Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band – I'm Going Away Smiling

Biography
It was recorded simultaneously with her husband’s John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band at Ascot Sound Studios and Abbey Road Studios using the same musicians and production team.
Initially on Apple Records, through EMI, Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band was released to considerable critical disdain in 1970, at a time when Ono was being widely blamed for the break-up of The Beatles. Notable exceptions were the estimations of Billboard who called it ‘visionary’ and critic Lester Bangs who supported it in Rolling Stone. More recently, the album has been credited (like those of The Velvet Underground) with having an influence, particularly on musicians, grossly disproportionate to its sales and visibility. Critic David Browne of Entertainment Weekly, has credited the album with “launching a hundred or more female alternative rockers, like Kate Pierson of the B-52s to current thrashers like L7 and Courtney Love of Hole.”

The Sun Is Down! isn't bad at all. Not even a bit. Not even a half of a half of a half (...) of a bit.

Why does she sound like she's having intercourse in half of her songs..i like her, i'm not being negative. Just noticed that

The music is actually fine, don't know why all the negative comments...maybe people can't see the cleverness in her style.

I think most of the folks that blame her for the fall of the Beatles are either poorly informed on Lennon, or just having a good laugh at a well-worn joke. The latter doesn't really bother me.

I think the haters have not heard a lick of her music in fact, and are basing their hate solely on decades old (and dismissed) rumors that she somehow caused the Beatles to break up. As if it wasn't a good thing they broke up at that time and left a perfect legacy. Besides, the kind of folks prone to that tired line of thought probably have tired tastes and wouldn't like her music anyway.
