Man the number of people who shit on Yoko while adoring Laurie Anderson really do not understand performance art. It's not necessarily meant to be "normally" musical. That's not the intention.
But whatever; people have their own tastes and that's 100% cool. I don't actually enjoy a lot of her stuff either, even if I can appreciate what she was trying to do.
Moreover, if you are fan of John's consider this: when he met Yoko he was a full on misogynist big time with blatantly capitalist aspirations. She turned that all around, stuck with him through his "lost weekend" and two rounds of herion addiction. Yes, this is not about her as an artist, but if we consider her as a person she was/is important.
This has clearly never heard/seen her sing.
