10 Perfect Posthumous Rock Albums

10. Milk and Honey - John Lennon

There are only a handful of deaths in the music world where it truly felt like the world stopped. Since these are people who provided the soundtracks for our lives, you can pretty much pinpoint where you were when you heard that they had passed. Though people like Michael Jackson and Dimebag Darrell were gods of their respective genres, losing John Lennon felt like losing a family member.

After being gunned down outside of his apartment building in 1980, it stung that much more when we heard Double Fantasy. Refreshed from embracing home life, it looked like John was about to come into his own with his new record, only to have his life be cut short before he could start. That didn't mean that he had stopped working once he put his final record out, with Milk and Honey arriving a few years later.

Much like Double Fantasy, this is a trade off cycle of songs between him and Yoko Ono, as they both bask in the bliss of being in love and having no cares in the world on songs like Borrowed Time and Nobody Told Me. There were even enough songs left over to complete some tracks for the Beatles Anthology over a decade later like Real Love. Even though this next decade was a bit different for John, the Intellectual Beatle sounded like he was ready to roll with the times.
