The Beatles are no more and John Lennon is left disillusioned. The dream is over. John knew he needed to carry on. I need to carry on. We're all gonna carry that weight, remember? It's an emotionally painful album about us humans in our most fragile situations. Nothing really can help me better through hard times than this confessional journey.

All Things Must Pass

Absolutely the way to go for George Harrison to release an overwhelming triple album (double, if you exclude the not so necessary jam part) after The Beatles split up. No longer was he kept in the shadow and no longer did he need to listen to any wah-wahs from either Paul or John. He was free to go crazy and so he did (and with Phil Spector as producer, things went only even crazier)!

Imagine

I fell in love with the title-track before I had even really fallen in love with The Beatles' music. Loved and still love how emotionally beautiful it is and the lyrics were some of the first in a song that I really payed attention to. What has always appealed to me about John Lennon is, no matter how bad critic he got for his music, he still sounded relevant (not sure that I can say that about any other Beatle). Of course, this is one of his better albums. "Imagine" remains my favourite John Lennon song.

The first documentary film I saw about a Beatle was the one in 2011 who took its name from this album. George Harrison was a great guy and this album also reflects the key elements of his personality. Some of his most spiritual, beautiful songs are present here.

Band On The Run

The most beatlesque Beatles-related album outside The Beatles. The opening bass lines of the title-track reminds me of "Sun King", which naturally hints at Paul in great form musically. I was so confused when I first found out that Paul formed a band named Wings after The Beatles, but the odd name does make sense since Wings truly were an uplifting band. "Jet" was the first song I checked out from his post-Beatles band.

John Lennon at his most chilled out! The political issues are not highlighted extensively this time around. Instead, there seems to be more a focus on the sound of "taking it one day at a time".

It may not be the very best of Paul McCartney's songwriting, but it's his most infectious. Full of joy and optimism! It's nearly impossible not to smile away when listening to this album, an album that portrays Paul as the Beatle who had moved on the most after the breakup of The Beatles while John was still sounding like a midlife crisis.

Venus And Mars

Paul McCartney feels like letting go a little in the role as frontman and gives Denny Laine and Jimmy McCulloch their go at performing lead vocals. "Venus and Mars" with cosmic sounds in the title track(s) is the typical genre-confused, highly enjoyable rock show you'd expect from Paul McCartney and Wings, an album only right below its much more popular predecessor, "Band on the Run", in terms of quality.

Double Fantasy

John Lennon and Yoko Ono's double fantasy. After 5 years of parenting, John Lennon was ready to start over. Here, nearly every John Lennon song is replied with a Yoko Ono song. John usually sticks to a more typical choice of genre while Yoko crazes out a bit more! In the light of John Lennon's murder three weeks after the album's release, it's a bit ironic to think of his famous quote "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." found in the song "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)"!

Whatever gets you thru the night, it's alright! There's a feeling of that to it. The dreamier tracks, in particular "#9 Dream" obviously, compensate the rockier moments. A very balanced effort by John Lennon.

From Mother Nature's Son 07/24/2014 23:44

Ha! I will admit that he's a bigger idol to me than the other three. Probably the more fascinating person, a unique personality to go with a unique background history, both in terms of good and bad. The best Beatle though? I can't tell... most likely there's no such thing!

His success solo-wise? He probably had the most consistent career, but also a very short-lived one. Again, I can't tell!

Admit it: this chart was a fancy way to say that John is the best beatle.
