Worst line from a GREAT song?
Okay, here's a harder one. Do you know any great songs marred by a patch of horrible songwriting?

Ex.: Generals gathered in their MASSES, just like witches at black MASSES (Ozzy rhymes masses with masses, yet doesn't ruin "War Pigs")

I'm not stoned really just kind of beautiful (sorry, Jimi, you could not write, but who cares?)

1. You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright ...

oh and that's alright by me.

It's in some ways the best line in one of the best songs, but in other ways, it is the worst.

I still can't hear that song too many times.

12. Jim Morrison and his fake-o deep lyrics!
I do dig that song though.

Even though generally I'm not a Doors fan.

10. "I know The Devil got my father but The Lord got daddy!"
Okay, maybe it's not a great song but it's a pretty good song that I always have to turn off before this line because it makes my head explode.
