The Rewind Button is a group blogging project that I’m participating in. We’re taking on Rolling Stone‘s Top 40 albums of all time and writing our own reviews of them.

I don’t own this album, so I searched for it on Grooveshark to see if it was on there for me to listen to. However, I forgot the name of the album, and I ended up listening to some Yoko Ono solo album by accident for at least three songs. Surely, I thought to myself, this is not one of Rolling Stone‘s Top 40 albums of all time. I finally figured out my mistake and left Yoko’s album in my memory.

John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band is a good album. Not great. If it was great, I’d be able to write thousands of words about it. If it was terrible, I’d be able to write thousands of words about it. It’s good, so I’m only able to muster a few hundred words.

Quickly, though, a question: Why does it sound like Cookie Monster saying “cookie” at about 6:45 into the album (during the song “Hold On”)?

“Working Class Hero” and “Love” are my favorite songs on the album, and I found myself listening to them over and over again. I don’t think I’ll listen to the album as much again as I’ve listened to it leading up to this review. Sure, if you come over and put it on, I’m not going to turn it off. But as with many solo albums from The Beatles, I’d rather listen to the band than their individual efforts.
