John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is John Lennon's first official solo album, released in 1970 after having issued three experimental albums with Yoko Ono and Live Peace In Toronto 1969, a live performance in Toronto credited to The Plastic Ono Band. The "Plastic Ono Band" in the album's title refers to the conceptual band Lennon and Ono had formed in 1969 of various supporting musicians they would use on their various solo albums. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was received with high critical praise upon release and its stature has continued to grow, with the influence of the album's raw honesty and angst audible in much of the "alternative/grunge" scene of the 1990's (least of all, Kurt Cobain's work). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Plastic_Ono_Band   (541 words)

The Plastic Ono Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Plastic Ono Band is the conceptual group John Lennon and Yoko Ono formed in 1969 before the dissolution of The Beatles. By early 1970, Lennon and Ono had begun adding their names to their releases ("Instant Karma!" coming out as "John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Band", and their two proper solo debut albums: John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band). By 1971 the name was being used as a secondary credit, with Lennon's and Ono's names the most prominent on their solo ventures, and with occasional variances (i.e. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Plastic_Ono_Band   (351 words)

John Lennon Plastic Ono Band   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) PLASTIC ONO BAND hasn't aged as gracefully as the follow up albums Lennon made, but it still has power and Lennon's voice is a locomotive at full throttle; hurtling towards the abyss without regard for convention. POB is a fine album with Lennon demonstrating a clear, independent voice as a solo artist. The weakness at the core of POB is, ironically, one of its greatest strengths; the emotions that wreck havoc on Lennon and, ultimately, provide him with a sense(if only temporary) of salvation. www.birdpages.co.uk /magazine/johnlennonplasticonoband.htm   (766 words)

John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The press was extremely unkind to Ono, posting a series of unflattering articles about her, one even going so far as to call her "ugly." This infuriated Lennon, who rallied around his new partner and said publicly that there was no John and Yoko, but that they were one person, JohnAndYoko. After both Lennon and Ono were injured in the summer of 1969 in a car accident in Scotland, Lennon arranged for Ono to be constantly with him in the studio (including having a full-sized bed rolled in) as he worked on The Beatles' last album, Abbey Road. Many consider "Plastic Ono Band" to be a major influence on later hard rock and punk music. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Lennon   (5149 words)

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band Both Yoko Ono, who coproduced it, and Klaus Voormann, who played bass on it, say they believe John Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" is "timeless." Indeed, it sounds as if it could have been released yesterday. "Plastic Ono Band" is dedicated to Yoko, who is also obliquely cited as the album's inspiration in the credits: "Yoko Ono: Wind." Most of the songs on the record were written while John and Yoko were undergoing prima-scream therapy with Dr. Arthur Janov in California in 1970. "Plastic Ono Band" is, she says, "just as important as "Sgt. Pepper," in terms of being a milestone and in terms of the direction that John took after that. www.geocities.com /maledpunmusic/lennon_john_plastic_ono_band.htm   (1571 words)

Encyclopedia: Plastic Ono Band John Lennon John Winston Lennon, later John Ono Lennon, (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980), was best known as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist for The Beatles.

Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band. Review by Austen Zuege   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) The Plastic Ono Band led by Yoko Ono made some startling music that never confined itself to any conventional rock structures. Ono maneuvers through deep psychological recesses, as primal scream therapy prompted both this and John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band record (recorded at the same time with the same musicians). Significant aspects of Plastic Ono Band are John Lennon and Ringo Starr's performances. www.bluedark.com /reviews/Yoko_Ono--Plastic_Ono_Band.htm   (394 words)

BBC - h2g2 - Plastic Ono Band Plastic Ono Band is known as John Lennon's 'primal scream album'.

Review Price Save :: Plastic Ono Band   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Decades later it's a little hard to appreciate just how shocking Plastic Ono Band was at the time of its release. And yet it's a testament to the high quality of Lennon's songs that Plastic Ono Band continues to be an incredibly moving listening experience. Of course, I guess the range can be even easier demonstrated simply by listening to the album opener, "Mother" (just be sure to crank the ending as the song begins to fade, as it is during this point that John's voice really becomes unhinged with emotion). www.reviewpricesave.com /Plastic_Ono_Band-B00004WGEL.html   (817 words)

Rolling Stone : 22) Plastic Ono Band Also known as the "primal scream" album, referring to the painful therapy that gave rise to its songs, Plastic Ono Band was Lennon's first proper solo album and rock and roll's most self-revelatory recording. Lennon attacks and denies idols and icons, including his own former band ("I don't believe in Beatles," he sings in "God"), to hit a pure, raw core of confession that feels like reality, however agonizing, and, in its echo-drenched, garage-rock crudity, is years ahead of punk. Lennon sings about childhood loss in "Mother" and skirts blasphemy with "Working Class Hero": "You're still fucking peasants as far as I can see." But the unkindest cut came in his notoriously frank 1970 Rolling Stone interview. www.rollingstone.com /news/story/6598100/22_plastic_ono_band   (211 words)

Plastic Ono Band Shortly before the Beatles disbanded, John Lennon collaborated with his newfound companion Yoko Ono on the experimental album Two Virgins. The first album, Live Peace in Toronto, 1969, was recorded during the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival Festival in 1969, and some of the stars that performed in this event were Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others from the early years of the genre. The composition "Don't Worry Yoko (Mummy's only looking for her hand in the snow)" consisted of a simple repetitive riff played by the group, while Yoko improvised the least fashionable notes a singer could produce. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/p/pl/plastic_ono_band.html   (788 words)

The Music Box: John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band Of his post-Beatles albums (and among rock records in general), however, his 1970 release Plastic Ono Band stands at the top of the heap. Oddly enough, Plastic Ono Band was co-produced by Phil Spector, best-known for his "Wall of Sound" style of recording.

Actually, to be fair to Ono, her material isn’t as unlistenable as some might have you believe.

John Lennon - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band | sputnikmusic   (Site not responding.

MTVAsia.com - Lennon, John - Plastic Ono Band Whereas the Beatles were well known for the dense arrangements and glossy productions of their music, Plastic Ono Band would be notable for the lack of such qualities. We're Not Sure About: Whilst the bonus tracks are appreciated, their inclusion somewhat jars the atmosphere of the album and their choice is thus suspect. Verdict: "Plastic Ono Band" is confessional perfection, proving that the exploration of various moods, life facets, and sheer integrity would always provide the ultimate musical satisfaction. v4.mtvasia.com /reviews/cds/Items/2000122801.html   (165 words)

Tower Records - Plastic Ono Band [Remaster] - John Lennon John Lennon's 1970 official solo debut is as remarkable for its startling contrast to the Beatles as it is for the passion and force of its songwriting. Stripped-down, gripping, and emotionally resonant, PLASTIC ONO BAND has little to do with the hook-heavy pop of his early Beatles work, or the psychedelic, word-salad approach of his songs on SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEART'S CLUB BAND and ABBEY ROAD. Instead, this is an album of intensely confessional songs that lay bare the personal demons Lennon was trying to exorcise at the time--the ghosts of fame, family, faith, and individual identity, among them. www.towerrecords.com /product.aspx?pfid=1037138   (527 words)

This is an album that speaks to me in many ways: with its emotion, its creativity and explorativeness...its sonic intrigue and improvisation...and its sense of love/anger/humour and redemption, conveyed in impressionistic deliveries of words and sounds which speak eloquently for themselves. It exasperates me to hear people sneeringly mock Yoko Ono as a talentless chancer who latched onto her husband's success and never jumped off the free ride. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000009RH   (1220 words)
