Yoko Ono - 20 greatest tracks

[Hollis]

Luke Haines was recommending this on Twitter...

I gave it a listen overnight fully expecting it to be rubbish - however - it appears Yoko has turned out some brilliant stuff over the years - experimental and something for everyone.

Even better for those that drink at the dark cup of Spotify there's a playlist of all the tracks here:

I trod on my dog's tail earlier and could have sworn that Yoko was in the room

 

[SpookyFrank]

It's manifestly not.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's manifestly not.

in your opinion.
I never listen to the Beatles, but I still listen to that. Never gets old like the rest of it

 

[Hollis]

It's actually very late period Scott Walker, only written 35 years before. Supurb!

The '70s called and wanted their jokes back, etc

Went to the Yoko Ono Exhibition at the Tate Modern today.. they had this song with the version from Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival.. You are right great song..

Interesting exhibition... she was far out there.. way before Lennon.

Watched all 24 minutes of 'Fly' which saw various young couples come in, giggle for a few minutes, and then leave.

Loved the virtual exhibition she decided to hold at the MOMO without them knowing, and spent an hour watching some documentary on the Toronto peace-in..

And white chess... you play as long as you can remember your pieces..

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Yes that exhibition is excellent. As well as Fly, I really liked the films about young artists in post war Tokyo she is in.

Here is me at the exhibition, performing her “Bag Piece”. the first ever photo of me posted to U75.

Obviously everyone is focusing on the 'mad yoko' stuff. But she has done loads of interesting stuff.
. . . and she has nice voice.





I do like moonbeams tho

I was at the private view (free champagne, B-list celeb heavy crowd) for her ICA exhibition about 20 years ago. I wandered about with my tattered copy of “Grapefruit”, drinking as much of the free fizz as was humanly possible while trying to find her to sign it but to no avail. Later I met up with Mrs SFM who’d not only seen her but briefly chatted to her as well. I was gutted
