I'm not sure it changed a huge amount as I feel like he'd reached a peak of creativity and was coming down from it just before he was shot. He's like a lot of creative characters from our history in that he died at just the right time and there's a huge likelihood the rest of his out put would have been inferior if he'd lived. Albert Camus died with the manuscript of his final book in the back of the car - it won the Nobel Prize for literature when published. I think people are given to us and taken from us to make their mark, the deeper the mark, the longer they live on in our hearts and minds, hence why Lennon is still talked about now.

driver08UK, i think you misread the question. it was not tell me the life story of the Beatles. LOL
John Lennon had some good songs and i think a lot of people were influenced by him. The world of music did not change because he died though. The music world is always evolving so it would have even if he had not died.

The works of Lennon & McCartney are worded like that for a reason!
Who ever say's he only wrote one good song is a fool.
He was without a doubt one of the most influencial people of the time & has contributed to todays music in many ways.

100% YES! I think he was such an inspiration for everything, the music he was making was full of meaning and peace. Music now a day is meaningless (at least most of them) and violent. If John Lennon was alive i would marry him for sure, he was such a great person!

Perhaps the biggest change his death bought about was the fact that now there definitely wasn't going to be a Beatles reunion. i think people were always hoping it would happen. I don't really think his music in the 70s pushed music in the way it had done when he was in the Beatles. But who knows what he might have done if he's stayed alive?

There suddenly was one fewer Limey leeching off the American music scene. Beyond that? I can't think of a thing that changed.
Well, there was a smige more oxygen in the air that the rest of us could share, but that was only a temporary thing and soon was averaged out to the point that no one could detect it.

It went on. He wasnt the god of music. In fact when he got together with Yoko he went a little weird with his music. Imagine was good but some of the other stuff was ecclectic.

A piece of hope and beauty was taken from this world of music.

I wouldn't say that it really changed anyone else's way of music thinking. But it still makes me sad cuz he was killed a year before I was born! WTF!? :(
...And it was "Lennon/McCartney" because L comes before M alphabettically! (not that I care, I love them both!)
