Rock 'n' Roll

by John Lennon

The 1425th greatest album of all time

Rock 'n' Roll is John Lennon's 1975 album of cover versions of 1950s rock and roll and early rhythm and blues songs. Largely recorded in 1973 with producer Phil Spector and completed before its 1975 release, the record finds Lennon revisiting formative influences with loose, often raw arrangements that favor straightforward rock and roll energy over studio experimentation. The album functions as a personal tribute to the early pop and R and B classics that shaped his musical identity.
