Anyone else got this. Just listening to it now. I'm a huge Lennon fan and was a bit if'y about this as some of the covers over the years have been woefull
have to say all in all it's a pretty cool album

I saw that Christina Aguilera and Green Day were doing covers and thought better of giving it the benefit of the doubt

Is it Greenday does the "Working Class Hero" cover? Vandalism of the highest order.

they dont do a bad job of it tbh. (green day that is) i think the biggest criticism of it(the album) is that a lot of the songs are repeated. I mean its john lennon for gods sake. couldnt get an albums worth of songs out of his solo career? still good to see someone covering gimme some truth.

Of that lot I'd be interested in hearing the Jackson Browne and Regina Spektor covers and that's it. I'm sure U2 butcher Instant Karma too

IMO Bono should have been tried for crimes against Lennon years ago.

What song have you in mind here? The only u2 song I can think of would be their version of Helter Skelter; but that's a McCartney song.
