The most underrated "Classic Rock" song is DEFINITELY...

[MrScorpio]

Love Hurts by Nazereth

This song OWNED the 1970's. But no one ever talks about it.

Love Hurts, the anthem for an entire decade...

6. Most definitely.

I love that song.

[Robeson]

7. Be careful when defining a 70's song as "classic rock". Some were and some weren't.

9. I like the older versions of that song a lot better

Everly Bros, Roy Orbison, etc.

Maybe you had to be there. I was in diapers when Nazereth recorded that, although according to my mom, I loved The Eagles.

13. I can back that. It's the perfect rock counterpoint to the 60s.

The inclusion and loving Utopia of the 60s crashes into the lonely, painful isolation of the 70s. Love hurts, unconditional sex is the truest relationship and the highest goal of the individual, who is only happy alone or in brief romances centered on physical and material pleasure. It is the second part of the conversation begun during the Summer of Love--not quite a rejection, so much as a qualified response by those who haven't found their soulmates. Freedom and rejection of societal conventions is still the goal, but Nazareth understands that for some the ideal of freedom can only be found alone, in a rejection of the bounds of love.
