Imagine is not an anti-war song. it is an anti dogma song
but I will heartily agree that it is overplayed, and thereby has become hackneyed, and too many people mistake it's intents and overuse it endlessly.

Ok so John Lennon wasn't an anti-war protester now?

"Give Peace A Chance" would be a better example of the "annoyingly blatant anti-war song."
Man, is that song annoying. |

It certainly has non-dogmatic aspirations but a psychologist would tell you it was born out of John Lennon's aspiration of being Ghandi or something.

It is about striving for a Utopia, which, as with all ideals, is only good to strive to since it can never be truly reached, but the striving is what gives it value, the striving makes us better
Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

well, those sentiments may be barf inducing to ya, but I for one am wholly for the eradication of all religion, all dogma, all prejudice, all the FALSE divisions between us as humans. those are the things that keep us killing each other and degrading each other. enjoy world war III, it's already started.

They have some great songs but that is absolute SHIT!

for a long long time it used to be bonnie tyler - total eclipse of the heart, but that somehow has become more acceptable ever since i heard the v/vm version)
foreigner - i wanna know what love is anything by meatloaf, but especially i will do anything for love (it's not only annoying, but it's really long as well) shania twain - at least two or three songs generally speaking, most "christmas hits", because they always come back to irritate you at the same time each and every year. beatles' ob-la-di bo-la-da and hey jude are good picks as well... also yellow submarine... and living da vie da loca (ricky martin) actually used to annoy the fuck out of me at the time. i'd take just about every robbie williams song over that. |

I can't help but read an accidental negative-Totalitarianism in that (And the world WILL be as ONE) and I find 'Imagine alll the people/ living for today' to be one of the most reprehensible sentiments imaginable. I shall offer no more, as Messr Instigator is, generally speaking, a top poster and not someone I can be arsed with arguing with. I'm just going to say that I am talking from cold, hard, objective, ontological fact when I re-iterate it's the worst thing ever, apart from Bono.

That song is a bland, nauseatingly naive, doped-up pile of excrement. The only reason it has obtained the popularity that it has (mostly posthumously, I might add) is because for a space of about 15 years, give or take, soccer moms, potheads, and disillusioned bankers alike united in the common goal of licking John Lennon's asshole. (This is not to say Lennon didn't have his merits, but your bowel movements would have to be interspersed with 10-carat diamonds for me to worship you like that.) Catchy melody? Thought-provoking lyrics? Innovative instrumentation? That would be a triple nay. Aside from being written by an idealistic, unbathed, pussy-whipped hippie, that song is horrid simply because it is. |

I don't have any issues with Yoko in the least. It's her soft-headed husband I have minor complaints about.
