#85 John Lennon, 'Plastic Ono Band' (1970)

John Lennon’s debut album and first issue of music since the official dissolution of The Beatles in April 1970, is raw musically and cathartic & introspective lyrically. A far cry from the music of his band. Lennon, and wife, Yoko Ono, undertook primal therapy following the public break up of his band, which inspired a lot of the music on ‘Plastic Ono Band.’ Opening with ‘Mother,’ the song addresses his feeling of abandonment by his parents (Lennon was famously raised by his Aunt Mimi)/
