Poll question: Favorite recording by JOHN LENNON? |
|
To celebrate what would've been John's 63rd birthday, and to try and take our minds off the Golden State debacle, here's a little music poll for ya!

Because of the limited number of choices in these polls, I have to pick and choose when deciding what songs to include (and leave out). That's why I always try to give folks the "other" option.

6. Suggest a Lennon compilation please? |
|
I have an LP version of Shaved Fish that unfortunately is missing most of these tunes.
Anyone have any other recommendations? I'd love to see a set of all his post-Beatles material.

"Rock and Roll" - no Beatles or Lennon songs but it's obviously where his heart really lay if you ask me. And can I just say, at the risk of being shouted down, that I really don't like "Imagine" - a few minutes of self-congratulatory and smug platitudes from a very very rich man. Unfair?

Another great Lennon comp. He had a great album titled "Rock and Roll" or something close to that. He did a bunch of old covers. It was fantastic.

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight-short sighted - narrow minded hypocrytics,
All I want is the truth, Just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things by neurotic - psychotic-pig headed politicians,
All I want is the truth, Just gimme some truth,
No short haired - yellow bellied son of tricky dicky, Is gonna mother hubbard, Soft soap me, With just a pocketful of hope, Money for dope, Money for rope,
I'm sick to death of seeing things from tight liped - condecending - mommies little chauvanists,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth,
I've had enough watching scenes of schizophrenic - ego - centric - paranoic - prima - donnas,
All I want is the truth, Just gimme some truth.

I've got the original recording of Me & My Monkey which is a couple tracks of John with an acoustic guitar. AWESOME! Lennon was on it!
and I love how someone described how Lennon would throw in extra measures and beats into his song phrasing, making complex songs - he did it somewhat unconsciously - he just felt it out.

23. Imagine what a beautiful song |
|
Imagine has to be one of the greatest songs ever. Since his death, I've often thought how he might of responded to some of the events taking place in the world. I can only imagine that he would have written an appropriate song for what's going on today.
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one

31. Beautiful Boy...Double Fantasy |

Honestly, this is like picking your favorite Christmas present...damn I miss John these days.
Every time this song comes on I see my son (the video of John and Sean in the Imagine video)...plus great backing instrumental track.

44. My favorite. Here's the Lyrics |
|
As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they're telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Love by John Lennon
Love is real, real is love Love is feeling, feeling love Love is wanting to be loved
Love is touch, touch is love Love is reaching, reaching love Love is asking to be loved
Love is you You and me Love is knowing We can be
Love is free, free is love Love is living, living love Love is needing to be loved
Love - JOHN LENNON - PLASTIC ONO BAND (1970)
