John Lennon was amazing.
I know it's hardly a revelation but I just wanted to throw my comment onto the pile.
Watching the wheels is classic Lennon and his haunting lyrics and the way he used his voice like an instrument make me almost sad to hear his songs.
Sadly some of his songs suffered from bad, cheesy late 70's early 80's videos but we can forgive him for that, right?

Free as a bird
Talking with some fellow co-workers, I discovered that none of them had ever heard of the Beatles song 'Free as a bird'. This prompted me to look it up right away.
This is a very beautiful song and watching it really makes me miss Liverpool. As you see when you watch it there are tons and tons of references to some of the Beatles earlier works.
'Free as a bird' started life as a John Lennon demo and was given to the remaining band in 1994 by Yoko Ono. The finished the recording as though Lennon was away on holiday and it was released as part of the Anthology album in December 1995.
It was one of 2 new Beatles song, the other being called 'Real Love'. Also another good song. In my eyes, like many others, they did very little bad music.
What is your favorite Beatles track?
