You may say I'm a cynic, but I'm not the only one: "Imagine" is highlight of Times Square

Like the author of this article, I love the Beatles and am a big fan of much of Lennon’s work. But “Imagine” is unadulterated crap. “Whatever Gets You Through The Night” would be my choice for New Year’s Eve.

People have always misinterpreted this song.

It must not be that great a song, then.

Auld Lang Sing what ever happened to it? Traditions are out the window yeh forget the ball, forget Times Square. Oh if they did that the traditionalists might come back.

Speaking of ..check out Andrew Bird’s version of Auld Lang Syne.

Utopian nihilism, all to a pedestrian melody.

You are correct: McCartney was the melodicist; Lennon was the lyricist.

Each needed the other. And both needed George Martin.

Re: The Beatles

I personally always despised the BUGS, their so called music was juvenile bubblegum noise in my opinion.
The only thing that made them popular was a bunch of hysterical, hormonal, bobby soxers that had the warmies for anything English.
The only English bands that ever wrote anything worth listening to was THE WHO, and a few tunes by the Rolling Stones.

I like the song and most of Lennon's/Beatles works....just have to keep it in perspective and understand that "Imagine" is the keyword which allowed him to not follow his dreams into the hard core reality of what despots do to people who don't have selfish/religious traits handicapping their will to fight for FReedom.

I Like "Instant Karma" too....
