Thrillington is worth owning if you like RAM. If you count Wings as solo work (I don't) then don't bother picking up just one, do yourself a favor and get every album Wings ever recorded! If you like it current than pick up Electric Arguments from his Firemen project.

a-hard-days-night-john-1Lennon: Plastic Ono Band is his best. Pick up Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band as well, they are companion pieces and the guitar work on her's is fiery! If you like John's weird side then grab ...]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2012 06:43:24 +0100 LOMAN on Solo Album Recommendations http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p3097 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p3097 I would just recommend all the first solo shit released directly after the split...
a-hard-days-night-paul-6 = McCartney (or bowl of Cherries as I've heard it called). If you just get some crappy greatest hits collection you miss all the cool instrumentals off this album and you miss the song "That Would Be Something"...CLASSIC!
a-hard-days-night-john-1 = Plastic Ono Band. Most greatest collections leave out his best solo track - "Well Well Well". Almost as good as "Yer Blues" but not quite. It's missing that amazing McCartney bass line!

I was thinking this thread could be for giving good/bad reviews to some post-Beatles albums and make some recommendations.

 

My favorite is All Things Must Pass (on the original US Apple records vinyl, which you can still find.) I spent countless hours listening to this post-Beatle release over either McCartney or Plastic Ono Band in 1970. IMO it's George at his solo best (at least until Traveling Wilburys.) One can almost overdose on Paul and John's prolific solo works. But this album was the biggest critical surprise and success of all early post-Beatles, and it out sold all ...]]> Sun, 25 Apr 2010 23:35:29 +0100 Alissa on Solo Album Recommendations http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p3094 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p3094 I thought I'd revive this thread with another McCartney recommendation: Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.

a-hard-days-night-paul-8

Released in 2005, it is one of Paul's more recent albums, and before downloading it (hee, hee!) I pondered whether or not I should as I get kind of down hearing how much their voices have aged. Against instinct, I downloaded it, and don't regret it in the least! Superb!

His voice sounds better than ever- aged, but like fine wine, it has only improved. How the man can still hit those notes is beyond me, but, Pauly can still sing like ...]]> Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:21:18 +0100 PeterWeatherby on Solo Album Recommendations http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1658 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1658 For those who haven't had a lot of exposure to the solo works, I have two recommendations.

Lennon Legend is a really useful album if you're looking for an introduction to John's music.  All of the big hits are here: "Imagine", "Instant Karma", "Jealous Guy", "Mind Games", "Beautiful Boy", "Watching the Wheels", "#9 Dream", "Cold Turkey", and several more.  It was this album that made me really want to get out and find more of John's full solo ...]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:14:51 +0000 mjb on Solo Album Recommendations http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1645 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1645 Well I've 'bigged up' John's Mind Games and George's self-titled George Harrison already.......

Totally agree with Alissa about Ram.

I'm currently on a George Harrison spree - listening to his back catalogue (I have every one of his albums) but I'm not going to overload this thread with countless reviews right now so don't panic Laugh

I'll just do Living In The Material World - possibly my favourite Harrison album but it has to contend with Cloud 9.

The album came out in 1973 and that's when I bought it (eeek). The fantastic opening track - Give Me Love (Give ...]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:48:08 +0000 Elsewhere Man on Solo Album Recommendations http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1644 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/solo-album-recommendations/#p1644 Well, as I said in another thread, if you're looking for something good and recent, I'd highly reccommend Paul's "Elecric Arguments," as The Fireman.

Self said, "yes?" and I said, "let's make a new thread!" (Ho ho ho hee hee hee ha ha ha, hopefully your sense of humour is still intact after that doozy!)

So, I was thinking this thread could be for giving good/bad reviews to some post-Beatles albums and make some recommendations.

I thought I could start off with Paul's 1971 album Ram, since it is one of my favourite solo albums. With that said, I highly recommend the album for pop lovers. Perhaps it's more of John's ...]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:17:09 +0000
