I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

The absolute worst is when the ending is the clear best part of the song, but the band doesn't know how to end it so they just fade it out. Fading out the climax of the song! Wtf

Also, and this is more a 70s/80s thing, very long solos in a song that's more of a dance bop. I am specifically looking at you Ian Dury and your song "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick"

Looking at you Sunglasses at Night. I only recently discovered that there's a version that includes the full guitar solo, but that never gets radio play sicko-no .
