Mother is a fine classic,

But Imagine has a great message.

God is strong,

But How is so wonderful.

 

I think I'll pick Imagine.

I like both, but put me down for Imagine.

I find it ineresting how people hear songs differently. Joe mentioned, "I'm not crazy about Crippled Inside and Oh Yoko! for their folksy hoe-down feel". TW and I like Oh Yoko! "because of how upbeat it is" (and I like Crippled Inside for the same reason). 

Things like this make for great discussions. I look forward to seeing more opinions on these 2 great albums.

Working Class Hero is my favourite Lennon track, and I also really like Mother, God, Hold On, Well Well Well and Look At Me. There's a big lull in the middle for me, though. I've always found tracks like Love, Isolation and Remember to be a bit... empty. As mentioned, I also don't really like My Mummy's Dead.

Contrastingly, I like every song on Imagine bar I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier, which I just delete from my playlists. Imagine and Mind Games have the emotion/rocker combinations that I think work really well.

I'll take a look.

So you would need any other RB game.

It's a masterpiece, although I can see why it's not to everyone's taste.

I'm wary of getting into track-by-track comparisons, because I think albums should be judged on the whole rather than saying "I don't like song x, and song y is better than song a". However, there are a couple on Imagine I'm not crazy about - Crippled Inside and Oh Yoko! for their folksy hoe-down feel, and I Don't Want To Be A Soldier goes on a bit. That said, Mother and Well Well Well aren't really on the top of my Lennon list either.

Jealous Guy I think is his most "consumable" song or whatever you want to call it. It's his best song that can be enjoyed by everyone is what I mean. But I wouldn't call it or Imagine better than Mother or Working Class Hero or God. Imagine is a nice song but I agree that it's overplayed. Oh My Love is for sure one of my favorites as is Oh Yoko, but then again Look at Me and Isolation are two of my favorites. So I think Imagine was his best effort in terms ...]]> Fri, 13 May 2011 05:59:16 +0100 kedame on Plastic Ono Band or Imagine - Which is better? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/plastic-ono-band-or-imagine-which-is-better/#p35204 John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/plastic-ono-band-or-imagine-which-is-better/#p35204 Definitely Plastic Ono Band. As much as I know I might get blasted for this, I really don't like the song Imagine, and that is what the whole album is built around. I don't know why I don't like it...maybe overexposure and the fact that to most casual fans, it's the only thing they identify John Lennon with. I hate that because he was so much more than just that one song. POB is a tough album to listen to, though. I have to be in the right mood. I love Jealous Guy and How? from Imagine, and I like ...]]> Fri, 13 May 2011 04:41:48 +0100 mr.

Which is better? I say Imagine, just because it truly was his peak. It has 2 of his best songs, but doesnt have the terrible ender *cough*My Mummy's Dead*cough* that POB has. How about you?
