Awesome CD Almost every song is a great piece of music. This is a must have for any John Lennon fan. I can listen to both discs all the way through. . . Great Music!.
NEVER DISAPPOINTING
HE IS NEVER DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING MUSIC FROM JOHN LENNON MORE THAN HALF MY LIFE. HIS COLLECTION OF MUSIC STILL REMAINS ON TOP AND RELEVENT EVEN TODAY. IN MY OPINION LENNON HAS THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL VOICE. HIS RANGE IS AMAZING. EVEN IF YOU HAVE MOST OF HIS LIBRARY OF MUSIC, HEARING ONE GREAT TUNE AFTER ANOTHER IS STILL MIND BOGGLING. GET THIS CD, GET THIS CD FOR YOUR FRIENDS, OR SOMEONE WHO IS STARTING TO GET INTO THE MUSIC OF THIS GENIUS. ONE COULD ONLY IMAGINE, WHERE HE STANDS ON THE POLITICS OF TODAY.
Forever Lennon
Lennon, whatever your politics, was a voice for peace in an insane time in this country. Just listening to this album takes you back. The album reminds me of that time and wonder about other works he would have produced had he lived. Great collection of songs from an outstanding artist.
The only John Lennon CD I have
I agonized for years, decades really, over what cd's to buy, and just never got any of them. I was lucky enough to be able to buy all of John's Albums as they came out on vinyl. Finally I had to make a decision, and I picked this up. I think the selection of songs is very good, I like the order they are arranged in, and I really enjoy listening to these discs separately from start to finish. I think this compilation does an excellent presentation of all of the qualities that I have admired in his work. If you are looking for the one album to get, I think you will be very pleased with this choice. This is as good as a best of collection that I have ever heard from any artist or group. Enjoy!.
5 stars for the music, 3 for the idea of yet another collection
Not when there's over 90% of his discography that's worth hearing and owning. Let's be honest- you can't make a definitive collection for a guy like John Lennon. The only possible way a collection like this can be complete is when 90% of his legacy has been included. Anything less than that is really not worth owning. You mine as well just buy his regular studio albums when so many of his best songs have been left off his collections. With that said, what we have here is really good despite not being an essential purchase. You will recognize many of the songs, because they've become important pieces of music over the years, but let's just buy Lennon's studio albums instead.
