"Instant Karma." I like "Cold Turkey" more and more these days, too.

for me it's "Stand By Me"... I know I know that the song was originally written by Ben E. King in early 60s, but IMHO Lennon's remake is a lot better than the King's original version.

I don't think John had many notable singles, so Woman would be my favourite.
Imagine is totally played out and I can take or leave the others   :(

While Imagine is always going to be the standard bearer of Lennons legacy, i really love Instant Karma and Cold Turkey. They both rock and if it wasnt for the primal scream therapy at the end of Cold Turkey, it would of been regarded as a Beatle great. I'm still not sure why they vetoed it has Paul or Ringo ever said why.

Although i dont think it was ever released as a single my favourite track fom John is Oh Yoko (John and Paul should have got together and released Let Me Roll It and Oh Yoko as a double a-side to show they were still influenced by each other.)

John wanted it to be a beatles song rather than a solo/plastic ono single. As they were managing Apple themselves at the time it was the foursomes choice. Obvioulsly Lennon wanted it that means at least 2 of the other 3 where opposed it being a Beatles single.
