Walls and Bridges has always been my favorite Lennon album since it was released in 1974.

I agree. Shaved Fish is excellent! I love it. If you’re only going to buy one Lennon album, Shaved Fish should be the one.

I wonder why “Shaved fish” isn’t included in this list, it was released in autumn 1975, and it was also my first JL album, which incited me to buy-as often as I could afford it in those days-all the other available Lennon LPs! I was a lennon fan 5 years prior to the murder, and at the time, it was the only LP featuring “Cold turckey, Instant karma, Power to the people, happy Xmas, and a very edited Give peace a chance. John chose himself the tracks he wanted on that compilation, the only solo one he released during his lifetime.

I would say (IMHO) that about half of POB & half of “Imagine” would make up John’s finest studio album overall, although there are a number of later tracks that I like.

First Lennon LP that I actually owned was “Shaved Fish”, even though I already had a number of the singles that were on it.
