Just out of curiosity, how come no one on this forum ever mentions these experimental John/Yoko albums?

-Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins
-Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions
-Wedding Album

Sure, they're not what most would consider actual music, but they're pretty interesting albums. The oddly hypnotic "John & Yoko" from Wedding Album and the ear-shattering "Cambridge 1969" from Life With The Lions are some of the most interesting, in my book.

I think I listened to it only once. I was shocked and ashamed.

I have to confess, I've never heard any of them. Nor Georges Electronic Sounds.

I was dismayed and vexed.
Though I have never listened to them.

I can't stand Yoko at the best of times - and no, I don't blame her - even her stuff on Lennon's solo albums makes me gag, so I think this stuff is hardly going to fill my world with joy.

Give us your own personal review then. Make me want to hear them.

I have all three of the ablums, all bought in different countries! I don't hardly listen to them though, apart from life w/lions and a bit of wedding album occaisonally. Wedding ablum is the most interesting IMO, cuz it has like interviews!

I was shocked & stunned!

Yeah, shocked. And stunned.

Very Stunned!

And shocked!

I didn't know wheather John was taking the piss when he released these with
Yoko. I'm sure it was amusing when they did them.. but to release them?
Two Virgins is quite funny when i listen to it.

I think "I'm a genius" John truly believed he was producing cutting edge art at the time. Maybe he was. Avante gard isn't my cup of tea so it all looks/sounds like rubbish to me, but I know that's because I don't understand it. Not that I want to.

Ying/Yang, Oriental/Occidental, Flotsam/Jetsam, Good/Evil--you get the point--one extreme or the other.  John had been so cooped up in the proverbial 'Beatle bubble', that he took his leverage to do whatever he wanted, so why not thrash and lash out any way he pleased?  Didn't make for much entertainment, I mean, if you are having a nice dinner or (God forbid) housework, none of the 3 albums makes for good soundtrack or even white noise (though that's literally what it is).  I'm like most of you--listen to it once out of curiosity and put it in the collectible pile of yer memorabilia.  I read somewhere that John considered these to be disposable, like newspapers, that you read once and then thrown away.  The irony of this is that  they charged a fairly hefty price for the time, and my Japanes imports (with virgin vinyl) were pretty expensive.  Oh well, worth it for a Beatlegeek like me.          
      

and how about those movies they made??????

and how about those movies they made??????

I guess some of the movies like "Fly" are getting alot of aclaim in Japan and parts of Europe.  So the Ocean Child is getting her due, but I don't buy it.  Art for art's sake, free-form jazz that is just a bunch of crap but gets lauded as art is for the feeble or those that must be more cerebral than I am (it's usually just for the people that don't 'get it').  Wotever you enjoy, I guess.
