More John Lennon 10/9/40

Top 12 openly, purely John songs, as opposed to Lennon/McCartney songs that were real collaborations. In no order:

If I Fell

I Should've Known Better
You're Gonna Lose That Girl

Help!

Ticket to Ride

In My Life

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Dear Prudence

I’m So Tired

Rain

A Day in the Life

Across the Universe

 This almost made it but got bounced for not actually being released until 1995.
