Yoko Ono

ICBM

If you're genuinely interested, have a listen to some of this.

L7 sampled Yoko’s caterwauling to great effect on Wargasm, along with one of the greatest guitar riffs known to humanity

No Yoko content, but I've got the album Diamanda Galas did with John Paul Jones in the 1990s.  She's screechy as hell, but at least the music is good, unlike that awful plodding rubbish on those Lennon tracks.

I don’t know what to say. I saw the Yoko art gallery “voice piece for soprano…” thing years ago. Thought it was funny. My 7yo makes some weird noises when she’s being an idiot, sounds like Yoko. So I showed her. Now we call her Yoko Ono when she’s making stupid noises. She thinks it’s hilarious. I’ve thought about outing her as an impersonator for extra $$$

Looking at it, it’s made up from one of the videos above but with a backing track

Truly awful.

She's as mad as a shipping container filled to the brim with tripping batrachians.

I wonder if she'd consider doing an album of covers with Bill Shatner?

I'd love to hear her scream the original Trek theme.

Yoko was proof of two things.

1. You can get away with any old shit if you call it art.
2. Not enough people said "no" to John Lennon.

That's like going to a church wedding or carol service and listening to the person next to you trying to sing a hymn they don't know.

It's just expression chaps, some like Constable, some like Jackson Pollock, both art and both as valid as each other.

I have the 12" 45 of "Walking On Thin Ice" and it's a very good record.

That's all.

As much as I hate to derail an otherwise-entertaining thread, Toto's "Africa" was already not great to begin with...  

It's the curse... everyone knows Toto for "Africa", like everyone knows Aerosmith for "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing".

They have a lot of good stuff too... "Hold the Line", "Rosanna"... I found their last album "XV" thoroughly enjoyable!

Wonder what they'll call their next one

Re Yoko @ art gallery

The anti abortionists should run a loop of this "audio" at the entrance,wards and corridors of abortion clinics 

The numbers will soon fall
