John nation, open your hearts and tell us your favorite John Lennon albums! My turn:
Walls and Bridges is a kiss on my forehead whenever I need comfort. I don't know why, but I know how: I feel like John was in a moment with so many different emotions inside him all at once that he made pure art.
Bless You, my favorite song of all, comes from that album and it touched my heart. I cried, took a deep breath and thought, "This is the John I love." I also feel like he was at a point where expressing himself differently was therapy in the form of melody.
My second favorite album is
Plastic Ono Band and I have no words to explain it. It's real, intense, warm and it felt like all of John in one album. While
Walls And Bridges calms me down,
Plastic Ono Band makes me want to live.
John was so special that everything he touched became special too and that's why he is eternal, he was something else from thos universe.
How about you? Tell me.
