Plus, they were a beautiful couple who loved one another passionately. John put everything on the line for Yoko, and she as well. After he was killed, she has devoted her life to protecting his legacy with great love and admiration. She was asked recently if she would ever remarry and she replied, "After John, how could I?" I'm with SteveMacD. I really adore LB&SN and they should have been higher on the list, but the Beatles placements belongs exactly where they are. Last edited by Nico; 07-12-2011 at 07:39 AM.. |

But still, John and Yoko FTW. And it's not my place to say who was the "greatest love story" on the list but I'd say it'd be them as well. They beat a lot of odds and took a lot of risks for their love. And no one can deny what they had was special. |

I've been an Arcade Fire fan since their humble beginnings playing in tiny clubs and I find the them fascinating. Win & Regine are like the mom and dad of a big crazy family, they make great music together, came on the scene very mysteriously (similar to Jack & Meg White), and they're both incredibly driven. Arcade Fire has not yet reached "legendary" status, but having just won their first Grammy I think they might be on their way! Other couples I've seen mentioned, i.e. Pat Benetar and Neil Geraldo, cetainly earn legendary status for managing to stay married in the biz but I think their domestic bliss maybe resulted in sacrificing huge successes. Similar to what Stevie says now about sacrificing love & happiness for fame. I saw Pat Benetar in concert a few years ago for free at a small town 4th of July festival. She rocked! But it doesn't seem to me that drama is the name of her game. The listed couples all had/have tumultuous, emotional, possibly violent, and/or intense relationships and created some heavy hitting stuff as a result. Just my opinion though. |

Keep going, I want to read more of your completely ignorant views regarding Yoko.

How precious (and ironic)- a so-called "musician" with a tin ear.

I can only speak for myself, but much of Yoko's music and art is inspirational. I have studied art and in the late 90's I purchased a career retrospective on her. Yoko Ono is a formidable talent in her genre, whether you want to believe it or not. And her music was not always based on "caterwauling," as she has many beautiful and poignant pieces. Her resurgence on the dance charts- which you sort of ignored in your response- is something to take note of. Those singles, for the most part, were made with John Lennon. He played on those records, and some of the best playing in his career actually. But in any case, I don't want to besmirch your opinions as you have every right to them. I look at this list and see it's called "legendary" and think that it makes perfect sense that two of the Beatles would be so high. As far as legends go, they can't really be touched. |

I can't say L&S should be in a higher place, because I'm a fan and can't be impartial.
Ok, the article says "both partners make music". Based on that, I really believe Ike & Tina should be higher, no matter how much attention they eclicted, they contributed far more, as a couple, than Paul & Linda. I repeat, as a couple. Wings were Wings because of Paul, IMHO, or maybe because Paul and members, but not because Paul and Linda. I mean without Linda, Wings would have been far less succesful? I don't think so. But without Ike (or Tina).. and of course without Lindsey (or Stevie)... hummm. And of course where is Pat and Neil?? James and Carly?? and all other couples you mentioned.

But I wouldn't like to know more about Yoko's music. What you say sounds interesting, maybe I judged too fast, but the only song I remember was one from 1982, something about my man, when she was singing Babalu-babalu-babalu, I love you, I love you. Babalu-babalu-babalu, I love you, I love you. I mean what was that?? Her voice sounded like Minnie Mouse, as I remember. And the video was ridiculously funny, sorry. So that song didn't make me research about Yoko other music works (I usually listen to a song and sometimes it makes look for the complete works of that band/singer. That happened to me with Pink Floyd, Simply Red, Pretenders, Annie Lennox, etc.. and of course Fleetwood Mac) What I do thing it was great was the story about how John met Yoko. It describes a Yoko's art work that I do agree with John it was beautiful. I would have loved to see the full exhibition: The viewer is invited to climb a white ladder, where at the top a magnifying glass, attached by a chain, hangs from a frame on the ceiling. The viewer uses the reading glass to discover a block letter "instruction" beneath the framed sheet of glass – it says "Y E S." It was through this work that Ono met her third husband and longtime collaborator, John Lennon." Lennon, when relating this story to Dick Cavett on his talk show in 1971, explained that if the word had been "no," he would have left the gallery and not come back, but was so moved by its positivity that he had to get to know Yoko. I'm not an artist but I agree with John. And I would have liked to see more of Yoko's art (sculptures, paints, but no music)

I've seen Nowhere Boy and I highly recommend it as well. I really came to understand John as a man and many of the things that made him such a complex and fascinating person. It all stemmed from his childhood. I recommend it to anyone, even people who could give a snit about the Beatles.
