Top Ten Reasons John Lennon Secretly Sucked

A lot of people enjoy listening to music from the likes of John Lennon, and why not? After all, he was a key member of the Beatles, which was arguably the greatest pop band of all time. He wrote and sang many songs and was friends with some of the greatest people of the 20th century. And he also...wait...I guess that's it.
We don't mean to belittle or berate John Lennon's followers in any way, but the man was just not as great as he seemed. Here's 10 reasons why.
The Top Ten
1 Not a very good guy in general

He abused women and his own son (whom he never desired in the first place), changed his religion every few weeks, regularly found himself in petty conflicts with his fellow band members, was addicted to several different drugs for a time, never actually practiced what he preached in his music...what else do you want from me?

To those reading my list, keep in mind that John Lennon did some amazing things in his lifetime. However, lists that broadcast unpopular opinions are a hundred times more popular than a list everyone agrees on.

Yea, he wasn't good guy at all. But he did some good things too

2 Average guitar player

Fact. And an average singer too.

3 Cheesy lyrics
4 Slightly over-inflated ego
5 Liar and a hypocrite
6 Bad management of his band
7 Womanizer
8 He avoided old age

Whatever this means. Lol.

9 Couldn't decide for himself
10 He couldn't spread peace and love to everyone

"I have to say that, from my point of view, I felt he was a hypocrite", he said, "Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces��"no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself."
- Julian Lennon

The Contenders
11 He wasn't perfect

I couldn't agree more. John Lennon was such an amazing pioneer and the first to admit he wasn't perfect. His unparalleled brilliance lied in his humanity and amazing, searingly honest lyrics that were worldly, optimistic and so self reflective. I was always so moved by him and miss him, still, so much.

Were these all submitted by the same person? Just write a list like "Ten Reasons John Lennon Was Amazing" or something.

So... No everyone is perfect! Everyone is different and unique in their own way!

12 He encouraged yoko to record her singing
13 Wasn't as good as Paul McCartney

Jjohn was absolutely brilliant and his talent and humanity unsurpassed by anyone, including Paul.

14 He didn't save the world
15 He didn't end hunger
16 Horrible political mindset
17 He smelt a bit
18 Chose his wife over his own group of friends
19 He backed up his statements with rational arguments

No, he didn't. There was nothing "rational" about the Utopian, world-socialist views he had held and promoted. He came to recognize this once he cleared his brain of chronic drug use, and disavowed those views in the years before his death.
