03/09/2008 | The fast hard version was great. I didn't pay any attention to the lyrics when I was a kid, actually, I still don't.

03/25/2007 | Definitely the loudest and most agressive Beatles song ever, 'Revolution' can be interpreted as a political statement of its time (with both the liberals and conservatives at different times laying claim to the song as one of their own). One of the many popular Lennon-McCartney collaborations, John Lennon plays the electric guitar, Paul McCartney delivers the trademark primal scream leading to Lennon's vocals, and Ringo Starr punctuating the song throughout with a thundering drum beat. Iconic and widely used through many commercial outlets, 'Revolution' doesn't hold anything back.

08/21/2005 | Great guitar, good vocals, good lyrics.
I once tried to talk one of my political clients into using it as his theme song. (I was only about half kidding.)
He wouldn't go for it. Got his butt kicked at the polls anyway.

03/11/2005 | fantastic Protest song that actually questions the protest. I dont Lennon hides how much he wants his peers to consider their actions and allegiences. the song rocks pretty hard too. I myself prefer the slower version on the White Album where the line is but when you talk about destruction, dont't you know that you can count me out..in. which i think gives the song a fantastic ambiguity. damn, rock was much smarter 37 years ago.

09/21/2004 | Lennon went headlong into his pro communist phase and this song was, I thought, sarcastically written to mock the US reaction to the communist threat. You say you've got a real solution, well, you know, we'd all love to see the plan showed everybody talked idealistically. But change came hard, We'd all love to change your head and but if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow indicated Lennon's impatience with people who only paid lipservice to the move toward communism. Imagine was his effort at a softer approach to convincing people that communism shouldn't be scary and wasn't it about all the right things, after all? No religions, no greed, no countries. He was a real idealist, but he was still selling, make no mistake.

10/08/2003 | Terrific song, probably their heaviest song after Helter Skelter, but uplifting too. The lyrics are a little naive politically, but those were the days when everyone was naive about things. It's basic rock and roll with highly overdriven guitars, and a great melody and some sing-along clappy bits. The acoustic version is pretty sweet too, if a little too laidback.
