Only song that is little bit mediocre is God, but it´s lyrically strong (specially when you know the time it came).

Walls & Bridges is not great, there are some great songs but not any other as genius as #9 Dream.

What about those three avantgarde-albums he made with Yoko before that Plastic Ono Band album, are they any good?

yes!!! it is the greatest Lennon solo. Imagine is a little too produced compared to Plastic Ono Band.

I was kinda like you at one time. only heard maybe two or three songs off that record. I was shocked hearing it. what made me want to finally check the album out was the Scorsese movie The Departed.

those John and Yoko albums may or may not be worth it. I haven't heard them.

"Well Well Well" is the best Lennon song EVER.

For a brief while in the mid90s my pops was obsessed with dwight yokam completely for no reason at all.. i mean going to shows and everything!

Also i much prefer Lennon solo shit to Beatles

Worth quoting again! I don't have the last one but the top two are a couple of my favorite records.

great start for a saturday morning

Talking about the Beatles (which I still prefer more than any of their solo outputs even that Plastic Ono album is really great in it´s non-beatles substance) this song uses genius style of Beatles really attractive way:

Fairport Convention: Liege & Lief
Family: Music In a Doll´s House

These both are just amazing!
