Had a bad night of no sleep, with some terrible lyrics stuck in my head last night. "Ten Years After"s "I'd Love to Change the World" (Please, god, make it stop! Make it stop!) So I spent another night on the web researching the worst lyrics of classic rock history. Got any personal "worsts?" Leave 'em in a comment. (Oldies don't count because they were too early to be in the era of self-absorbed songwriting, and anything from 1980 and beyond was already effectively dead and rotting since the disco era and whatever followed). So let's say from The Day the Music Died (Buddy Holly's death on February 3, 1959, to when John Lennon died (1980).
Keep in mind this only means lyrics. "Worst Performances of All Time," such as William Shatner singing(?) "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" will have to wait for another time. (Damn, just thinking of that made me throw up in my mouth.)
