I actually think they're quite underrated due to their established reputation of being hated by the critics. Wild Life is a cool, stripped-down pop album that sounds like not much of anything else going on in the early seventies (sorta like McCartney's debut, except played by a band), Venus and Mars is overall a lot of fun, despite a little filler, and Band on the Run is a masterpiece, IMHO. In fact, I don't think Wings ever recorded a bad album. McCartney's solo career is a little spottier, but I agree with the poster above who commented on his consistency. In terms of overall output of great material, none of the other Beatles' solo careers can begin to compare to Paul's. (But I love all of them anyway...)
