This week marks the death of legendary musician John Lennon, who died 40 years ago.

He was the leader of The Beatles, and in his solo career he created anthems, experimented with noise, and wrote some of the great love songs.

He also wrestled with being a Beatle, perhaps more than any of the others.

To explore this and pay tribute to Lennon on the anniversary of his death, music critic Simon Sweetman joins us with a selection of his favourite songs from Lennon's solo career.
