    Is it possible that there is still not a John Lennon (as a soloist) thread? What do you guys think about his post-Beatles era?

    I've been deeply listening to John's discography in chronological order (I recommend it so bad) and I found several pearls.

    Also, I found some intresting and surprising lyrics to analyze. E.g.:

    "I don't believe in Beatles
    I just believe in me, Yoko, and me, and that's reality
    The dream is over
    What can I say?
    The Dream is over
    Yesterday"


    Song: God
    Album: Plastic Ono Band, 1970

    This one really shocks me :-O. He wrote that just 1 year after The Beatles breaking up. I mean... Everyone knows (more or less) what was going on between them, but this lyrics sound pretty much direct and strong... Right?
