Five Best: John Lennon

The lyrical mastermind behind history's most successful artist did some solo projects while the Beatles were still together, but he began his solo career in earnest in 1970.  "Imagine" is not only the best song of his solo career (by far), but one of the best songs anyone has ever done.  The jockeying for position is for the places behind that classic.  For artists with the depth of Lennon, we do a "Ten Best" with a few extras:

 

1.  Imagine

 

 

 

2.  Woman
