| | Rock 'n' Roll (John Lennon album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rock 'n' Roll is a 1975 album of late 1950s and early 1960s-era rock songs covered by John Lennon. | | | As soon as Lennon split with Yoko Ono and arrived in Los Angeles in the fall of 1973 with May Pang, he teamed up with Phil Spector to record a cover album of Lennon's favorite rock'n'roll hits. | | | With Lennon producing, he cut the bulk of what became the Rock'n'Roll album in October 1974, and handed the tapes to Levy. |

| | John Lennon - Rock 'n' Roll - Free Encyclopedia |
| | "Rock 'n' Roll" was Lennon's 1976 album of covers of 1950s and 1960s rock songs, produced by Phil Spector. | | | The album was not a success, although after Lennon's death "Stand By Me" got radio play. | | | The making of the album was torn by Lennon's personal disintegration and drug use living in Los Angeles, California separated from his wife Yoko Ono and his volatile, unstable partnership with Spector. |

| | John Lennon |
| | Rock 'N' Roll was the source of several out-takes that surfaced on Menlove Avenue, and Lennon's last album before Double Fantasy, as he took a five-year break to serve as househusband and father to Sean Ono Lennon. | | | But pop music isn't her forte, and I think most people would've rather had a whole Lennon album, especially after a five-year break, than have to listen to a bunch of Ono songs. | | | I've got the live album from this set (one studio, one live), and it's an unlistenable mess, with Yoko screaming her head off through most of the sloppy, pointless big-band jamming, which alternately features an all-star British pickup band, or Frank Zappa's post-Mothers group (the tapes came from two different concerts). |

| | John Lennon Album Reviews |
| | However, The John Lennon Collection largely rectifies this problem, grouping together most of the best songs from his inessential solo albums while barely touching Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, his two best post-Beatles albums which should be heard in their entirety. | | | The John Lennon Collection (Capitol ’82) Rating: A- After Lennon’s initial burst of creativity following his departure from The Beatles, his career was frustratingly erratic (when he was actually recording, that is, which wasn't nearly often enough), and of course he was murdered in 1980 just as he seemed to be getting back on track. | | | Imagine (Apple ’71) Rating: A- Lennon declared that “Imagine had the same message as Plastic Ono Band, but it was sugar-coated,” and musically this melodic album is more fully fleshed out and accessible than Plastic Ono Band. |

| | Adrian's Album Reviews : John Lennon |
| | But, honestly, this album isn't a masterpiece, and is over-rated. | | | Oh, and Lennon was one of the perpetrators for "over-production" in pop music. | | | this album is without doubt the best solo beatle album.i have never heard such a moving collection of songs that really show the pain and hell lennon was going through at the time.never in the history of music had anybody put their very soul on record quite like that.ahead of its time. |

| | John Lennon: Acoustic / Rock 'n' Roll: Pitchfork Review |
| | While Rock 'n' Roll is a wistful look at rock's lost innocence, Acoustic hunkers down in the humdrum here-and-now of 1970s existence. | | | Much criticism has been hurled at the album's ubiquitous brass, but on the new recording, bouncy horns and newly vivid bass enliven even previously unspectacular songs like "Ya Ya", although the cod-reggae "Do You Wanna Dance" will forever be a concept by which Lennon fans measure their pain. | | | Interestingly, Lennon replaces "I don't believe in Zimmerman" with the less cryptic "I don't believe in Dylan." As always, the song concludes with Lennon's statement of faith in himself. |

| | The songs are by and large outstanding, but as an album it lacks focus. | | | Many of the tracks are available on other albums which makes the purchase of Acoustic somewhat inessential. | | | Albums including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, and Double Fantasy stand out but the rest of the music (despite some being rather experimental) were clearly the work of a modern genius singer-songwriter. |

| | John Lennon - Walls and Bridges Album Review |
| | John Lennon solo album (not counting the non music ones), still, it's not that bad. | | | The one thing about this entire album is that Lennon's voice sounds great, as usual, and why some of the poorer songs rate as high as they do. | | | Recorded during Lennon's "lost weekend", while he was separated from Yoko Ono, he seems to lose a bit of his inspiration with her gone, even thought one or two of the songs are about her. |

| | Consistent with the pedestrian stature of the album is the reissue inclusion of a paltry four bonus tracks, all of which add nothing of discernible value. | | | In actuality, the tracks tarnish Lennon's efforts as they are, for the most part, ponderous, with "To Know Her Is to Love Her" entering the sonic region of excruciating. | | | The most noteworthy aspect of the album was the involvement of Phil Spector, whose mere presence assured controversy. |

| | The enduring legacy of John Lennon's best album has overshadowed a glaring historical irony: the Beatles' original architect was also responsible for some of the Fab Four's most erratic solo albums. | | | John Lennon's work outside of the Beatles is a strange beast (or group of beasts) to consider. | | | This digitally remixed/remastered redux of the album may invoke the ire of the historically retentive, but it was accomplished under the aegis of Yoko Ono with an ear for clarity and a little more of John Lennon's complex, but always gratifying, soul. |

| | The band managed to record an album in 1968 (produced by Tom Conner) and released from it a truly galvanizing (and very rare) single which explored both sides of the band. | | | Among the first rock groups of this era in the Motor City to land a record deal, their much awaited first album on Mainstream was dreadfully recorded (with all the defects that were typical of the times) and features perhaps one of the ugliest covers ever printed (see image). | | | John Lennon, when asked what he thought of B,S and T said: "They are good but I don't like such disciplined music." He couldn't say that about All the Lonely People. |

| | Accompanied solely by his functional acoustic guitar on most of these lo-fi, post-Beatles recordings, Lennon’s candid vocals take on a primal intimacy—you know he means every word, whether he’s dealing with the mundane (“Watching the Wheels”) or the metaphysical (“Imagine,” “God”). | | | A collection of home demos and live cuts, Acoustic demonstrates what we already know: John Lennon’s voice is a singularly expressive instrument; the only singer in his class is Dylan. | | | More artifact than album, Acoustic is nonetheless gripping from moment to moment. |
