I was in the newsagents today and I found the latest uncut with a top 30 of Lennons songs. I was rather surprised (sometimes pleasantly) at the final results. For example Imagine only managed number 12. However Strawberry Fields (my favourite) made number 1 so I am happy. Here are the results. 30. Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) 29. Whatever Gets You Thru' The Night 28. This Boy 27. Mother 26. I'm So Tired 25. God 24. #9 Dream 23. Gimme Some Truth 22. Jealous Guy 21. Help! 20. She Said She Said 19. Dear Prudence 18. How Do You Sleep? 17. The Ballad of John and Yoko 16 .Working Class Hero 15. Happy Xmas (War is Over) 14. A Hard Days Night 13. Power To The People 12. Imagine 11. Across The Universe 10. I Am The Walrus 9. Cold Turkey 8. Revolution 7. Give Peace a Chance 6. In My Life 5. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away 4. All You Need is Love 3. Instant Karma 2. Yer Blues 1. Strawberry Fields Forever www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/archive/index.php/t-133289.html |

I agree with Strawberry Fields Forever being number 1, but I can't understand how Yer Blues is at number 2. It's a good song but surely not his second best? I've never seen it get so high up one of these lists before.

I guess it depends on your head, I love Yer Blues but like you would not rank it so highly as second. I am always amazed by the fact that Power to the people always gets into these polls, I think it is one of Lennons worst songs, Sorry all you "power" fans.  |

There's so many john songs that I absolutely love, so I'm not sure I could narrow it down like that. I think it's pretty good however, all great songs in my opinion ^_^

Strawberry Fields Forever is most likely my favourite Beatles song. It is the first Beatles song I remember hearing, it is a really good song. It had a profound effect on me. I hadn't heard anything like it before.

I think it's pretty good however, all great songs in my opinion ^_^ same feeling here, my favorite song changes with my daily mood, but I do think one of his best vocals are in #9 dream and Imagine.. Oh and I defenetly love The Ballad of John and Yoko ;D |

I hadn't heard anything like it before. Me too, I heard it for the first time over thirty years ago and it stays with me evry day. Lennon has had a profound affect on my life through just one song |

I'm suprised: I thought '9# Dream' and 'Help!' would have a higher score. Apart from that, I don't think it's a 'bad' list.
