Yes, i like Imagine, hell, I LOVE it. YES I LOVE IMAGINE! Feels good to say it.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #151 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 19:53 »

really?

even Walls and Bridges?

Mr. Mojo · « **Reply #152 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 19:55 »

Yes, Walls and Bridges wasn't the best of his works. But i like it nonetheless. Well, here's my breakdown of the beatles from Best to Worst

1.)Lennon
2.)Harrison
3.)Ringo
4.)McCartney

Replace him with just about any drummer and they'd have been exactly the same band minus a few song titles and an ill advised lead vocal here and there.

Idunno, man. Some of those few song titles are among the most enduring Beatles works of all time. It's the simplicity of them that does it, and the fact that a deaf person could wail along and still be pretty close that gives it immense karaoke potential.

Even Unfinished Music Volumes 1 and 2, Some Time In New York City, and Mind Games?

Mr. Mojo · « **Reply #155 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 08:57 »

I like all of Lennon's works. So therefore I like all his albums.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #156 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 09:06 »

even Imagine?

Thrillho · « **Reply #157 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 10:17 »

Mojo, I need to actually see you post this.

You like the Unfinished Music albums and the Wedding album???

Mr. Mojo · « **Reply #158 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 11:05 »

Ok, fine you caught me, i do not like the Wedding Album. That is THE only one. I plea the 5th ammendment now.

Thrillho · « **Reply #159 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 11:36 »

So you like Two Virgins? And Life With The Lions? But Wedding Album was too much for you??

Lines · « **Reply #160 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 11:41 »

Lennon came up with some messed up shit after he left the Beatles. Seriously. Some was brilliant, like the song Imagine, but some of it was seriously down right crazy.

Mr. Mojo · « **Reply #161 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 12:52 »

It's not that is was too much, I just didn't like it. Remember it's all about preference, don't persecute me my friend.

Thrillho · « **Reply #162 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 13:22 »

Who's persecuting? You are just literally the only person I've ever known who has anything more positive than disdain for that stuff. I'm not persecuting you, I'm just fucking surprised, man.

But then loads of people seem to love 'Revolution 9,' and to me that's just more of the same stuff.

Mr. Mojo · « **Reply #163 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 13:36 »

Revolution 9 wasn't that good, I'm with you on that. I suppose i just love nearly everything John does, he's solo music was a lot more meaningful than any of the other Beatles which is possibly why I'm so drawn to most of it.

RedLion · « **Reply #164 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 17:06 »

Lennon's song "God" from off of Plastic Ono Band is a pretty succinct summation of a large part of my beliefs on a higher being. So that song is kind of important to me.

I've always loved the off-beat explosion at the end of "Remember," too. I mean I love the whole album, but that moment always makes me laugh. (I know it fits, given he just mentioned the Nov. 5th plot, it's still just exceedingly random.)

Johnny C · « **Reply #165 on:** 16 Jul 2008, 14:29 »

I genuinely like the last four Macca solo records (not the classical ones, the pop ones, though Flaming Pie is an astoundingly bad album title).

Wings was shit outside of "Live & Let Die."

Bayley · « **Reply #166 on:** 18 Jul 2008, 14:06 »

what i've heard from paul's solo stuff i couldn't call it bad exactly, but that's because i can't remember a single song off of them. i've heard the first one with him and his baby on the cover, and the most recent two.

Thrillho · « **Reply #167 on:** 18 Jul 2008, 14:39 »

The first one has, like, a plate with a red liquid in it or something. Some oriental imagery.

Whatever, it's not paul and his baby on the cover.

How did you even hear his last four records?! I can't imagine you've been buying them.

I used the public library and another thing that rhymes with "whore rents." Also, my friend works at a Chapters which has a Starbucks inside, and he managed to get a copy of the last one, which was on Starbucks' Hear Music label, for cheap.

Nigel Godrich produced his 2005 record which meant he actually had someone willing to critique his music working on it with him, and it shows. It's the best of the four by far.

you're right; i think its the back of the record sleeve that has him and his baby. it's just called McCartney isn't it?

Thrillho · « **Reply #170 on:** 18 Jul 2008, 16:03 »

That's the name of his solo debut, yeah. I thought it had two beetles fucking on the back but that might've been Ram.

Patrick · « **Reply #171 on:** 19 Jul 2008, 03:53 »

Three guesses for what that symbolism must've been intended to convey.

Thrillho · « **Reply #172 on:** 19 Jul 2008, 06:31 »

Well I've got a magazine where he's interviewed that, and his response still makes me laugh, he said something like 'What? How could I convince two beetles to shag each other???'
