Liverpool, United Kingdom (1968 – 1980)
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English rock musician, singer, songwriter, and peace activist, born in Liverpool, UK who gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and “wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history”. He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after McCartney.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature, and biting wit, in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. After The Beatles, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career (that started in 1968, 2 years before the break-up of The Beatles) with such acclaimed albums as John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and iconic songs such as “Give Peace a Chance” and “Imagine”. After a self-imposed “retirement” to raise his son, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. The album would go on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

I agree John's solo work is much better than Paul's which is sad since they both wrote such good stuff in The Beatles.

He's the only Beatle who was able to make music as good as the group together. Plastic Ono Band is one of my all time favorites. I love hearing his voice when he's pushing it so hard like he does so much in that one. Paul was such a goober by comparison. Mark David Chapman deserves to die slow in a fire. It's just not fair.

"He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after McCartney." personally, I think John Lennon is greater than Paul McCartney music-wise when the Beatles split. I love them both, though! :)
