I remember exactly where I was when it happened........
I remember my dad dropping me off at home to my mom after spending the weekend with him ( my parents were divorced) and my mom crying in front of the TV when it hit the news.

The beatles were one of the first groups to turn rock music into art. Lennon took it in a different direction in his solo career- his music stood for something and it had meaning.

Giving my opinion that i think he and his work is over-rated and i still stand by it.
like i said, shame he died but i cant understand the big thing, i think its more him dieing thats kept him famous than his work. Just like kurt cobain.

You're in a very small minority. Most people that don't care for his works, recognize his genius.

i dont see what he did. i dont see it.
led zeppelin took rock music to a whole different level
hendrix wrote some for its time amazing guitar work and used all those wah pedals n stuff
t-rex invented glam rock and the image factor with some fun tunes
bowie well, he did a fuck load.
alice cooper invented this shock rock thing
sex pistols brought on strong change and agression helping make way for metal.
and so on. i just dont get what lennon did, that was so amazing.

The Beatles did just about everything you mention above, and did it earlier. They also wrote at least 50% of the greatest pop songs ever, possibly more.

And everyone of those bands you mentioned will list John Lennon as one of their inspirations for doing what they do. What the Beatles did for rock music during the early to mid 60's put the genre on the map in a whole new direction.
Hendrix was covering Sgt. Pepper's before it was released.
Bowie was a huge fan of Lennon, eventually getting to work with him on Young Americans.
etc.....Lennon was part of the biggest movement in rock history. Also look at the techniques that the Beatles along with George Martin toyed around with during Sgt. Pepper's and the White Album and Revolver. Techniques that until that point were unheard of and have sense become mainstay staples in the recording process. And come on.....Julia is one of the most amazing tunes of all time.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
