#17 Jet #7 Band On The Run #3 Silly Love Songs #4 My Love
I found this round straight forward. The only pairing I hesitated over was the last one. If it had been the studio version of Maybe I'm Amazed I would have gone for that over My Love.

#9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey: Postulate Era Paul superior to bloated Geoff Emerick/Abbey Road Post-Production BOTR track
#15 No More Lonely Nights: Going for the upset. "Lonely Nights" Paul's last great single and no obnoxious synths!
#11 Junior's Farm: This vote is about integrity!
#4 My Love: Two great love songs to Linda, Postulate Era studio version beats non-Postulate Era live version of Postulate Era song. Make sense?

#17 Jet over #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey Tough call as I like both of these singles. #7 Band On The Run over #15 No More Lonely Nights Easiest choice of this round #11 Junior's Farm over #3 Silly Love Songs I like both songs, but thinking in terms of singles, I go with Junior's Farm #21 Maybe I'm Amazed (live) over #4 My Love A tougher choice since (as others have mentioned) this is the live rather than studio Maybe I'm Amazed, but I'll still give it the edge over the very good My Love.

I call upon voters here to reconsider their summary rejections of "No More Lonely Nights" before CoachBK closes this Round! This was Paul's last world-class single and it is a great video!
The lead guitar solo from David Gilmour is sublime! Beatles meet Pink Floyd! BOTR was fun the Spring/Summer of 1974 but it has dated significantly. Vote your heart, do not be intimidated by the BOTR Police!

Sorry John. No More Lonely Nights sounds dated to me; all the echo. I had Live and Let Die beating Band, but not this song.
Band on the Run still sounds great, synths and all.

#9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
#7 Band On The Run-I'm not letting my overplay of this song cloud my judgment.
#3 Silly Love Songs I balance love of the song, structure and hit power. Junior's Farm might currently get more listens for me these days.
#4 My Love -but my vote is on the versions. The McCartney LP version of MIA would win otherwise. I don't dislike the live version but love Paul's musicianship on the original.

Only one close match this round as Maybe I'm Amazed (live) edges My Love. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, Band On The Run, and Junior's Farm all advance easily.
