Yoko Ono is a Japanese artist who is most widely known for her relationship with John Lennon of The Beatles. When Yoko first met John Lennon, she was an artist exhibiting in the UK. Working with artist group Fluxus throughout the 1960s, Ono was a pioneer in the burgeoning conceptual art movement which included work in sculpture, performance, filmmaking and music.
Ono collaborated with experimental luminaries such as John Cage and jazz legend Ornette Coleman. In 1961, years before meeting Lennon, she had her first major public performance in a concert at the 258-seat Carnegie Recital Hall (not the larger “Main Hall”). This concert featured radical experimental music and performances. She had a second engagement at the Carnegie Recital Hall in 1965, in which she debuted “Cut Piece,” a seminal performance within the conceptual art movement.
After John Lennon left the Beatles, the two artists collaborated on music together - working together on very different projects all underneath the umbrella of “Plastic Ono Band.” In 1971, Yoko Ono began to release a number of solo records. Fly - a double album that helped make her known for her caterwalling vocals. She also released two other, more conventional, albums during this time - Approximately Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space. Although Yoko’s work was poorly received initially, the albums have survived and aged well - proving to be part of the foundation of punk rock and new wave music.

Approximately Infinite Universe is a must-hear. It's a bit hit-and-miss, like most double albums, but her songwriting is superb on that record. For something more abstract, go for Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band or Fly.

I don't scrobble her first album as Plastic Ono Band and I don't scrobble the new one as such either. But that doesn't matter. On the first listen, the new album is pretty darn cool sounding.

I love all the retards coming here to bitch about the Beatles as if Yoko actually broke them up. As if them breaking up at their peak was a bad thing, even. They wouldn't have such a perfect legacy if they continued into old age as a caricature of themselves, like the Rolling Stones...
