Everyone has their own favorite Beatle, but John Lennon is one of the more obvious choices. It's not hard to see why, as he contributed to dozens of songs that fans revere to this day. His partnership with Paul McCartney yielded some of rock's greatest songs of the 60s, and the tunes with Lennon as the lead vocalist rank among the band's most striking tracks. "Across the Universe" is a poetically acoustic meditation on existence, "Dear Prudence" turns a pretty repetitive picking pattern into something that manages to compellingly build on itself anyway, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was covered by none other than Sir Elton John himself, "All You Need is Love" is one of the 60s' best evocations of peace, and Lennon's throaty delivery for "Twist and Shout" was a big part of The Beatles' early success. The list is almost endless.
