it said on the box that it was original punk rock...this is not punk it sounds like stuff my dad like. i know alot about punk and it wasn't in the 60's... it happened a few years ago when green day came out don't be fooled if you want to here real good punk, by the new blink 182 take off your pants and jacket cd or the mark tom and travis show cd by blink it really good and much better than this...That's hard to top, and today's idiotic review doesn't top it. Sorry to get your hopes up. But it is pretty stupid. It's in a review of the latest John Lennon release (well one of them) of acoustic songs.
This CD is horrible. I'm not a Lennon or Beatles fan mind you so maybe I'm biased, but I had to listen to this tripe in the car the other day and it was the worst thing I've ever heard. I don't understand why people don't just move on. Music has a time and a period in which it should be listened to. John Lennon died over 20 years ago, meaning his music expired well over 20 years ago as well. This music was lame then, and it's lamer (not sure if that's a word, but you get the point) now. Please do not continue to purchase the albums of long dead idiots. Buy something new, because 20 years from now what you just bought will be old and washed up, and you don't want to have some album of songs by some dead guy recorded 40 years ago taking up space in your precious home.How many of you are making a list of dead guys that made brilliant music? Bob Marley. Miles Davis. Janis Joplin (not technically a guy, but dead, and brilliant). Beethoven. Jimi Hendrix. Kurt Corbain. George Gershwin. Louis Armstrong. Jim Morrison, Billie Holiday. Ian Curtis. Lots of others I'm not thinking of.
And John Lennon was never lame. And to prove it here are the lyrics to Working Class Hero.
Working Class Hero
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
