*** You choose :
*** Lennon's greatest solo album.
***
*** Tell us, what distinguishes it?
***
***
**
** It has to be Plastic Ono Band. I don't know that any rock and roller had done an album brimming over with such uncompromising
**honesty and raw pain.....It was as if he reached inside himself, pulled his guts out, laid them on the table and said "You don't get any more real than this."
**
**
**And yet it wasn't all in your face pain...
**
**
**'Love' tells us very clearly that he would not allow the hurt to keep him from the light when it reached him..
**
**
**The album was a jaw dropper in 1970 and it still is...
**
**
**Now do I get my free cruise to the Bahamas?

* I mean, John and Yoko exposed their naked outsides on the Two Virgins cover.. POB could be considered Part 2 of that process where John revealed his naked inside as well... And Yoko had her POB also..

*Just a thought thunk while thinking thunky thoughts...

*I like that review, and you make a nice point re TV/POB.

While I agree POs an unparalleled masterpiece, I find have to be "in the mood ".
