Yoko Ono ‎– Starpeace

I don't love all YO albums evenly. The driving disco/post disco background rhythms on StarPeace and what I've heard on other 1980-vintage Ono songs often ruins it for me in the majority of songs. I do like musical experiments and I do appreciate the words/themes/concepts but to me the music rarely does it justice or pull together the songs to make the 80s songs good (for me). I like best the last 5 songs the best on StarPeace: You and I, It's Gonna Rain, StarPeace, I Love you Earth, and Yoko's interpretation of Imagine.

This record made me feel like a child again. This record helped me get over stupid inhibitions about what I thought was cool and what wasn't cool. This record made me start asking people what they thought of Yoko Ono, invariably following up with why they disliked her, and mentioning this record. This record makes me laugh all the time, sometimes at Yoko's vocal delivery (so unassumingly odd), sometimes at the whole concept of the song. But don't get me wrong, this record is good-good, not bad-good. These are songs, not squawkings. And even though I'm still getting all of it, why do I get the feeling that this record is better than all of the Plastic Ono Band output?
