An all-time favorite. It's amazing how John and Paul could craft a tune so effortlessly.

[Lupine]

His absolute best.

[RJDiogenes]

So simple and straightforward.

This one's a bit more grungy.

During his Commie stage That's from his first post-Beatle album, 1970's Plastic Ono Band. It's an incredible album.

[Lupine]

Hadn't heard that one before, but certainly a different style for him.

^^ It was a frequent flyer on WBCN back in the day.

I believe John collaborated with Elton John on this song

[Lupine]

Looked like the opening to Saturday Night Live for a moment there.

Yes, and the other half of that deal was Elton's cover of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

It does.

Mark was not a big fan of Paul's style of Pop Music, but I'm going to throw in "Band on the Run." If he liked any of them, this was probably it.

Paul was definitely the master of softer pop, which Mark understandably didn't care for. But Paul could get edgy at times (e.g., Helter Skelter)

[Lupine]

Another of the more famous ones.
