After List of songs recorded by Radiohead, it's time for my next song list, this time by the great John Lennon. It covers the songs he recorded during his solo career (not with the Beatles), including with wife Yoko Ono, the Plastic Ono Band, among other miscellaneous songs he co-wrote or performed on, such as David Bowie's "Fame". As always, I'm open to any comments or concerns anyone might have. Happy editing! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 03:06, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Quick query - "miscellaneous songs he co-wrote or performed on" - this implies that there might be songs included simply because he co-wrote them. As the title is "List of songs recorded by John Lennon" there should not be any songs on the list that he didn't himself record. Can you confirm.......? -- 08:56, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
  • ChrisTheDude So according to the liner notes for Starr's albums, Lennon wrote some songs for him and performed on them. He also co-wrote "Fame" by David Bowie and performed backing vocals and guitar I believe for that so I think that qualifies as recorded, but again I'm not sure. I definitely think "Fame" should be in the list but I can remove some of Starr's songs, except for "I'm the Greatest", which is verifiable that he performed on. Lennon actually performed on many of Yoko Ono's solo albums but I only included the only that are credited to the both of them. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:14, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the inclusion on "List of songs recorded by....." lists of songs on which the artist in question was not credited and only did something minor like backing vocals is something of a grey area, but if they are to be included, then I think you would need to include all such songs, not just pick and choose a selection. In the case of Lennon, that would potentially involve going to the extreme of listing "The Bitch Is Back", on which he played tambourine..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comments
    • As "Instant Karma!" ends with an exclamation mark, I don't think you need the full stop as well.
    • "more calmer" => "calmer". It's not possible to be "more calmer", as "calmer" is already a comparative adjective.
    • "an attack on former bandmate Paul McCartney" - avoid Easter egg links. Better to say "an attack on former bandmate Paul McCartney in the song....."
    • "a covers album of late 1950s and early 1960s rock songs, included covers of songs" - "covers" used twice in very quick succession - maybe change the second one to "versions"
  • I just removed it to say "included songs such as" as you're right, it reads weird.
    • A handful of released songs have no producer listed - is the info unknown?
  • So for some songs: "Free as a Bird", "Now and Then" and "Honey Don't" were recorded as home demos and don't have producers listed for them in liner notes or in sources I've found. Other live songs that don't have producers I can't find specific one for those specific songs; overall producers for their respective albums are listed on their WP pages but not for the specific songs, can't seem to find them in liner notes either. So I left them blank.
  • I just spotted a few other little things (sorry!)
    • In the lead, the two refs after the word "suffering" are the wrong way round
    • Notes c and e are complete sentences, so need full stops
    • Conversely, note k is not a full sentence so shouldn't have one -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:20, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
