John Lennon Archives - Progrography

[Review] John Lennon/Yoko Ono: Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions (1969)

Primal scream therapy and a miscarriage are the sources for John and Yoko’s second album of sound.

John and Yoko didn’t get out of bed to record it, and you don’t need to get out of bed to buy it.

Maybe not John’s most memorable melody, but his most enduring sentiment? Yes.

Stop war, stop doing heroin and stop fooling yourself sum up John’s first three singles, with this being the best of them.

John’s emancipation proclamation for women and workers. Right on, indeed.

John’s best album since The Beatles, a luminous portrait of the artist.

Lost weekend or not, there’s plenty of wisdom to find in “Mind Games.” This may be his deepest idea since “Imagine.”

[Kronomyth 6.0] You got to let it grow on you.

It wasn’t a Beatles reunion, but Ringo was the next best thing.

John Lennon hitches a ride on the Elton John juggernaut for his first #1 single as a solo artist.

An album fueled by Lennon’s excesses, yet also one of his most commercially successful records, featuring two hit singles.

John Lennon’s lost weekend is again Ringo’s gain as he moves the party to his place and scores another gold record.

A bicentennial celebration? No. A bisexual anthem? Not quite. Anyone for tennis?

George loved God, Paul loved Linda, Ringo loved a good time and John loved a good fight. As Apple was sinking, they fired…

Ringo’s last two records sounded like non-stop parties. This time, he invited the right people but they brought all the wrong things.
