In peoples opinion, what do you all think is Johns best vocal performace? I go for the following

Twist and Shout (how did he DO that!?)
Anna/Baby its you (Soul man!)
Money (another screamer and you can tell he means it!)
intro vocal to Mr Moonlight (wow)
A Day in the life (trippy man, you wouldnt think it was the same bloke who sang Money)
Come Together (stylish!)


Any other choices?

Yeah, definitely Happiness. But also,

Twist and Shout (of course)
Across the Universe
A Hard Day's Night
A Day in the Life

I don't think he was a great vocalist, though, at least in the traditional sense. But he had a good "rock" voice.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Does anyone have a hard time beleiving that the man who sang on Money and Twist and Shout is the same genteel voice on Imagine and Jealous Guy etc...?

You're comparing covers in 1963 (with the guys) and own songs in 1971 (WITH YOKO!!!)  . Now you understand, don't you?  
Seriously, in that way, think about the day Paul recorded I'm Down and Yesterday (the same evening)   (I know it's a very typical exemple)

Yeah I understood that. She sucked the living vocal daylights out of him

Just sometimes have to try hard to imagine its the same fella. A bit like the many faces of John. His face seemed to change every 2 years or so haha. Think Hamburg photos and the the skinny ponytailed guy in the Dakota. I mean - I know people change, but ....damn!

"When I Get Home" a song that highlights John's singing ability! A true old style rock song worth of another listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mean Mr Mustard
Glass Onion

Dig A Pony

btw, I think Jealous Guy is a great song and his singing in that is also great, just in a different way.
