Editoral Review And, depending on your particular take, you might not find Lennon Legend quite hitting the mark. John Lennon's solo work has been anthologized so many times that it's hard to believe there wasn't a definitive compilation before this one. However, since it does contain the brilliantly scathing "Working Class Hero," doesn't ignore the woefully underrated Rock 'n' Roll album, and catches the hopeful renewal that came toward the end of his foreshortened life, it's probably about as close as anyone's going to come. His great songs shine, meditations like "Imagine" and his rockers had form and content, as in "Whatever Gets You Through the Night. " He was an icon, and this does him justice. --Chris Nickson ..
