And the solo McCartney album, which came before Ram featured Linda singing on most tracks, too.

For me his low point is pretty much all of the 80s synth-echo-overproduced nonsense. Even "Flowers in the Dirt" is regarded as one of his best albums, but to me, the low points ("How Many People", "Ou Est Le Soleil", "You Want Her Too", etc. don't make up for the highs ("My Brave Face", "Put It There") amazing though they may be. I'd take the early 70's lightweight ditties of "Wild Life" over "Press to Play" any day. I sort of like Wild Life, although it’s not one of his best.

(BTW--the original is used to great effect in the Terrence Malick film Badlands.) I always felt like Wild Life was one of McCartney's worst albums. The reggae influence sounds weak, and the songs lack solid hooks. Of course he would make up for that with Band on the Run. “Love Is Strange” is a great song, but I don’t feel this stands up very well to the 1957 original by Mickey & Sylvia.
