10 Worst Music Collaborations Of All Time
6. John Lennon/Yoko Ono
I'm going to go out on a limb here and state the obvious: YOKO ONO DID NOT BREAK UP THE BEATLES. In spite of everything that has been said about the Fab Four's breakup over the years, there's always been a lot of misdirected anger and more than a little bit of misogyny in how much people are willing to single this woman out for luring John Lennon away from rock and roll. No one can blame John for following his muse...you can blame him for the awful music they made though.
Released concurrently when the Beatles were putting out their late era masterpieces, Two Virgins is the result of Lennon and Ono messing around with a tape recorder while at home, where they made some of the most unlistenable avant garde music in history. For those of you caught off guard by something like Revolution 9 off of the White Album, there's no way to prepare you for this, with "songs" that feature Ono and Lennon making weird moaning noises and screeching until you want bang your head against a wall.
To put the final layer of craziness on this sh*t sandwich, the album cover was made with the intent to show these artists' true selves, with Lennon and Ono posing completely nude. Though there's a case to be made for the Beatles having a spotless legacy, the same cannot be said for their solo careers based on the existence of this album alone.
