John Lennon's solo work has been anthologized so many times that it's hard to believe there wasn't a definitive compilation before this one. And, depending on your particular take, you might not find Lennon Legend quite hitting the mark. However, since it does contain the brilliantly scathing "Working Class Hero," doesn't ignore the woefully underrated Rock 'n' Roll album, and catches the hopeful renewal that came toward the end of his foreshortened life, it's probably about as close as anyone's going to come. His great songs shine, meditations like "Imagine" and his rockers had form and content, as in "Whatever Gets You Through the Night." He was an icon, and this does him justice. --Chris Nickson

Imagine a place where the personal, political, and emotional elements of John Lennon's music converge together seamlessly in one cohesive production. An assortment of his finest solo work, Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon is of great interest to anyone who's ever been a fan of the Beatles, the Plastic Ono Band, Yoko Ono, or simply the genius himself. Ranging from a rendition of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" to the sounds of the Plastic Ono Band and the Harlem Community Choir on "Happy Xmas" and the classic anti-war anthem "Give Peace A Chance", the recordings assembled here stand as a testament to one of rock's most complex and influential musical talents. If you believe that Lennon's greatest period of creativity came to an end with the Beatles, you owe yourself a listen to this album.

Breathtakingly Beautiful!.......2007-07-10
This album emcompasses the beauty that is my son John! I love you sweetheart!
Mom
Lots of great songs,.......2007-07-03
and two or three that are not. This is the most complete collection of Lennon's solo work I've heard. Lennon reminds me of the old poem about the little girl with the curl in the middle of her head. When he was good, he was very, very, good ("Imagine"), when he was bad, he was horrid (the primal scream stuff he did with Yoko, which fortunately isn't included here).
just about all of his greatest hits........2007-04-11
what can I say, this cd has most if not all of his greatest hits after the beatles broke up
Missing.......2007-03-29
"Happy Xmas War Is Over" and "Cold Turkey" could easily have been left off this compilation in order to make room for one of Lennon's most haunting and beautiful melodies, "Old Dirt Road," which was penned by Lennon and Harry Nilson during their partying days in LA. Too bad.
Great Collection.......2007-03-17
This is a great collection of some of John Lennon's best songs.
I love it!

Perfect.......2007-02-20
LENNON LEGEND is a perfect greatest hits collection. Twenty tracks of John Lennon's solo career are presented, and there's not a bad one in the bunch. A twenty page booklet has some great B&W repros of John photos. This album simply is "The Very Best Of John Lennon." Highest recommendation.

Truly the Best of John Lennon.......2000-07-28
This CD takes you from John's solo years on Apple Records to the Double Fantasy era. Without a doubt, this is truly a greatest hits collection from one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Once you listen to this CD, you will immediately see why John Lennon was the lyrical genius behind the Beatles.
As for the songs themselves; well, what can I say?. . . .You've heard them many times before. However, this CD gives you the chance to own all of John's greatest hits on one CD.
Another plus for this CD. . . it doesn't venture back to the days when John was a Beatle to add some of his Beatle compositions on this CD. No, you're not going to get Revolution, In My Life, Help, or any of John's other Beatle compositions. This CD is purely John Lennon; as a solo artist. Also, this CD gives you a perspective of John's life from the days the Beatles became legend to his Dakota years.
The sound quality of this CD is outstanding. John's voice and the instrumentation never sounded better.
This CD is definitely a plus to any audio collection.
