rain vs. #61 Teddy Boy (Too Much Rain. One of the best songs from one of his best albums, IMO. Never cared for Teddy Boy much.)
#8 Ballroom Dancing vs. #57 One More Kiss (One More Kiss. Neither is a favourite, but One More Kiss has a certain old world charm.)
#12 Eat At Home vs. #53 Not Such A Bad Boy (Eat At Home. One of my favourites from Ram. Rockabilly.)
#16 Somedays vs. #49 Who Cares (Somedays. This was difficult, I like both. I think it is fair to say that Somedays has come to be considered a late McCartney classic.)
#20 Here Today vs. #45 If You Wanna (Here Today. I do like If You Wanna, but Here Today is clearly the better song, I would say.)
#24 Heart Of The Country vs. #41 Vintage Clothes (Vintage Clothes. I love the medley from Memory Almost Full. It’s much superior to the one on Red Rose Speedway, IMO.)
#28 Little Lamb Dragonfly vs. #37 Rinse The Raindrops (Little Lamb Dragonfly. This was difficult also. I don’t rate either particularly highly, but a lot of people extol Little Lamb Dragonfly, so I’ll go along with them this time.)
#32 One Of These Days vs. #33 When The Night (One Of These Days. When The Night is one of the songs from Red Rose Speedway I would have likely deleted if I had compiled the album.)

#4 Too Much Rain vs. #61 Teddy Boy Easy win for "Too Much Rain."
#8 Ballroom Dancing vs. #57 One More Kiss And for "Ballroom Dancing." Is this the version from TOW or BROAD STREET; the latter is better.
#12 Eat At Home vs. #53 Not Such A Bad Boy Too much Linda vocals on the RAM track.
#16 Some Days vs. #49 Who Cares This is a tough one. "Who Cares" is one of my favs on ES, "Somedays" is one of the best on FP.
#20 Here Today vs. #45 If You Wanna I like "If You Wanna" quite a bit, and it would win if in the last two matches.
#24 Heart Of The Country vs. #41 Vintage Clothes "Vintage Clothes" would also beat any of the four below it.
#28 Little Lamb Dragonfly vs. #37 Rinse The Raindrops Maybe the two worst songs in this bracket face off, and one must advance. Oh well.
#32 One Of These Days vs #33 When The Night Although, "When The Night" is just about as bad as the two above it.

#4 Too Much Rain vs. #61 Teddy Boy TOO MUCH RAIN. Teddy Boy would have beat a lot of theses other songs.
#8 Ballroom Dancing vs. #57 One More Kiss BALLROOM DANCING. Big production pop versus bouncy country.
#12 Eat At Home vs. #53 Not Such A Bad Boy Oooh. This one hurts. EAT AT HOME gets the edge.
#16 Some Days vs. #49 Who Cares WHO CARES. An easy pick for me, although I like Some Days.
#20 Here Today vs. #45 If You Wanna IF YOU WANNA. Here Today is very moody. It doesn't fit in a playlist like If You Wanna does.
#24 Heart Of The Country vs. #41 Vintage Clothes HEART OF THE COUNTRY is a favorite.
#28 Little Lamb Dragonfly vs. #37 Rinse The Raindrops RINSE THE RAINDROPS. I have to go with the rocker. The little boy vocals on Little Lamb keeps it a guilty pleasure.
#32 One Of These Days vs #33 When The Night WHEN THE NIGHT could had been great. It's almost there. I never cared for One of These Days.

One tie here. If any matches are still tied when I'm ready for round 2 (which won't be for a while) I will give the higher seed the win.
