Topic: John Lennon Anthology


  
  John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Ono Lennon, MBE, (born John Winston Lennon October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980) was an iconic English 20th century composer and singer of popular music, best known as the founding member of The Beatles, in which he and Paul McCartney formed the massively successful songwriting partnership Lennon-McCartney throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.
Lennon would steadily grow to hate the conformity of art school, which proved to be little different from his earlier school experience, and he ultimately dropped out.
Lennon returned his M.B.E. with the quote that he was returning it because of the war in Vietnam and "because 'Cold Turkey' is slipping down the charts".

 John Lennon - Anthology | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...
John Lennon needs no introduction - we all know who he is, what group he was in, and how his life was prematurely ended at the dawn of the '80s, arguably the decade that would have benefitted the most from his genius.
Lennon and Ono were separated for several months in 1974-75 as Lennon took an abrupt turn to record covers of '50s songs for his "Rock and Roll" album.
The most rewarding part of this anthology coincides with what Lennon thought to be the most important part of his own life - the last years, in which he began to see his son grow up.

 The John Lennon Anthology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
John the primal screamer, John the street politician, John the L.A. party boy, and John the house husband.
The story The John Lennon Anthology tells--that of the questing former Beatle who took five years off to raise his son before returning with an album of peaceful reflections on the househusband life--isn't new, but for all its monumental status, it does help bring Lennon into focus again as a person and a musician.
Anthology is flawed, but its wide-ranging picture of Lennon's post-Beatles years is that of someone you'd love to have spent some time with.

 Bagism: Albums & Singles: Reviews: John Lennon Anthology
As with other anthologies of a similar ilk, notably the Beatles, we are also given reason for being relieved that many of the rough mixes were eventually produced into well crafted tracks and not left in their raw and ramshackled approach evidenced here.
John Lennon's music after the Beatles was not as commercially appealing, and therfore not as widly played, and I think that to appreciate it fully an aquired taste needs to be developed.
John Lennon was never one for overdone production, and the anthology gives us John the way he wanted it- raw, soulful and sometimes downright angry, yet also tender, loving and reflective.

 Review: The John Lennon Anthology
John didn't know he was going to be murdered--no one could have predicted it, which is why it came as such as a total shock.
John Lennon was an elitist asshole just like the rest of the members of that horrible group of limey bastards that scammed untold millions of dollars from the American public by selling them phoney peace and love ramblings along with an inferred attitude of disrespect for materialism.
