Yoko Ono Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band

"Here is where Ono jumps fully from art icon to musical maverick with a sound that would be attempted, mutated and covered, but never duplicated."
Ranked #10 on Spin's list of the "Top 10 Reissues."
"...Ono and her voice are the complete focus. Her chattering, glottal vocalese, which at times resembles the performance poetry of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters, proves itself to be a powerful engine for moving non-weird rock grooves into plains of extreme otherness..."
"...the band took commercial rock 'n' roll kicking and screaming into the twisted world of avant-garde improvisation, attacking scales and rhythms with enough sonic violence to make both John Zorn and Thurston Moore plug their ears in mortal terror..."
"...It wouldn't be entirely ridiculous to call it the first completely successful avant-garde rock record....among the finest, strangest and most original of its time."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] triumph, in part, because it sounds fully aware of this reality. It's also iconic because it contains some of Lennon's most aggressive guitar work."
