Dec 8. 1980.

I'll go ahead and put it now, since K already brought it up.

John Lennon.





GO!



Hard for me to even think about picking a favorite.

Woman

Beautiful Boy

Just Like Starting Over

Imagine

Instant Karma

Oh My Love

Love is Real

Watching The Wheels.

List goes on. Should be a much longer list. Such a bummer.
 
:facepalm:

By the way Jake. You need to wake up a bit. This is about Michael Schenker.

"Around this time, Michael was occupied with copying the Shadows and the Beatles. Michael formed his first band called THE ENERVATES with three of his schoolmates to perform on a school party. However, only in about three months, the band was forced to break up. This band was formed to play the Beatle songs, and Michael played a role of John Lennon. This was the first time and, at the same time, the last time Michael was a vocalist in the band."

Out of his solo work:

Only Christmas song I like and I think it's one of the loveliest songs I've ever heard.

And even though Paul got a little bit on this one, it's till my favourite song of all time and is so uniquely John...

I fucking hate Dec. 8th. :(
 
I don't think I can remember what any of those songs sound like:embarrassed:

I respect his talent and I will say RIP to him, but his music is not my thing:embarrassed:

That's interesting, but I still don't care for Beatles.

Like Revan said though, I deeply respect him and will say RIP.
 
Watching the Wheels
#9 Dream
Mind Games
Jealous Guy
Mother
Working Class Hero
I Found Out
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Ticket to Ride

etc.

I wonder how many of these songs Jake S. would recognize if he heard them.
 
Like many others, it is hard to pick a favorite, but Working Class Hero and Instant Karma are high on the list. I am a big fan. I still remember that day, one of the most shocking days of my life.
 
Wow. So many to choose really..from his solo stuff, probably "Instant Karma" and "Jealous Guy"..from The Beatles:

Happiness is a Warm Gun.
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my Monkey.
Come Together
Strawberry Fields Forever
I'm only Sleeping
I Feel Fine.....the perfect 60's pop song imo
Ticket to Ride
Across the Universe

I'll stop now. :embarrassed:

Edit: I have to include his vocal performance on "Twist and Shout"...that's what got me into music..still gives me chills...it's so raw and elemental...if that's the right word :embarrassed:
 
I'll limit mine to his solos stuff only since his Beatles stuff needs a separate listing. And I'm really not a big fan of Lennon's solo stuff, but did like some of it a lot.

Instant Karma
Woman
Watching The Wheels
 
While I am a huge Beatles fan, I'm not a big Lennon solo fan. That being said, however, I'll go with "#9 Dream" as my favorite Lennon solo song.
 
Jealous Guy was the first one that popped into my head.

After reading these posts I am reminded of so many more:

Watching The Wheels
Twist and Shout
I'm Only Sleeping
Ballad of John and Yoko

Never was a Beatles fan growing up. It has only been in the last year that I have been curious. Two months ago I listened to Sgt, Pepper's in its entirety, from start to finish, for the first time. Now I get what the fuss was about. Wow.

Whatever Gets You Through The Night and also Mother are my two favorites. Those are the ones I play the most I guess.
