The 30 Best John Lennon Songs– Send In Your Choices
Thirty years? It’s gone by in a blink. Here are my 30 favorite John Lennon songs–for today. The list always changes. The songs are actually all equal. I was 23 the year John Lennon was killed.

15. Jealous Guy
16. Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
17. Watching the Wheels
18. Strawberry Fields Forever

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.
r u guys crazy..what happened to “Ticket to Ride”..thats the best song ever and Baby u’re a rich man too…
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
Imagine is way overrated. Move up In my Life
Beautiful Boy didnt make the list?
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.
Where the hell is God ?
