John LennonLennon, John4d5447d7-c61c-4120-ba1b-d7f471d385b91940-10-091980-12-08John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English rock musician, singer-songwriter, author, and peace activist who gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after McCartney. Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and biting wit in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and visual artist. After The Beatles, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career with such acclaimed albums as John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After a self-imposed "retirement" to raise his son Sean, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. The album would go on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 2002, respondents to a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted Lennon eighth. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Lennon number 38 on its list of "The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time" (The Beatles being number one). He was also ranked fifth greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone in 2008. He was posthumously inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon2712009-11-25T15:54:14ZRemember2006The U.S. vs. John Lennon2006Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon2005Acoustic2004Instant Karma: All Time Greatest Hits2001Plastic Ono Band2000Anthology1998Wonsaponatime1998Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon1997Instant Karma!1992Lennon1990The John Lennon Collection1989Imagine / Jealous Guy1988Imagine: John Lennon1988Live in New York City1986Menlove Ave.1986Nobody Told Me1984Borrowed Time1984I'm Stepping Out1984Borrowed Time1984Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him1984Woman1981Watching the Wheels1981Rock 'n' Roll1975Stand by Me1975Whatever Gets You Through the Night1974Walls and Bridges1974No. 9 Dream1974Mind Games1973Mind Games1973Woman Is the Nigger of the World1972Power to the People1971Imagine1971Imagine1971Mother1970John Lennon/Plastic Ono BandPeace, Love & TruthBestLegend: The Very Best of John LennonInstant KarmaGreatest HitsMake Some Noise: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur2007Various Artists89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377Pussy Cats1974Nilssonbaaa5f20-cbda-4f14-88bc-ecdb5097b6e6Please Please Me1963The Beatlesb10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600dMake Some Noise: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur2007Various Artists89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377Beatles Classic Hits1994John Lennon & Paul McCartneyaf619307-d328-4949-9afb-40c9b58421d6Sgt.
