| Literally blinding, when I was listening to it, my eyes melted. But seriously, a collection of some of the more popular John Lennon numbers and ridiculously easy to listen to |

| Outstanding words and music from the Man who made us all think about the finer things in life. I also recommend "Across the Universe", on DVD, for all you diehard Lennon fans. Great story and music. Thanks very much. Ron Caylor |

... your appreciation of lennon's solo output cannot be complete until you listen to/possess two of lennon's best albums : imagine and jl/plastic ono band.
there are only two tracks from each of the two albums in this collection.
with these two albums and this collection which also incidentally favors (6 tracks!)lennon's other great album "double fantasy", you will have a strong representation of lennon's best solo work.
btw i cannot comprehend how anybody can leave out such a beautiful number like "hold on" from any lennon best of/collection. |

| The title of this album speaks for itself, the very best of John Lennon. It is the very best, I loved all the songs on this C.D. the price is definitely very good. It is very sad that this legend is no longer with us. It is not fair he didn't even have a chance to be knighted as Sir John Lennon like Sir Paul. |

| The Lennon Legend truly was the very best in my opinion. It is a perfect mix of slow and rocking songs. I defitely reccommend this music collection to anyone who does not already own a Lennon CD. |

I love John Lennon and this cd has most of my favorite songs on it. When it arrived, the cd itself was in great condition, though the case was a little cracked.
What's more, it actually arrived on the estimated date! |

Calling this amazing collection of songs "emotionally brilliant" is really the only way to describe it. You have one of the most successful and powerful singer-songwriters of all-time, captured almost flawlessly in this 20-track collection of songs.
You have the early favorites such as "Imagine", "Instant Karma!" and "Jealous Guy". Then you have the four songs included from the Double Fantasy album. In between are a bunch of forgotten favorites that you will surely recognize upon listening to them. I'm really surprised the Christmas song is included here as well. I love that song, and I know some people who've said it moves them to tears every December. "Mother" has some of the most honest feelings ever put on tape. That song FLOORED me the first time I played it. His version of "Stand By Me" surpasses the original, and "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night" used to be a popular radio favorite at one time. The same can be said for "No. 9 Dream".
There will never EVER be a songwriter able to combine emotion, talent, beauty and importance ever again. There's only one John Lennon, and while some may argue Paul McCartney and the Wings had more success, it's impossible to deny John Lennon deserves credit for having nonstop honesty throughout his career and just as much talent for writing solid melodies. Lyrically John Lennon is truly gifted and had absolutely no fear saying whatever he felt like. That makes him a brilliant musician. Pick up this 20-track collection today. It doesn't GET any better. |

This is sooooo close to being the final say on Lennon, along with Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. Two little switcheroos would've elevated it to that position. Off with Power to the People (seriously, what a crappy song!), and on with Steel and Glass. And while I understand including Stand By Me to represent Rock and Roll (which, incidentally, is pathetic) just for balance's sake, how about if we Bring on the Lucie here? The lack of God and Crippled Inside is a bit annoying, but as I said you really need Ono Band and kinda need Imagine (it's not in Ono Band's league, but it can be brilliant in spots).
Other than that, this has everything you need. Mother, Love, Working Class Hero, Imagine, Jealous Guy (my favorite Lennon song), Mind Games, Whatever Gets You Thru the Night, #9 Dream, Woman, Watching the Wheels, Borrowed Time, (Just Like) Starting Over, Happy Xmas (War is Over), the REAL Give Peace a Chance (not the gutted version on Shaved Fish), Cold Turkey, Instant Karma, Nobody Told Me... if you're wondering what the big deal about Lennon is, which obviously means you've been living in a cave on Pluto's moon Charon, this and pretty much every Beatles album will convince you of that. |

| But eventually you will need to buy his albums if you want to really experience Lennon. This compilation just doesn't quite do justice. One thing that I was disappointed about is that the Sometime in New York album was completely left off. |
