Title: John Lennon's solo work Post by: GeraldFord on March 28, 2009, 08:23:36 AM Any fans of Lennon's solo work here? I think his debut Plastic Ono Band is one of the rawest, most heart-felt, brutal albums ever. Imagine is also great and I'm a huge fan on Mind Games and Walls and Bridges. Double Fantasy was great too--the only one I don't care for is Sometime in New York City.
I thought some of his best songs were written in the 70s and in 1980. Title: Re: John Lennon's solo work Post by: GNR4L on March 28, 2009, 11:19:06 AM Love John Lennon ! some of my favorites are Woman, Mind Games, Starting Over, and his cover of the Ronnettes Be My Baby.

The title track "Mind Games" is amazing. Title: Re: John Lennon's solo work Post by: AtariLegend on March 28, 2009, 12:17:10 PM "Imagine" is one of the most beautiful and most powerful songs of all time.

McCartney's solo stuff is good, but it just doesn't have the same zip that Lennon's stuff has.

I like those as well. 'God' is one of my favorites too. Along with his music, I'm really inspired by how he loved Yoko. Their relationship was beautiful. Title: Re: John Lennon's solo work Post by: +Rocker+ on October 13, 2009, 06:45:50 PM I love Lennon, a real genius. His work post Beatle is great as well. In my opinion he was the most successful "ex Beatle".
I have heard most of his work and my favorite record are Imagine and Double Fantasy. I really love songs such as God, Mother, Woman, How do you sleep and specially How? & Starting over. The only thing I don't like of his latest career was (although is not big deal) ...I think he kind of abused in the concept of "Love" and "Peace", I don't like when artist insist with a concept to create his music, but, I know that made Jonn came up with a lot of big songs anyway... On the other hand, his role as pacific activist was very admirable as well as his auntentic love with his couple ( who had nothing of the typical beauty we used to look for...) In conclusion Lennon was a excelente singer ang songwritter, a great artist no doubt and apparentely a good human being. Title: Re: John Lennon's solo work Post by: Baby Firefly on October 14, 2009, 04:20:21 PM Lady GaGa covered Imagine at the Human Rights Committee Dinner last Saturday and it was a top notch cover in my view. Yoko Ono even approved. Check out my lady love's version (she did improvise lyrics and switch things around) below:
