3. Yep, I posted in that thread and named it as one of my favorites
"Plastic Ono Band" may have been Lennon's first "official" solo album (not counting "Live Peace In Toronto"), but for me, the REAL "first solo album" is all of his stuff from The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be (PLUS "Don't Let Me Down"...I'll never understand why that didn't make the final cut for "Let It Be").
It's especially interesting how The Beatles wove George and Ringo's songs into Abbey Road's two "Parallel Suites"...John had the Mean Mr. Mustard / Polythene Pam / Sun King thing going on while McCartney was doing the "You Never Give Me Your Money / Golden Slumbers / The End" arc.
I've read in a number of sources that they wanted "Abbey Road"...their actual "final" album...to stand as proof that they could still deliver. They certainly proved it to me.
