That's the great irony



We were all hyping this up as the start of his "Scott Walker era" where he's making the weirdest, most inspired music of his career. We only got one album but what an album it was.

I'm not sure if you hear it, but this album almost reminds me of Black Tie White Noise (albeit darker).

Lennon does do backups for "Fame" and Bowie's version of "Across the Universe" so he's not irrelevant to Bowie...

With The Beatles Lennon was amazing, without him... Plastic Ono band was cool and Mind Games was decent.

Fuck off row. I'm talking about musicians who completley changed the mainstream musical landscape and shaped everything that followed by doing things on their own terms.

Walls and Bridge is boring as fuck, Imagine's decent, Sometime in New York City is pretty good if you only count the Lennon parts.

yup i figured you wouldnt like walls and bridges lol. it has its moments in my opinion.



Sometime in new york city is REALLY dragged down because of yoko though. double fantasy is the same for me, but john's not his best there either.

Going Down on Love is cool from Walls and Bridges... Steel and Glass is dumb as hell though, it just shows Lennon doesn't actually know why people hated him.



Double Fantasy/Milk and Honey has Cleanup Time, Watching the Wheels, Nobody Told Me rest are a ton of b-side worthy material XD

steel and glass was...kinda alright? my feelings on the song are conflicting. i think instrumentally steel and glass showed potential to be really dark, but lyrically it was confusing as hell and the finished product suffered as a whole.



as for double fantasy, dear yoko is an abysmal track. i think there were a lot of b side material tracks, but cleanup time was a decent track. i enjoyed the demo version of im losing you a lot. nice hearing lennon doing a straight forward rock tune sometimes, which is what it sounded like.
