The Beatles

John Lennon

Rhythm guitar, keyboards, vocals · October 9, 1940 · Liverpool

98 songs written115 lead vocals95 backing vocal

The acerbic wit and restless intellectual of the group. Lennon drove the Beatles’ avant-garde and confessional impulses – from the raw R&B energy of the early years to the lysergic experiments of 1967 and the naked vulnerability of the White Album. His songwriting evolved from witty pop craft to radical honesty.
