Couple years ago I listened to Eric Burdon Declares War. Album was alright, but Tobacco Road was a stark reminder of why punk rock had to happen.

Ac/dc sucks shit.
Dire Straits is pretty good.
I really hate "Proud Mary" and "House of the Rising Sun"

when it comes to mass media, 90% of everything is shit. across all genres and forms of media. i love post-punk psychedelic rock type stuff but a lot of it is also about how great it is to be an alcoholic womanizer. i like a lot of electronic music of various kinds but i cringe whenever i hear an anime girl infant voice. i like a lot of rap and hip hop type stuff but a lot of it is just glorifying wealth and full of toxic patriarchal platitudes about dominating and winning. I absolutely adore a lot of jazz but at least half of the songs with lyrics are overly horny and sappy and slow for my taste. i almost exclusively hate classic rock but there are a handful of songs and bands i like, i somehow enjoy the Horse With No Name song and some songs by The Doors for example.
semi related mecha rant
this holds true even for other media, like i am straight up weirdly obsessed with mecha, but the vast majority of mecha media, shows games comics or movies, make design and worldbuilding choices i dislike, such as making the mecha impractically large (gundam, many others), or giving the heavily armored military vehicles exposed glass canopies instead of armored cockpits (mechwarrior, hi-vis cockpits work as a specialized design for like civilian or aerial/deep sea mecha, but not on LITERALLY EVERY MECH), or not giving the mech useable arms or hands (older mechwarrior games and star wars and many other generic mech games are bad about this, how are the mechs supposed to get up if they fall over with no arms? why build weapon mounts into the sides of a mech like they are arms and not house them in the armored interior or a turret like a tank? the entire advantage of a mech is that it can handle weird terrain with their ability to change posture and use their limbs, having no arms on a bipedal mech means the mech can't climb up slopes or crawl on the ground or get up after falling) or making all the mechs spider-tanks or otherwise multi-limbed (this is ok as an option or specialized type but when its the only kind of mech i think its lame imo, half the fun of mechs is that they let you do Humanoid Character Design free from some of the specific constraints of human anatomy without breaking verisimilitude)
Just remembered, Rod Stewart sucks. Just a newer generation of Elvis that sadly didn't die young.
Fuck Journey.
The worst classic rock song is either Thunderstruck (AC/DC) or Hotel California.
