There's some great stuff on Fly for sure, but the title track which is Yoko making baby noises a capella for 22 minutes is too much for me.
I like Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band a lot more, it's not as broad or ambitious but it's much more consistent and dosen't overstay it's welcome, the backing band of John/Klaus/Ringo is really tight throughout and it's really interesting to hear John and Ringo get more loose and experimental with their playing than they ever did on their own records, and Yoko brings just the right amount of energy and intensity while having enough restraint to not sound like she's having a medical emergency. Anyone who likes Damo Sazuki era Can ought to dig it, f*ck the haters.
