This challenge often feels like a time capsule, where you open it and think, how did they possibly think this is worth preserving?

3/5

It still has kitsch charm and some inspired moments, but this hasn’t aged nearly as well as many of is contemporaries

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

I think part of me was always biased against wings because when I was a kid I knew a girl whose main point of conversation was “my dad was in wings with Paul McCartney” but she was annoying as hell so figured her dad and thus wings couldn’t have been very cool either. God was I right
