i'm not in love...by 10cc was really wings-ish.
peter pumpkinhead by xtc (lead by andy partridge) always had a macca sound.
crowded house (better be home soon) always were very melodic
about 20 years ago, there was a song by a german band (gosh i wish cologne girl was back here, always had a bit of an e-crush on CG) called freiheit. they did a song called keeping the dream alive. it was a beautiful ballad that everyone thought was paul. it never took off. too bad. you tube it and see what you think. it was a great, great song that deserved better recognition (sigh, a lot like parts of paul's solo career).

I want to tell her that I love her a lot, but I got to get a belly full of wine.
