I love his drumming on that album, I think it's definitely his best and it makes him one of my favourite drummers.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

By the way, Alan White, Yes`drummer, played with Lennon in the "Imagine" album and in the "Instant Karma" single. He also appears in some tracks from Harrison`s "All things must pass" album, but it is impossible to kwow on which tracks he played.
 

Phil Collins also played congas on "All Things Must Pass" (allegedly).
 
Yes. It seems that he played congas  in the song called "Art of Dying", as the allthingsmustpass.com website said when I visited it when the album was re-issued in 2001 . I don`t know if the website is still available in the web.

Ringo`s drumming was praised in the "The Beatles Recording Sessions" book (written by Mark Lewisohn, 1988) even by George Martin, who said that Ringo is a very good time keeper and that he rarely made mistakes during the recording sessions.
 
I think that Ringo is also a humble person, and his funny commentaries in the "Anthology" video are very good, maybe the best done by any member of the band in that video.

Pretty much anything off the Plastic Ono Band album - Working Class Hero, Love, Isolation etc.  Phil Spector's stripped back production is perfectly suited to Lennon's soul-baring songs. At the time of writing Lennon was experimenting with primal scream therapy - the album communicates a similarly cathartic experience.  In my opinion it is the best of all the post-Beatles albums.


Yep.  Summed up nicely.  Clap

I do not think that Lennon and Mccartney were more than adequate without each other. John needed McCartney's genius for melodies (Some Time in New York City album on Apple 1972) and Paul needed to be restrained from indulging in too much whimsy (Wild Life album on Apple 1971). George Harrison also required the influence of the other Beatles. His songwriting,  as in something on Abbey Road,  seemed to point the way to a successful solo career that was nver fulfilled (Dark Horse album 1974). 
 
Wings' made one strong album, Band On the Run, which sounded as though it consisted of material held back from the Beatles, a bit like Phil Collins' first solo album which  came across like demos for Genesis. Strangely, John Lennon's poetry (not lyric writing) is very interesting and a bit underrated. Of course post-Beatles he was in the thrall of, and incapacitated by, the talentless Yoko Ono. Other Beatles/Apple Corps-associated musicians did not fare much better. Badfinger endured the terrible tragedy of a double suicide while Harry Nilsson suffered the indignity, on his death, of having Without You covered by Mariah Carey.

That's okay, it wasn't his song!

Even is not "typical" Lennon solo song, I voted for WOMAN. The greatest song he wrote after Beatles era and one of his best, in my opinion.

I think part of the reason George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album did so well right off the bat is because he'd been overshadowed so much by Paul and John.  When he was finally out from under their shadow (sorry that I keep on using the shadow metaphor), he blossomed.  (Flower metaphor.  Hm.)  Also, he had written some--or most?--of those songs while with the Beatles, which was a hotbed of creativity.  

That was my metaphor quota for the day.Dead
