I think John Lennon is over-rated. Most of his solo work is either unlistenable "art noise" created with Yoko, or syrupy, sentimental tosh! With the exception of a couple of albums, and a few singles, he doesn't deserve the unadulterated praise heaped upon him, and is only revered so much because he is dead. The last album he released in his lifetime, Double Fantasy, was panned by the critics, only to be reappraised as a work of genius in the weeks following his death! Meanwhile, Paul McCartneys music, which is probably 50% great and 50% crap, is virtually ignored. Do you dare to go against the tide of the opinion polls, and agree with me?
