I'm a huge McCartney fan, but I just don't see it.

Paul is a great pop / rock musician but I do not want to see him here ... like Elton John.

No way !
He - actually I think you refer to Wings? Or Paul McCartney & Wings? - did have a proggier period medio 70's but so did just about everyone else...sign-o'-the-times I guess.
Well put him in the īJust For Funī section of PA. Happy now?

Consider Stew's shot his serious opinion. Cannot look down on nor laugh at his words but I've said my sincere opinion.

His most 'proggy' stuff was his instrumentals, especially the ones on McCartney and McCartney II. He had a few mini-suites like "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and "Band On The Run." I could understand how someone might think a song like "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five" is 'proggy', but if you took away the Minimoog it wouldn't sound so 'proggy' anymore.
Macca liked to experiment within the pop/rock format. He was the most experimental minded of the Fab Four. He was also the most versatile: in addition to playing keyboards, he could play guitar better than George and play drums better than Ringo. But the guy also loved to rock and write silly love songs. His solo stuff is not 'proggy' enough for PA (even in Related). If he gets added we might as well add Elton John and Coldplay and rename the site 'All Music Guide'.
