The Beebles In The 70s: Part 7
Imagine
John Lennon’s 2nd album is a huge change in style from his first, it’s much more commercial and conventional, with less harsh and intense moments, it’s also far less consistent.
Though that doesn’t take anything away from John’s admittedly fantastic songwriting skills and his knack for a catchy tune.

Favourite: Imagine
Worst: Oh Yoko!
1. Imagine - 10

3. Jealous Guy - 8.5

Track Picks: 'Jealous Guy', 'It's So Hard', 'I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Mama I Don't Wanna Die', 'How Do You Sleep?'
