Paul McCartney Reveals His Top 3 'Favorite Albums By Other People'
HuffPost
The music legend named the albums by other artists that reminded him of certain periods in his life.
Paul McCartney’s songs have been used by millions to celebrate life’s biggest moments, but now the rock icon is listing off the tunes that have provided the soundtrack to his own life.
A fan named Alex wrote to McCartney, asking what songs “take you back to certain periods in your life” and what his own music evokes when he performs it today.
“My favorite albums by other people tend to be: ‘Music from Big Pink’ by The Band, ‘Pet Sounds’ by the Beach Boys, and ‘Harvest’ by Neil Young,” the 83-year-old music legend replied on his website. “They are the three classics that I love to listen to, and they all remind me of certain times in my life.”
He said listening to his own work, including the music he made with The Beatles, has a different effect on him.
“When I perform my own songs, the great thing is that they often bring back memories of recording them,” he said. “That can often entail memories of John and George in the studio ― sweet memories!”
