Okay, let's see, what can I saw about Lennon - pretentious old hippie pre-new age BS... does that cover it? ;D
I suppose I would pick #9 Dream, at least it's good to do drugs to... ::)
(And tell Luke that Marianne did a much better version of "Working Class Hero") ;)

Great Post!! Starting Over - it was my first time hearing a John Lennon solo - ok I was 9. When I heard it - in the beginning it reminded me of David Bowie.

ANYbody being shot is just wrong. The ONLY problem I had with John is that he basically forgot about his first son Julian...other than that, I respected what he treid to do in the name of peace.

Technically not 1970's, but I LOVE Give Peace A Chance.
From the '70s Id pick Stand By Me and Happy Xmas (War Is Over), even though Yoko's voice on it really grates on me.

i love "When your crippled inside"
but my vote has to be for "Working class hero"
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still f***ing peasants as far as I can see
