I never really got into his solo stuff. Now that I'm older, I might enjoy it. But I'd have to say I like Instant Karma the best of what I know.

"Imagine", a classic, of course. But I have to admit, i'd rather listen to Wings than John Lennon's solo stuff anyday...

I don't really know much of Lennon's solo work, but my favorite song has to be Mind Games.

I know this topic is rather old...I can't believe I never replied to it.
most definately I'm a fan of John Lennon's solo stuff. Wings to put it gently were...um...rubbish. "Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine" two classic albums...definantely among the top ten albums of all time...although his last few solo albums were patchy. |

The entire "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine" albums are my two desert island albums. I can listen to both of those albums all the way through and never get tired of them.
The remixes that came out in 2000 are superb. Also: Give Peace A Chance Cold Turkey Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) Do The Oz Power To The People Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Woman Is The ****** Of The World New York City John Sinclair Well (Baby Please Don't Go) Mind Games Aisumasen (I'm Sorry) One Day At A Time Bring On The Lucie (Freda People) Intuition Whatever Gets You Thru The Night (with Elton John) Scared #9 Dream Steel And Glass Be-Bop-A-Lula Stand By Me Rip It Up/Ready Teddy Ya Ya Just Because And everything he recorded during the "Double Fantasy"/"Milk And Honey" sessions. He was back in top form in 1980, after taking five years off to focus on raising Sean. John's 1980 album, "Double Fantasy," and his posthumous 1984 album "Milk And Honey" were both collaborations with Yoko Ono. I know there is an audience for Yoko's music, but I'm not a part of it. She's a good person, but not a good musician. Anyway, I made a CD using all of John's tracks from the 2000 remaster of "Double Fantasy" and the 2001 remaster of "Milk And Honey," mixed in with tracks from "The John Lennon Anthology" recorded during the 1980 "Double Fantasy"/"Milk And Honey" sessions. And not to toot my own horn, it's a pretty damn good album. Capitol/Parlophone/EMI would have a goldmine on their hands if they released something like this. I have it in my own collection, and I've burned numerous copies for friends, family, and co-workers who have all given me very positive reviews. I call it, simply, "John Lennon." Here's the tracklisting: 1. (JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 2. "LITTLE HELP" From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 3. CLEANUP TIME From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 4. I'M LOSING YOU From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 5. SERVE YOURSELF From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 6. BEAUTIFUL BOY (DARLING BOY) From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 7. WATCHING THE WHEELS From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 8. WOMAN From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 9. DEAR YOKO From the 1980 Geffen Records album Double Fantasy 10. I'M STEPPING OUT From the 1984 Polydor Records album Milk And Honey 11. "LOUD" From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 12. I DON'T WANNA FACE IT From the 1984 Polydor Records album Milk And Honey 13. HELP ME TO HELP MYSELF From the 2000 Capitol Records reissue of Double Fantasy 14. (FORGIVE ME) MY LITTLE FLOWER PRINCESS From the 1984 Polydor Records album Milk And Honey 15. I'M LOSING YOU (with Cheap Trick) From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 16. EVERY MAN HAS A WOMAN WHO LOVES HIM From the 1984 Polydor Records single Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him/It's Alright 17. "IN THE SKY" From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 18. WATCHING THE WHEELS (demo) From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 19. NOBODY TOLD ME From the 1984 Polydor Records album Milk And Honey 20. "CENTRAL PARK STROLL" From the 2000 Capitol Records reissue of Double Fantasy 21. GROW OLD WITH ME From the 1998 Capitol Records release The John Lennon Anthology 22. BORROWED TIME From the 1984 Polydor Records album Milk And Honey |

Okay.............. These 2 songs remind me of John after he passed away. Whenever I hear them I get emotional
1) (Just Like) Starting over (I feel so sad because it reminds me of him after he passed....... They use to play this song on the radio all the time). 2) Woman............ (Please let me explain. I never meant to cause you sorrow and pain).........
