The frick!!! You only have
Plastic Ono Band. Dude, no.
That is pitiful.
I mean, POB is a work of art. In undergrad I wrote a fantastic paper arguing the significance of POB as a confessional piece of musical art in the 20th century. It was a one-of-a-kind, never done before masterpiece. I can't praise it enough. POB is so different from the Beatles that it really shook people up a little and, obviously, some even stopped following John in favor of Paul because Paul's stuff was pretty Beatle-lite.
I would go with these next...
1. Double Fantasy stripped + Double Fantasy remastered
2. Walls & Bridges
3. Imagine
4. Rock and Roll
5. Mind Games
6. Milk & Honey
7. Sometime in NYC
8. Live Peace In Toronto
9. Lennon Anthology box
10. Lennon compilation that has all his songs including singles released
**after this I would start looking for some hard-to-find demos, man. There is some BRILLIANT stuff out there. I have some if you want and I'm happy to share.**
John is
da MAN.
