    Worst of the '70s

    Some doozies!
    9. Morris Albert - 'Feelings' | Readers' Poll: The 10 Worst Songs of the 1970s | Rolling Stone
    http://www.rollingstone.com
    Thankfully, Morris Albert has no incredibly sad story and famous offspring that will make you regret voting for his song. He's just the singer of an incredibly, stunningly crappy song. "Feelings" has been mocked for a good 30 years, largely for the lack of specificity in the lyrics. What kind of feelings is Morris singing about? It's clearly a love song, but it's hard to think of a vaguer term than "feelings" to describe, um, feelings. Albert maintains a following in his native Brazil, but he hasn't much success in America since he shared his "Feelings" with us back in 1975. If you wonder why punk had to happen, listen to this song.

    Not a fave by any means, but America's version of Muskrat Love is undeniably more palpable.

        Joe - who performed "Please shoot me now?" Given the news, it sounds prescient.
