Plastic Ono Band

This week, The McGuigan Brothers dive deep into John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The groundbreaking 1970 album that launched Lennon’s solo career after the Beatles breakup. Featuring raw vocals, primal scream therapy, and stripped-down performances from Lennon, Ringo Starr, and Klaus Voormann, this record is one of the most influential and emotional releases in rock history.

Billy, Matthew, and Ryan break down each track, explore the album’s meaning, dig into Lennon’s personal transformation, and explain why Plastic Ono Band remains essential listening for Beatles fans and anyone exploring Lennon’s solo work.

This is the most honest John Lennon ever put on tape — and the Brothers take you through every scream, every confession, and every moment that changed rock music forever.
