The 80s kinda sucked, music wise

 

I don't think there is one thing I agree with you on but this is the only issue that causes me to believe you have no soul.

Sinead O'Connors first album, "The Lion and the Cobra" was actually pretty good too.  Maybe not essential, but a great debut.

I love Lennon's tunes on Double Fantasy. I remember my stepdad being so pissed off that they didn't just put Lennon's songs on one side of the album and put Yoko's songs on the other side. Instead, they are all mixed together. My stepdad had to keep getting up after every song to skip over the next Yoko song. Gotta love vinyl. Still makes me laugh when I think of it.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I just remember there being 4 or 5 really strong songs on the radio from that album.  Didn't know there were any Yucko songs on there.  Ha!

[Ray McKigney]

Yeah, half of the songs are Yoko's. They're all horrendous pieces of shit, but the song "Kiss Kiss Kiss" is especially nauseating.

[Ray McKigney]

That's video is hilarious. I've never understood why Lennon appreciated Yoko's art and music so much. I think he took too much acid during the Sgt. Pepper era. Gave him permanent beer goggles and damaged his hearing.
