In case this hasn't been done, now that we have Dylan's "Roll On, John," maybe we should keep a running list of tribute songs to John (post 1980) and/or references to him or his death. Then, at some point, one of you who like polls or contests can run one for these songs, or people can just list their Top 10 or whatever. If not, at least we'll have a collection of songs for people to purchase or download. Here's a start:
Here Today - Paul All Those Years Ago - George Roll on, John - Dylan My Dreams - Mark Chesnutt Empty Garden - Elton John Fall of the Peacemakers - Molly Hatchett The Late Great Johnny Ace - Paul Simon 3 Warning Shots - Rick Springfield Far Side of Crazy - Wall of Voodoo Life is Real - Queen
These were just off the top of my head. If you care, add to the list. Also, remember, this is post-1980, so no Garden Party, Too Many People, and such.

Good call, sayne. I also was thinking that with Dylan's new tribute it would be good to review this very topic.
"I Just Shot John Lennon" The Cranberries
I thought that this was a powerful song with more than a passing nod to Yoko's style. I bought the album way back when.
sayne, I've heard a band that could do a unique but killer cover of this!
