Havin’ My Baby and I’ve Never Been To Me are the worst songs ever. Imagine isn’t even in the ballpark of bad.

It is a beautifully constructed song - Lennon was a pop music genius. He knew just where to bring in the drums, and then the strings.

But Lennon was no fool, and I suspect that if he were alive today he’d be singing a very different tune.

Also on that list?

Free Bird -- Lynyrd Skynyrd -- insipid lyrically and utterly banal melodically

Old Time Rock 'n' Roll -- Bob Seeger -- three chords, no original thoughts

Ramblin' Man -- Allman Bros -- sophomoric poetry set to infantile music

Ninety percent of the Beatles crap -- seriously? I Wanna Hold Yer Hand? Hard Day's Night? My dachshund can write better music than that.

Any disco.

Any (c)rap

Flame away.

Depending on one's point of view these are pretty bad; (the word awful is misued an awful lot ;-)

Pretty bad

Even worse but with lyrics

No. You’re thinking of “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro.

From the first time I heard it, I thought it was absolute trash. It has no redeeming qualities at all. I feel sorry for the clown if that is the way his mind worked.

But of course all of these “Peace and Love” types who protested the Vietnam War, had no problem with the Viet Cong going around and slaughtering entire villages.

IMAGINE was prominently featured in the movie, “The Killing Fields.”
The intent was ironic, to show the disparity between the naive beliefs of those who fall for the Communist party line, versus the reality.

The film was about the Pol Pot regime of Cambodia. It’s a must-see for every FReeper, and anyone with a brain, for that matter.

The scene in the concentration camp classroom, where the little boy is called to the front of the class, and the class then applauds him, is one of the most chilling —and truthful—I’ve ever seen in any movie.

John Lennon used the theme of "imagine no possessions, imagine if you can....." He sang about the "brotherhood of man" and if everyone shared.

He was worth $800,000,000 at his demise. Left all to Yoko Ono. He knew hard scrabble living in Liverpool in his early years. The old adage rings in my years. Something to the effect of leaving the act of philanthropy to others.

The only time I find myself singing that song is when I move. Packing up into boxes makes you imagine you had no possessions. Otherwise, it sucks big time.

Look, no one wants to even share their cell phone with even ONE OTHER PERSON. Sharing is not natural. Sorry.

I start searching for the remote control when I hear the “Under Pressure” lick starting. Ironically, 1% of the time I am pleasantly surprised when “Yo VIP, let’s kick it” comes out.
