2. Band on the Run - Paul McCartney & Wings - 1973
Band on the Run is about as perfect as an album gets. It’s got nine (ten in the U.S.) stunning songs one right after the other. After “Band on the Run” and “Jet,” it just gets better with “Bluebird,” “Picasso’s Last Words” and “Nineteen-Hundred and Eighty-Five.” Considering that this was all written and created under tough circumstances in Lagos, you have an album that really speaks for itself.
