| | John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While he was still a Beatle, Lennon and Ono recorded three albums of experimental and difficult music, Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins, Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions, and Wedding Album. | | | John Winston Ono Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was best known as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the English music group The Beatles. | | | After both Lennon and Ono were injured in the summer of 1969 in a car accident in Scotland, Lennon arranged for Ono to be constantly with him in the studio (including having a full-sized bed rolled in) as he worked on The Beatles' last album, Abbey Road. |

| | Guardian Lennon and McCartney? Let it be |
| | Paul McCartney has ended a feud over the Beatles' songwriting credits, saying he is happy to play second fiddle to John Lennon to maintain the band's "rock'n'roll trademark". | | | Lennon and McCartney is still the rock 'n' roll trademark I'm proud to be a part of - in the order it has always been," he said. | | | Yoko Ono refused, and subsequently all 20 Beatles songs appearing on McCartney's latest live album, Back in the US, were reversed to McCartney-Lennon. |

| | Amazon.com: Imagine: Music: John Lennon |
| | The enduring legacy of John Lennon's best album has overshadowed a glaring historical irony: the Beatles' original architect was also responsible for some of the Fab Four's most erratic solo albums. | | | Although it was stunning display of lyrical sophistication and bare-boned emotional outpouring, the album would hardly be the typical John Lennon album, with its sheer bleakness and seething antipathy. | | | Lennon was writing structured songs and producing something cohesive, a sign that he would not forever be a rugged, tripped-out specter. |

| | Lennon stills sings to us |
| | But she later recorded Lennon's utopian vision of a peaceful world, "Imagine," which has matured into an anthem and, 25 years from now, will likely be Lennon's best-remembered song. | | | McCartney has spent years seemingly saying, "Hey, I was cool, too." Light was struck by how McCartney opens his current concert tour with a video reminding fans of his Beatles exploits, when the music can speak for itself. | | | Lennon's music has even touched artists who weren't alive when he was, like 21-year-old singer Patrick Stump of the hit pop-punk band Fall Out Boy. |

| | But they are a revelation: the sound of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr as ambitious, arguing, fatally human musicians, the four behind the myth. | | | The first thing McCartney played on the morning of January 3rd, while waiting for Harrison and Lennon to show up for work, was a solo piano stab at "Adagio for Strings," a 1938 piece by the American composer Samuel Barber. | | | But McCartney did not record the song until he was no longer a Beatle, on his 1971 album Ram. |

| | I also think Harrison wrote the best of the Beatles songs, Lennon and McCartney were of equal talent in my opinion. | | | Their worst work appeared after the partnership foundered, and as McCartney produced marginally more rubbish during this period than Lennon, I'd have to say that Lennon, as a stand-alone talent, was the better of the two. | | | The songwriting duo he and John Lennon were, and the band that the Beatles were, can never be changed. |

| | McCartney, after 40 years of second billing to his late partner John Lennon, has turned the tables on his Beatles collaborator by reversing the order of the famous Lennon-McCartney songwriting credit. | | | The back-and-forth continues a nasty feud between McCartney and Lennon's widow, Ono, who in the past accused the Beatles bassist of "opening a Pandora's Box" by changing the credits. | | | No one disputes that McCartney wrote "Yesterday" by himself or that he was the only Beatle in the studio for its recording. |

| | After The Beatles ultimately broke up, we had to accept the fact that Lennon and McCartney would start releasing their own albums. | | | Through the 1970s, one can say Lennon and McCartney were in constant competition with one another and went on to make music that was quite different than what they had done during the Beatles era. | | | Whether Lennon’s Walls and Bridges is better than McCartney’s Venus and Mars is a matter of taste – both have their fans, and both are considered let-downs by others. |

| | The Lennon and McCartney partnership is one of the most popular song writing teams in the history of popular music, although, for the most part, the great majority of songs they wrote individually. | | | The two agreed that all income generated by any of the songs under the Lennon and McCartney banner would be shared equally between them. | | | Generally, John's songs were lyric led while Paul's were noted for melody, although John was to disagree with this generally held opinion later on. |
