Trying to identify the "worst" songs in Rock history seems an odd way to go about things to my mind. I tried in this piece grahamcunningham.substa… to tease out what made for the "best" of it (includes a fair (but not exhaustive) number of YouTube links.

An excerpt: "For most people all this is a big thing in their lives in their teens and twenties; from then on interest wanes. Those for whom this phase ran its course at anytime in the 60’s to 90’s tend to think of themselves as having been around for the best of it. If the thee billion plus hits on Spotify’s most streamed songs is the measure, you could argue that it is now bigger than ever. But nobody seriously believes that any of them will go down in history as great ones. So what will? What songs will endure when all rock’s ephemera evaporates into the mist of time?....."

Check out the Youtube links (mostly towards the end).
