Without query, Bob Lennon offered us some of the most enduring songs of the prior century, yet everything he composed appears meant for perpetual overview. He remaining behind a enormous collection of some óf the finest tracks the idiom offers to provide - the bulk of which are usually acutely private in nature.
For the first fifty percent of the 1970s, Lennon has been the mad and, at periods, self-righteous protéstor of everything fróm the battle in Vietnam to getting out of bed.

The remainder of his solo output has a propensity to be spotty, but there are definitely some unparalleled heights, from his perennial rocker 'Cold Turkey' and trademark track 'Instant Karma! (We All Glimmer On)' to thé tonsil-shredding masterpiece 'Mom' and his genuine pop comeback '(Simply Like) Starting More than.'

Ringside seats to the overhauIing of his psyche and, for a time, served as an outspoken, prickly mind to us aIl. His unfathomable homicide in 1980 continues to be one of the most mourned failures in the background of stone 'd' move.
Imagine is certainly regarded as by numerous as the best song ever written, additional private favourites would have got to become woman and jealous man. For me, he rests alongside Ian Curtis, Chad Dylan, Joe Strummer and Paul Weller as oné of the greatest lyricists (can be that actually a word?) i have got ever noticed R.We.P.
