I don't say that Lennon's heart was in wrong place, but he put his tongue on wrong places. I think people only care about this song for its lyrics; and you can find tons of songs with decent melodies and what this song has got is nothing more than that.

I don't think people only care for it because of the lyrics.. I think the song bears a great melody and a classic piano riff! But beside that, there are different ways to interpret his lyrics and only he knows (knew) what they exactly mean!

Perfect song or not, I still can't see why someone would pick this as their least favorite song! Is it really that overplayed?

Okay, maybe it's not up to date politically, or never was, but at least the song didn't invite you to do drugs and be destructive. John Lennon asked, in some way, for a better world.. I'm a wrong? And this is only the lyrical aspect of the song, what about the song's melody and atmosphere?

It's quite possible, you see. The song, more than being a work of art, tries to convey some ideas and when you come to evaluate those ideas, which the song itself invites to with its preaching tone, you can see the flaws:

Imagine all the people
Living for today . . . (Then what happens to our responsibility for the nature and future generations?)

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can (Some people in Russia have imagined that before)

Imagine six apartments
It isn't hard to do
One is full of fur coats
The other's full of shoes
