Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon
from Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix · host Stevie Nix
There are albums that define a moment and albums that define a person. John Lennon's solo debut, released in December 1970, does something rarer and more uncomfortable than either: it defines the gap between the two — the chasm between the person the world thought it knew and the man who had been living inside that image for a decade, quietly suffocating. It is one of the most nakedly confessional records in the history of popular music, and one of the most misunderstood. Despite its critical standing and its near-permanent residence on lists of great albums, it remains, somehow, underrated — a record whose full weight and significance is still not entirely reckoned with.Featured songs:MotherWorking Class HeroIsolationLoveI Found OutGod
