No matter how many horrible songs are out there, I still can't move "After the Lovin'" from the number one spot on my list. Nothing makes me shudder like the opening line from that song.

I've seen Ode to Billy Joe mentioned numerous times on the worst song thread and I wonder what it is that makes people hate it. I think from a songwriting perspective, it's a pretty well-written song. No hook, too many verses and an interestingly told story. I like that.

How about Crimson and Clover? God!! What tripe!!!

And yeah, Jim Morrison wrote clumsy, barely collegiate level lyrics and SO many people think he was a profound genius. That's showbiz.
