Imagine
"I've always considered my work one piece whether it be with Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, or Yoko Ono. And I consider that my work won't be finished until I'm dead and buried and I hope that's a long, long time."
Today, December 8th, marks the thirtieth anniversary of John Lennon's passing. An icon of peace, he was gunned down by one Mark David Chapman because he saw Lennon as 'phony' and figured that killing Lennon would make him a somebody.
Although mostly recognized for his work with the Beatles, Lennon also had a very successful solo career as well as with his wife Yoko Ono.

So, in honor of his life and memory, what are your favorite Lennon works? Mine would have to be 'Revolution', 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'Imagine', 'I Am the Walrus' and his work in the film 'A Hard Day's Night'.
