  1. OMG, this list ROCKS. This man remains my favorite songwriter ever- only “Julia” would be number 1 on my list and “Mother,” “I Feel Fine,” “Woman Is The ****** Of The World,” and “Beautiful Boy” would be on that list for sure. Oh and “Because!!!”

    The man was just a genius.

  3. Not going to try to come up with 30. I think my favorite John songs are
    I’m Only Sleeping (the story of my life!)
    Tomorrow Never Knows
    I’m a Loser
    It’s Only Love

  5. We definitely have to include the beautiful “How” and “Gimme Some Truth.”

    I was -2 (born in 1982), but I started listening to his music in my teens and never looked back. I suggest that everyone buys the Gimme Some Truth documentary on DVD that shows how he came up with the Imagine album.

    Great insight not only into the album, but into his personal life. He was definitely a very complex, often angry, borderline bitchy, yet silly, guy (love the scene when he records the vocals to “Oh Yoko” with Phil Spector and he gets really upset with the sound engineer.
