#2 1985 vs. #63 To You Easy--and I like "To You" OK
#6 Dear Boy vs. #59 Brown-Eyed Handsome Man If I was voting on the cover based on the video, it would win. I'm not.
#10 Some People Never Know vs. #55 Call Me Back Again Not crazy about either. "Some People" may be the best song on WL, but that's akin to be the best ice hockey player from Saudi Arabia
#14 That Was Me vs. #51 Riding To Vanity Fair "That Was Me" needed some more work on the lyrics, but that bass line carries it to a win.
#18 Friends To Go vs. #47 Baby's Request Toughest in the set, I adore both. Both would win against the next two.
#22 Man We Was Lonely vs. #43 Single Pigeon Linda's vocals on "Lonely" get old.
#26 Daytime Nightime Suffering vs. #39 Smile Away Easy one.
#30 Calico Skies vs. #35 No Words Close, but I adore "No Words," while the words--the third verse--of "Calico Skies" bugs me a bit.

#2 1985 vs. #63 To You 1985 is near the top of Paul's best.
#6 Dear Boy vs. #59 Brown-Eyed Handsome Man DEAR BOY - Anything from Ram is going to show strong.
#10 Some People Never Know vs. #55 Call Me Back Again This one's pretty close. SOME PEOPLE NEVER KNOW is a little better.
#14 That Was Me vs. #51 Riding To Vanity Fair THAT WAS ME is a lot of fun. I don't quite get Vanity Fair.
#18 Friends To Go vs. #47 Baby's Request BABY'S REQUEST is a guilty pleasure.
#22 Man We Was Lonely vs. #43 Single Pigeon MAN WE WAS LONELY is in great territory.
#26 Daytime Nightime Suffering vs. #39 Smile Away SMILE AWAY is a fun rocker. Daytime misses the mark for me.
#30 Calico Skies vs. #35 No Words NO WORDS is more what I like to listen to.
Not advancing Call Me Back Again is my only regret here.

#2 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five vs. #63 To You (Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five. The exciting climax to the Band On The Run album.)
#6 Dear Boy vs. #59 Brown Eyed Handsome Man (Dear Boy. Possibly the best song on Ram.)
#10 Some People Never Know vs. #55 Call Me Back Again (Some People Never Know. The best song on Wings Wild Life. This was close though. Paul’s singing on Call Me Back Again is impressive.)
#14 That Was Me vs. #51 Riding To Vanity Fair (Riding To Vanity Fair. This was close too; I think both are outstanding.)
#18 Friends To Go vs. #47 Baby’s Request (Friends To Go. This one was easy for me.)
#22 Man We Was Lonely vs. #43 Single Pigeon (Single Pigeon. This was the hardest matching for me to decide upon.)
#26 Daytime Nightime Suffering vs. #39 Smile Away (Smile Away. I love the guitar, while DNS has never really grabbed me. And shouldn’t it be night time, or night-time?)
#30 Calico Skies vs. #35 No Words (Calico Skies.)

#2 1985 vs. #63 To You-NINETEEN HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE is an easy choice here. I love how that song builds.
#6 Dear Boy vs. #59 Brown-Eyed Handsome Man-I like both of these, so I'll go with the original DEAR BOY
#10 Some People Never Know vs. #55 Call Me Back Again-While a bit too long, SOME PEOPLE NEVER KNOW is the better song here.
#14 That Was Me vs. #51 Riding To Vanity Fair-THAT WAS ME is a really cool song!
#18 Friends To Go vs. #47 Baby's Request-Toughest call. BABY'S REQUEST gets the nod.
#22 Man We Was Lonely vs. #43 Single Pigeon-SINGLE PIGEON is an underrated RRS gem.
#26 Daytime Nightime Suffering vs. #39 Smile Away-Love DAYTIME NIGHTTIME SUFFERING. Easy win over nonsense rocker.
#30 Calico Skies vs. #35 No Words-CALICO SKIES is one of Paul's very best songs. Top 5 material (at least) for me.

#2 1985: I love "To You" which is one of the only songs from "Egg" that doesn't make me puke and likewise "1985" is a great song from Paul's otherwise sell-out BOTR where critics forced Paul back into his "Beatles' Box" thus ending the Postulate Era.
#6 Dear Boy: Okay, LOL, here is my beloved DB from Ram not to be confused with "Dear Friend" as I did in an earlier Round(I love both). The Chuck Berry cover here is fantastic but DB is sublime.
#10 Some People Never Know: Amazing song fom the amazing WWL versus an overwrought obnoxious screamer from Paul's most fakey album, V & M! This is "Oh!Darling Part 2" but that is not a good thing for me!
#51 Riding To Vanity Fair: Awesome Chaos song wins versus a good MAF song. "That Was Me" is better than that horribly preachy song, "Early Days."
#18 Friends To Go: Another amazing Chaos song with Paul channeling George. BR is one of Paul's better Granny songs but it is still a Granny song and in 1979 as a teen I was like, "WTF, Paul dude?! Just say no to Disco and Granny Music!" Paul had broken our hearts with the Disco "Goodnight Tonight" earlier.
#22 Man We Was Lonely: Two delightful Postulate cuts but "Lonely" is so real, we feel Paul's pain!
#39 Smile Away: SA is one of my favorites from Paul! Sell-out, faux "Beatle Paul" would never do a "Smile Away" after BOTR! Thank God, or the deity of your choice, that Paul had artistic integrity in the Postulate Era! In Paul's first visit on Oprah, he said "Daytime Nighttime Suffering" was one of his favorite songs but I thought it overrated. It was also the B-Side to the evil "Goodnight Tonight," Paul's Disco Song!
#30 Calico Skies: One of Paul's greatest songs, CS! "No Words" is the most boring, funeral home, muzak ever made by Paul and deserves to be on the sell-out BOTR album! BOTR is where fiercely independent Paul was forced back to being faux "Beatle Paul" but there were no more Beatles! John and George refused to sell out like that and it hurt their record sales but they kept their dignity and honor. But Paul is majestic on "Calico Skies!"
