It's long, long, long been my opinion that 'Ramblin Man' features two 'worst of all time' honors. One, for the lyrics in the chorus. Makes a Stevie NIcks song almost complicated by comparison. Even worse, the seemingly never ending guitar solo featuring a four note lick repeated over and over. And over and over. Thunder only happens when it rains, trying to make a living and doing the best I can.
