True.  Still, it's too bad your parents didn't teach you manners.  Or that your mind actually held enough to speak about. 

just like(starting over) owns you

Well, I aint that crazy about 'Imagine' to be honest with you. I think this song is alot more pleasing to the ear.

I'm glad someone spoke up and gave an honest opinion of "Imagine." I really love the song, but I'm tired of it being eulogized and proclaimed to be his best song. That's utter rubbish, because no one can ascertain for the general what anyone's best song is.

Personally, I'm a fan of his obscure, lesser-known, lesser-appreciated songs. I LOVE to death things like "Oh My Love" and "Out the Blue" and "Tight A$" and "Nobody Loves You (When You're Down and Out" and "Remember", "I Found Out", "Crippled Inside" and everything that's on Milk and Honey and, God, his demos...they are seriously beautiful.

He has soooo many gorgeous, gorgeous songs that just send shivers up my spine and what do I hear people say? "Oh "Imagine." I think I could go on the rest of my life not hearing that song again and be fine. But the others? Never take them from me. I guess I'm one of the few, strange John fans. Don't know...

But anyway..."Starting Over"? I love it. Great fun, great song, who cares if there's no message. People like Paul's music and he rarely says much. If you like a song for whatever reason, that's all that matters.

Starting Over is one of his best in my opinion.......I love Imagine, but I've just heard it so much....that and "Jealous Guy" often prevent me from putting the Imagine album on because I'm a bit tired of hearing those two tracks.....they're amazing songs, but they've just been overplayed for me.

what the heck is this person is talking about just like startinng over Rocks \m/ SOMEONE is full of it...don't want to point out who but you'll know who i am talking about

I have to agree about Imagine.
I feel this song has absorbed too much publicity and over-rated context, and as a result..the Lennon* aura that surrounds this rulebook for Peace, has become part of the furniture in the Over-rated section of Rock history.
Its a good song, but the fame and quality it often gets is just absurd. Like many people have said, there are a good dozen better Solo Lennon Songs.

Yes there is hype surrounding it but it is still an amazing song.

Too bad about what's happened to "Imagine". I remember liking it so much when John was still with us; after John died, it just became too much of an anthem, and it kind of took on a whole different spirit as though it was John speaking to us from beyond. It was a little song you rarely heard on the radio, but now it's overplayed.

yeah, couldnt agree more....for once

It's a beautiful thing, Indy -- a beautiful thing

Throw me in with you two.  I have always hated the overplaying and over estimation of this song.  It IS a pretty melody, affectedly performed.  But the lyrics are, frankly, trite.  They were then, they still are.

Still, I guess anthems don't rely on logic.
