I think that part of the fun of looking back at songs from rockers who are seemingly so angry or dismissive at women is that the source of their anger is most likely hurt. A wise man once told me that hurt is root of all anger, and so figure out what's hurting you and you'll figure out why you're angry. Miss that guy.<br /><br />Anyhoo, I respect the choice. Predictably, I fall into the camp that would pick a Doors song as the greatest capper ever (The End) because by the end of that song you don't know whether to laugh, weep or cheer since Morrison lays out everything that's wrong inside his head without remorse. <br /><br />It's all subjective, though I can argue that the *worst* closing track of all time is "Inside" off 5150 because it's the ultimate anti-climax after a brilliant album.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
