What an unbelievable strand of opinions below, of loving and loathing. It's not only revealing on the basis of the simple truism of people having different taste in music and art. The weird thing revealed (and sort of funny, but also disturbing) is some are guilty of POLICING, dictating the limits of what good art is - that there is only one opinion, their own. Implying if a work of art is not liked on a personal basis it is not valid, which of course displays a profound ignorance: given people like different things and when there are clearly so many other people who do appreciate the art in question.
Such narrow and singular approach to the appreciation of art and music is a blindness, is death to art. Art, amongst many things, is about varieties of expression, the exploration of the infinite human soul and resulting expression. A good civilisation allows the cultivation of this variety in art (a fascist state, as example, dictates, kills the creative voice as reflected in some of the opinions below).
Yoko Ono is a genius with her exploration and expression of her own soul, of humanity, hope, life and politics. There are many (including John Lennon of course) who know this of Yoko and love her work for it. John Lennon was attracted to Yoko because of her deep awareness and success in the art world. Yes, setting aside the beautiful aspects of which there are many, there are odd things in Yoko’s work, some very odd things, some difficult things, I’m not going to go into details here; the point is, including the odd and the sometimes ugly, Ono’s art is part of a more complete picture of reality, a bigger vision than many other artists embrace.
Some think 'taste' in art / music is a gift or simply a part of an individual’s identity. “I have good taste”: there is a lot of pretentiousness around such a type of ‘taste’. “I don’t like that”: in reality is not a boast, it is a setting of parameters, it is a clear declaration that that person lacks the ability to appreciate the piece, it is an ignorance.
[Negative criticism is useful, but the below is not proper negative critique.]

Her finest music work seems to be evident in the music of those she inspired. As for Yoko, well, hail to the godmother of outoftune.

My hero. Yoko's the best. Her music is so important to me! With her I learned to be myself always, no matter what people think. A true force of nature, one of the greatest artists ever.

Although this is a bootleg. This record should appear in the list of Yoko Ono albums. I found it by chance here in Discogs:

One of the worst voices ever be on a pop record. The only hit she ever came close to having was "Walking on Thin Ice" because Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles used to spin the record back in the day.

Yoko Ono is for sure one of the greatest avant garde (unknown??) musicians. I think that she is like a Japanese-American Stockhausen! Yoko Ono is a music and art genius!
