I was hoping to get the one more vote to break some ties, but since it didn't happen, I'll use the method I've used in the past and award the win to the higher ranked song:
So here are the matches:
#1 Working Class Hero vs. #17 Steel And Glass
#2 Jealous Guy vs. #15 Move Over Ms. L
#3 Oh My Love vs. #14 Love
#4 Remember vs. #13 Gimme Some Truth
#5 Beautiful Boy vs. #12 God
#6 Grow Old With Me vs. #11 How Do You Sleep
#7 I'm Losing You vs. #23 Oh Yoko
#8 What You Got vs Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)

My Picks: (Winners is Caps)
#1 Working Class Hero vs. #17 Steel And Glass Easy sin for WORKING CLASS HERO
#2 Jealous Guy vs. #15 Move Over Ms. L Move Over Ms L is fun, but JEALOUS GUY is classic Lennon
#3 Oh My Love vs. #14 Love I swear I didn't intentionally set this up! Like both songs, but OH MY LOVE a personal favorite
#4 Remember vs. #13 Gimme Some Truth Again I like both songs, but GIMME SOME TRUTH is my pick.
#5 Beautiful Boy vs. #12 God Yet again I like both, but BEAUTIFUL BOY is...more beautiful
#6 Grow Old With Me vs. #11 How Do You Sleep Finally an easy one. Somewhat ironic pairing for me since the last time I listened to How Do You Sleep (which is the last time I will ever listen to it) it made me very depressed. I then put on GROW OLD WITH ME and wept tears of bittersweet joy and sadness.
#7 I'm Losing You vs. #23 Oh Yoko My big upset by the rankings. I love the joy of OH YOKO
#8 What You Got vs Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out) NOBODY LOVES YOU is OK and I don't like What You Got at all
These votes make me realize how much I love the best songs on IMAGINE as half my picks are from that album. However the one IMAGINE song I didn't pick also reminds me of what keeps IMAGINE from being among the very top of the heap of my favorite albums.

#6 Grow Old With Me vs. #11 How Do You Sleep Finally an easy one. Somewhat ironic pairing for me since the last time I listened to How Do You Sleep (which is the last time I will ever listen to it) it made me very depressed. I then put on GROW OLD WITH ME and wept tears of bittersweet joy and sadness. Don't take "How Do You Sleep" so personal CoachBK! Paul can and maybe should but for the rest of us we are just flies on the wall(or maybe just bricks in the wall). It is my hope that someday you will join me and recognize HDYS as a brilliant Solo Lennon song even if you still disagree with the message! Sneaky Paul kind of deserved it in 1970/1971 but I do think John was wrong to mock Paul for his dependence on Linda when John wrote the book on spousal dependence!

I just think John did such a poor job with this. He COULD have come up with some clever lyrics, instead he went the juvenile route. As for the music, it is the definition of a "dirge". If someone chose to isolate George's slide solo, I might listen to that. Otherwise I have no interest.

#1 Working Class Hero #2 Jealous Guy #3 Oh My Love #13 Gimme Some Truth #12 God #6 Grow Old With Me #7 I’m Losing You #8 What You Got
The last pairing was the only one that caused any pause for thought.

#1 Working Class Hero vs. #17 Steel And Glass Both are great songs. Steel and Glass holds up better with repeated listens.
#2 Jealous Guy vs. #15 Move Over Ms. L Jealous Guy is a much better song.
#3 Oh My Love vs. #14 Love Oh My Love is my pick here.
#4 Remember vs. #13 Gimme Some Truth Gimme Some Truth.An easy pick.
#5 Beautiful Boy vs. #12 God Beautiful Boy. Another easy one.
#6 Grow Old With Me vs. #11 How Do You Sleep How Do You Sleep. This is an easy walk for me.Just about any song would beat Grow Old.
#7 I'm Losing You vs. #23 Oh Yoko I'm Losing You. I'm going with the harder rocking song.
#8 What You Got vs Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out) What You Got is much more fun.
