John Lennon was born in 70 years ago today on October 5th of 1940.


His birthday to celebrate through the purchase of the new Lennon Signature Box that remastered versions of all his solo work includes together with a slice of previously unreleased recordings and/or the Beatles stereo box set featuring remastered versions of all of the Beatles albums (and singles).

35. You've got to hide your love away "48 K"


"I think this list really quite surprising.""Because" against the "in my life" and "Imagine"? I find it interesting how high "help!" is so many more listeners as "Strawberry Fields Forever," "I am the walrus," and "A Day in the Life" (which are much more interesting songs in my opinion.)


And "Revolution" at only # 30? maybe is that because of a split between "Revolution" 1 "from the white album?"and gives a further 34 K single versionEs-listener for "Revolution."


I also think, it is surprising that his second most listened, solo song "Woman."It has twice as many listeners as "Instant Karma."


Perhaps more impressive than the 35 songs on this list are all great songs Lennon wrote that on this Liste.Thinking about, that gives one an idea of as many excellent songs he wrote.


Here are some of those who do not make the list: "Instant Karma," "She Said She Said," "Don don't let me down," "if I fell," "Working Class Hero", "Hey Bulldog" "watching the wheels", "Beautiful Boy", "Being for the benefit of Mr. kite," "The Ballad of John and Yoko" & "Jealous Guy."
