Yes, you are....and while I like a great deal of the solo post-Beatles stuff (hell, I even like Wings' Wildlife), I will defend "John Lennon/ Plastic Ono Band" (1970) as the top of the heap. All Things Must Pass is chock-full of great tunes that were welling up in George all that time he was doing the 103rd take of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, etc. btw there is a bootleg called "Beware of Abkco" that has the complete solo demos that ATMP hints at. Snag if you can. RR
