Uhhhh no. No it's not. Not in any universe ever. Not even ACROSS the universe!

Erroneous. It is.

I don't see Imagine as some happy song, hell, I see it as a depressing song, and APC's cover captures this perfectly.

Also, all Beatles solo stuff sucks. No exceptions.

Who says it's supposed to be happy? I don't think it is, the point of the song is about imagining a world where those things exist, or could exist, which clearly isn't the world we're living in. Yes there's hope involved (the dreamer part) but it still doesn't try to make light of how things really are. Just laments about how they could be if we tried.

I'll give you that the Beatles were not remotely the same solo as they were as a cohesive unit, but that does not mean their solo stuff sucks. A lot of the stuff on the later albums that many people love (The Beatles, Abbey Road, etc) were mostly done as solo projects anyway, so clearly they're not that terrible when they're on their own.

I'm a drug induced Beatles fan to begin with, and not in love with most of the newer, post-drug stuff, so take that as you will.

Besides, the best post-huge band from the 1960s solo album is Syd Barret - Madcap Laughs. Stunning album from a mentally unstable genius.
