LENNONesque: All-Star Homage Playlists To John Lennon's BEATLES And SOLO Styles!

To honor JOHN LENNON's unending impact on music, here are 2 Music Players of famous artists imitating him. One playlist tributes his many his BEATLES styles and the other homages his SOLO styles.

T H E
B E A T L E S :
Lennonesque Tribute

Here are 200 artists from every era and genre, lovingly imitating John's styles with THE BEATLES. The songs are arranged in "sonic order", meaning each of John's Beatles styles in order sonically from 1962 to 1970; the early MerseyBeat, the Folk Pop, the Psychedelia and Baroque Pop, and finally the fuzzy Rawk and piano Anthem sounds.

There are favored guests and many surprises along the way.

You would expect THE RUTLES, BADFINGER, CHEAP TRICK, OASIS, LENNY KRAVITZ, and ELLIOTT SMITH.

But how about PIXIES, HUSKER DU, NIRVANA, YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA, THE DAMNED, CIBO MATTO, and LUSH?

Because THE BEATLES' sounds and fashions were so fluid, they are a nexus point for every possible angle of Rock music. Without boundaries and only possibilities, they have influenced every kind of band in their wake. This takes us to the current wave of youth who wear Beatles T-shirts and listen to acolytes like RADIOHEAD, FIONA APPLE, LOCKSLEY, KAISER CHIEFS, NIC ARMSTRONG, FRANZ FERDINAND, SAM PHILLIPS, GURUS, BECK, and BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB, all here.

Welcome to an alternate universe of BEATLES music you've never heard!

Tribute

Here are 200 artists from every era and genre, lovingly imitating John Lennon's solo styles. The songs are arranged in "sonic order', meaning each of John's styles and albums in order from 1970 to 1980; the primal Grunge Blues, the elegaic Piano hymns, some of his avant Collage, the stark Confessionals, the political Anthems, the Retrobilly, and finally the mature Pop comeback.

Again there are favored guests and many surprises along the way.

John's influence has no boundaries. His raw honesty, expressed though grungy blues, church piano, folk strumming, ethereal harmonies and abrasive noize, speaks to everyone.

Here are acolytes from every era and angle:

From the '70s and BIG STAR, THE MOVE, ELO, CHEAP TRICK, DAVID BOWIE, NILSSON, and OZZY OSBOURNE.
To the '80s and JOHNNY THUNDERS, ELVIS COSTELLO, GENERATION X, THE PRETENDERS, KEITH LEVENE, TACKHEAD, JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, and LOVE AND ROCKETS.
To the '90s and SOUNDGARDEN, NIRVANA, PEARL JAM, PJ HARVEY, TRACY BONHAM, LENNY KRAVITZ, WEEN, NEGATIVLAND, FASTBALL, and THE BREEDERS.
To now with COLDPLAY, JET, EARLIMART, DEVANDRA BANHART, GREEN DAY, MICHAEL FRANTI, SUPER FURRY ANIMALS, and LADY GAGA.

At the end are songs about John by his family, friends, and fans.

Welcome to an alternate universe of LENNON music you've never heard!

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp, you'll remember how wonderful life is and how lucky we are. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

ROCK Sex: "Radio Head" - Talking Heads > Tito Lariva > Radiohead

Thom Yorke and David Byrne

"Transmitter, picking up something good/ Hey, Radio Head/ The sound of a brand new world!"
-Talking Heads

ROCK Sex transmits another example of how everyone relays a wavelength.

_______________

David Byrne co-wrote and starred in an indie film called TRUE STORIES in 1986. Naturally TALKING HEADS made a soundtrack record, including this song:

TALKING HEADS -"Radio Head" (1986)

The trick was that, in the film, the songs were sung by the actors. "Radio Head" was sung by Tito Lariva, backed up by famed accordianist Esteban "Steve" Jordan and his band.

Tito Lariva had been a pioneer in the Los Angeles Punk scene with his band The Plugz. They're most famous for their cover of "Secret Agent Man" as "Hombre Secreto", and for their Morricone-esque work on the REPO MAN (1984) soundtrack, such as the closer song "Reel Ten". He then fronted The Cruzados with their hit "Motorcycle Girl". And he's been a staple in Robert Rodriguez films as TITO + TARANTULA from the El Mariachi trilogy to the theme for "MACHETE".

TITO LARIVA -"Radio Head" (1986)

An English band named ON A FRIDAY was signed in the early-'90s, but then changed their name to Radiohead based on this song. Here's Thom Yorke signaling his feelings.

RADIOHEAD -"Creep" (1992)

"Baby, you're mind is a radio
Got a reciever inside my head
Baby, I'm tuned to your wavelength
Let me tell you what it says...

The sound of a brand new world"
