This Record Should Be Play Loud!!!

Walls and Bridges is the fifth official album by English rock musician John Lennon, released in October 1974. Recorded and issued during his separation from Yoko Ono, the album captures Lennon in the midst of his infamous "lost weekend", a period that lasted eighteen months. It was a #1 hit album and featured Lennon's only #1 single as a solo artist during his lifetime, Whatever Gets You Thru The Night.

Imagine is John Lennon's second solo album and is considered the most popular of his solo works. Recorded and released in 1971, the album tended toward songs that were gentler, more commercial and less avant-garde than the ones he released on his more critically acclaimed previous album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The difference, he said, was that Imagine was "chocolate-coated for public consumption", in reference to the string sections prevalent throughout the album.
