Me: Zebras are black and white
Isaac: Nuh-uh, black and white aren't the same color.
Me:

Excuse me for saying this, but did you happen to digest alcohol and prescription drugs at the same time?

That's our Isaac

What's that you say? You want me to play that sound on loop when I put a few upside your cranium with an aluminum baseball bat?

THAT'S OUR ISAAC!

Um... let's stop taunting the psychopath now... kay?

[Petey Wheatstraw]

Yoko Ono produced art albums that ended up influencing artists and genres.

You're living in a fantasy. You make Yoko Ono sound like The Velvet Underground. The difference is, the list of artists who cite V.U. as an influence actually exists.

Hmm, explains why so many people agreed to perform her songs for that tribute album.

It's possible they were just afraid that if they didn't participate, she'd break up their respective bands.

Yoko didn't break up the Beatles. The band got to a point where they were artistically incompatible. This would have happened whether or not Lennon had even met her. It's ridiculous that a single person has become synonymous with the breaking up of bands. There's about a zillion cases in which the girlfriend or wife of a band's leader has been accused of being "Yoko Ono" whenever the band breaks up.

Has it really come to this? Threatening to beat someone with a baseball bat over Yoko Ono? I also looked up info on her tribute album because... well, who the hell would want to do that? It turns out the only person who wanted to make a Yoko Ono tribute album was Yoko Ono (http://www.aversion.com/news/news_article.cfm?news_id=7674). And she hired the bands performing on it, so it isn't so much a tribute as hiring bands to do covers. I also looked at the list and there are 2 bands I like in there, Peaches and The Flaming Lips. Don't see any punk bands there though, which is surprising as she is apparently more of an influence on punk than The Kingsmen, The Kinks, The MC5, The Who, The Small Faces,The Stooges, The New York Dolls, even those a lot of these bands had albums out well before Yoko's first (in 1968). And they have all been named directly by seminal punk bands (e.g. The Sex Pistols, The Ramones) as being influences. I tried googling Johnny Rotten (even John Lyndon) + Yoko Ono and got nothing. Not saying you're wrong.. just want some facts to back up those assertions.

You won't get facts from Isaac. He'll just disappear for two weeks and then suddenly post in a thread and put "FUCK YOU" in size 70 font.

This is my favourite bit from the wiki article on that album:

According to the press release, nearly every artist chose only the vocals, and created entirely new backing tracks to demonstrate the versatility of Ono's compositions.

Uh huh that was definitely the reason

EDIT: Even better, the press release:

Millions are familiar with the name Yoko Ono. For some it conjures long held preconceptions, for others, the injustice of misinformation made fact. "Controversial". "Manipulator". "A witch". But far too few associate Ono with the forward looking music she's made throughout her career.

Despite this, her music has been heralded, embraced by, and inspirational to an entire new generation of musicians - themselves currently challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of sounds and ideas.

Hence the new Astralwerks release, Yes, I'm A Witch, a totally different kind of collaboration with some of today's most exciting musicians.

Each artist was given her catalog to listen to, and upon selecting a cut, was provided with the vocals and whatever other instrumental elements attracted them from that cut. Almost all the artists chose just the vocals. They then produced entirely new musical tracks that make it clear just how ahead of her time her compositions and performances were, and how they remain so.

The result is a freewheeling and inspired set of songs - all held together and defined by the voice and sensibilities of a person few have given themselves the opportunity to listen to without bias.

The set includes contributions from The Flaming Lips, Cat Power, Antony of Antony and the Johnsons, The Apples in Stereo, The Sleepy Jackson and many more. From the melancholic duet of Ono & Cat Power, evoking the most luscious new version of "Revelations" ever heard - to the droned out psycho version of Jason Pierce of Spiritualized's "Walking on Thin Ice", these bands have crafted their own take on the original queen of punk. While Peaches and Le Tigre deliver their high octane yet simpatico versions of "Kiss Kiss Kiss" and "Sisters O Sisters", Antony takes it down a notch with his own melodramatic version of "Toy Boat." Throughout the set, the passion and kinship between these artists and Ono shines through.

Wayne Coyne, The Flaming Lips leader, on his collaboration: To be able to play with a track as uncompromising and confrontational as John and Yoko's "Cambridge 1969" is ,for any curious artist, a rare treat. We took Yoko's primal screams and John's moaning feedback and turned them into a kind of Ornette Colemanesque melody...I fear we may have de-fanged rocks' most disturbing performance/art/jam... thanks - Wayne...2006

Interesting, a reading of the press release shows us that this must be where Isaac gets his opinion of the screeching harpy's influence on Punk.

As long as he doesn't threaten to hit me with physical violence...

[Petey Wheatstraw]

Has it really come to this? Threatening to beat someone with a baseball bat over Yoko Ono?

Uh, no, that was in response to repeatedly acting like a moron by treating me like a wacky sitcom character and posting the same clip over and over again.

I also looked up info on her tribute album because... well, who the hell would want to do that? It turns out the only person who wanted to make a Yoko Ono tribute album was Yoko Ono (http://www.aversion.com/news/news_article.cfm?news_id=7674).

Funny, because the one I was referring to was put together by John Lennon before his death. Although, you could run things out of context like you just did, yeah.

And she hired the bands performing on it, so it isn't so much a tribute as hiring bands to do covers. I also looked at the list and there are 2 bands I like in there, Peaches and The Flaming Lips. Don't see any punk bands there though, which is surprising as she is apparently more of an influence on punk than The Kingsmen, The Kinks, The MC5, The Who, The Small Faces,The Stooges, The New York Dolls, even those a lot of these bands had albums out well before Yoko's first (in 1968).

Well, that album you are referring to is not a tribute album, but a remix album that was put together as the result of her success/popularity within the house/electronic music scene. But thank you for failing to make a point. It helps my case.

It's not as if anyone would agree to participate in a tribute album if they didn't want to.

And the problem is? If the people who contributed to the remix album only decided to use the instrumental tracks and not her vocals, that would be look bad. You've failed severely.

(By the way, nice user-name. Choose three random words and expect them to fit together. I did that when writing my superhero epic, Buckaroo Cheese Ranger.)

Actually, I was thinking more the lines of Public Image Ltd or Patti Smith, but you can go ahead and keep looking like you have no idea what you're talking about. It really helps my case.

Ooh the brilliant rebuttal

Re: You're the only butt of any joke
Try talking trash when you have any idea what you're talking about.

It's Yoko Ono dude, she ain't worth it. She's a thoroughly unpleasant individual. I know this because one of my best friends was Sean's nanny. Yoko sucks in oh so many ways, let alone her horrendous music.
