Instant Karma

[Mudbug]

This is Lennon at his best. And what is Yoko knitting? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/instant_karma

On this day 26th Jan in 1970, John Lennon wrote, recorded, and mixed his new single, "Instant Karma," all in one day. It ranks as one of the fastest-released songs in pop music history, recorded at London's Abbey Road Studios and arriving in stores only ten days later. The single peaked at No. 3 on the US chart and No. 5 in the UK.

Great song, my favourite Lennon track next to 'Cold Turkey'

Yoko Ono sucks.

Instant Karma and Happiness is a Warm Gun DEFINITELY should've been in there, I was actually surprised when I realised they had slipped my mind.

Here's my previous list, for songs only from his solo career -

Real Love would've been in there but I didn't have the file at the time...

One of his best songs for sure. Top 5 in his solo career along with Mind Games & #9 Dream.

Listen to "The Roller" by Liam Gallagher's band "Beady Eye"

The most blatant Instant Karma rip off you'll ever hear.

Gallaghers ripping off Beatles?

Never!

(I have heard the song you're talking about and yeah it is very blatant.)

They've ripped them off before I know, but The Roller takes it to a whole other level.
