Imagine is amazingly shallow. However, Lennon deserves some credit for having a good taste in recording technique, and ability to create a certain thickness in the ambiance in the way he recorded things. Something that I think influenced music immensely later on.

Albeit, he is overrated, I wouldn't say 'crap'.

Al Pacino = God

Not good enough. Famous idealistic nonsense means jackshit.
Don't bother taking the bar exam in any US state.

what you think of as throat and chest is actually diaphragm singing.

and talking about nasal sound, best example would be toni braxton.
this supposed "headtone" is singing nasally like most falsettos are.

Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness is the best double album ever released.

"Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth gets that award, was a double LP..

as was..

"London Calling" by The Clash
"Double Nickels on the Dime" by The Minutemen
"Freak Out!" by The Mothers of Invention.
"Blonde on Blonde" by Bob Dylan
"The Beatle" [The White Album] by The Beatles

MC&tIS was alright, not my favorite album by the Pumpkins (that still goes to "Siamese Dream"). It would still be in my top 5, but it doesn't hold a candle to "Daydream Nation".
