The only thing this lady has with music, is it was the wife of the great John Lennon.

As a massive Beatles and Lennon fan, I actually have very warm personal feelings toward Yoko. She was John's chosen mate, and was IMHO exactly the person he needed as his partner in the last decade or so in his all too short life. However..... she does have a fairly limited melodic bag of tricks - most songs have the same kind of la, la, la, la, laaaaaa melody. And her wispy vocals and off beat lyrics only work for a few tunes - for example Walking on Thin Ice. Not a big PT or SW fan - my wife is - so this piece adds up to a 5 or 6 for me. |

I applaud the RP DJ's for taking the risk.... really! Yoko was John's love... how can anyone _hate that? Thanks RP.... keep it coming and trust us!

If it weren't for Porcupine Tree this song would be truly truly awful.

No matter what Lennon saw in her, she continues to demonstrate no talent other than being able to snag a Beatle.  |

RP, we know how much you love Porcupine Tree, but does that really excuse playing the horrific Y.O. solely due to PT's feature on the song? yuck!!

This is not Porcupine Tree, it's just Steven Wilson according to this information posted on PT's website. Doesn't matter.I'm boycotting them all. |

Keep playing this so we can keep on reading such entertaining comments. I have no comment on this song... it speaks for itself.

Is Yoko Ono trying to channel Porcupine Tree or the other way around? Haunting. Would John approve?

I was just thinking that the instrumentation sounded like classic Porcupine Tree, and then a noticed that it is SW after all. The song is not too bad. I wonder if most people hate this song just because it's Yoko Ono (I'm not a big fan of her either).  |

Thanks for playing it, Bill. While I don't agree with how Yoko has administered John's estate/legacy, I have liked a lot of her music. I thought her songs on Double Fantasy were great. They were energetic and fun. I love John's songs on that album, but I like Yoko's more. Bobby in Motown

Ever since I heard Yoko's album Fly I dropped the cheap shots about her.

I've never seen such a low rate for a song playing on RP. I'm sure it is only because of the name Yoko attached to it.
Give it a try and listen. It ain't that bad. I give a 7 on that one (for the moment).  |

Mine is only partially Yokohating. It's mostly because the song sounds awful to me. |

His greatest challenge to authority. He laughs from the grave.
Another reason for me not to like Porcupine Tree... |
