lol Admit it, though, you don't like those songs either!

I don't mind Van Morrison.


"You Shook Me All Night Long", "Freebird", "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Brown Eyed Girl".


I like these songs quite a lot.

I'm not a fan of "Freebird," I can tolerate "Sweet Home Alabama," and I kinda like "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Brown Eyed Girl." OTOH, I love "Hotel California" -- my favorite Eagles song by a country mile.

Oooh.... they're just as bloated and awful as "American Pie" for me. Definite entries in my bottom 100 songs of all-time list!

I Believe In Miracles by The Pasadenas (originally by The Jackson Sisters)
All Along The Watchtower by Paul Weller. He makes it sound like Blue Oyster Cult!

eek You think the original is vomit-inducing? eek

I do, I do! I hate that shit. That's probably the one "classic" song that I out-and-out loathe. That being said, Madonna's version is even worse IMO; it's the worst thing she's ever done.

I actually don't mind Jordan Knight's "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man." It works as a ballad.

You're fucking nuts. lol

American Pie has got brilliant lyrics, but I hope to God no one ever tries to update it now. Can you imagine how long the telling of the History of Rock would take in 2007?

eek I hope you're not including the chorus. "Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry" makes me cringe each and every time I hear it.

shrug Choruses in most songs are generally pretty meaningless. Most of the time they're just filler; repetitive fulff designed to hold the verses that hold the real substance of the song together.

I adore the verses in American Pie, though I don't know why so many people think they're hard to interpret. It's the History of Rock music up 'til the point the song was written, and pretty clearcut IMO.
