John Lennon - Mind Games and Walls & Bridges
Both records produced by Lennon himself with all the maturity of a legendary songwriter and musician. It's actually hard to describe the songs on these two records because they both offer so much in terms of actual music and writing - texture, balladry, arrangement, philosophy,goofiness. You won't hear too much of about the critical success of these albums. Imagine and Plastic Ono Band are typically held in higher regard in the Lennon solo catalog. It's kind of sad in a way because as great as those two albums are, Mind Games and Walls & Bridges strike me as more intelligent musical pieces, deeply personal and exciting. A grown man making grown up music, probably sounds boring to some, but I'm takin' 'em with me.
