John Lennon, The Silly Years
Review of Imagine - John Lennon by  thegrinder2k

Advantages: Musical genius, and generally a great guy
Disadvantages: Tended to go a bit weird sometimes

...cured his evil. “Self-Portrait”. The title of a film about John Lennon’s penis, by John Lennon. Included in the film is video footage and information about his penis, both semi and fully erect. Yoko Ono loved it, and was furious when the critics “wouldn’t touch it” (referring to the film, of course). Frankly, what did she expect? Five star reviews? Oscar nominations? And in the end, Lennon’s silliness affected all aspects of his life. Even when he was trying to be serious, Lennon was often overtaken by bouts of silly behaviour. For example, when returning his OBE to the Queen, which he intended as a serious protest against Britain’s involvement in the Biafran War, he utterly spoiled the effect when he said in his letter that it was his way of objecting to Cold Turkey’s fall...

John Lennon--My Musical Hero
Review of John Lennon Collection, The - John Lennon by  mmosier

Advantages: Revealing music by a rock 'n roll legend
Disadvantages: Commercial, made as an offering to the record company gods

...The John Lennon Collection-John Lennon is a "greatest hits" compilation that I have mixed feelings about. Granted, each and every one of the nineteen tracks on this album are fine tunes which in one way or another define the musician, vocalist and writer that John Lennon was--my personal view is that he was one of the greatest rock 'n roll musicians of our time. The qualms that I have about this collection arise from the fact that it contains his most commercial tracks--some of the true Lennon gems are not included on this album. I can't recommend this album as being truly representative of his music, simply because some of his more obscure (and best) songs aren't present, but as a collection of his most popular tunes, it fills the bill. John Lennon was enigmatic, both as a musician and an individual--he wore his heart on his sleeve... Read review

John Henry another audio triumph for the Johns
Review of John Henry - They Might Be Giants by  Raybid

Advantages: A sublime album of high points and even higher points
Disadvantages: The cassette version needs to be turned over in some players

...John Henry - those two words send a rush of pleasure down my spinal chord (sic) just by existing. This was their first album with a full band supporting them, hence the name John Henry, its an American fable about a railroad worker that fought to stop machines taking over the man-powered work (they used to use a drum machine, you see?) Aaaaanyway, the album is a delight from end to end (and back again). I bought the album, saw the live tour, got the t-shirt and still I crave more. To try and catagorise TMBG would be wrong, but this is primarally a rock/folk/indie/ragga/funk/metal/hip-hop/ska/synth album with a few other influences thrown in. The new bass player is the mighty Tony Menomi (apologies for the spelling Tony) who used to play with Pere Ubu and was very nice to us after the show. His influence also shows, but the John...
