https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'd_Love_to_Change_the_World?wprov=sfti1#Release_and_reception:
Background and composition
The song was written and sung by [Alvin Lee](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Lee) and features a folk-inspired chord pattern to support the melody. It discusses the confused state of the world, covering a wide variety of societal complaints, until it finally addresses the [Vietnam War](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War).[[2]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'd_Love_to_Change_the_World#cite_note-greenwald-2)
Release and reception
"I'd Love to Change the World" was the band's highest charting single. It peaked at number 40 on the [Billboard](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine))[Hot 100](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100) in 1971.[[3]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'd_Love_to_Change_the_World#cite_note-allmusic-3) When it was released, "I'd Love to Change the World" was a staple of both FM and [AM](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_broadcasting) radio, a rarity for the time.[[citation needed](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]
Billy Walker of [Sounds](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounds_(magazine)) wrote that the "acoustic guitar, echoing vocals, and electric guitar build up the tempo with very good cool electric passages by Alvin [Lee], and while there's nothing new developing it's a very nice track".[[4]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'd_Love_to_Change_the_World#cite_note-4) Matthew Greenwald of [Allmusic](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allmusic)highlighted Lee's guitar work as the "most expressive—and most tasteful—electric guitar performance of his career", and added "if there is a single song that can describe the overall vibe of the counterculture in 1969/1970, this may very well be it. The band and Lee never quite matched the song's supple power in their later efforts, but this song is representation enough of their awesome artistry."[[2]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'd_Love_to_Change_the_World#cite_note-greenwald-2)

We , seldom, talk here about the poetry. Now let’s recall the Rock songs with a meaningful, powerful and beautiful poetry.
I am listening to one at present.
Don’t look back by Boston

This one's about needing some Good News in your life and sticking it out until you get it. It's kinda like Smashing Pumpkins meets Blink-182 meets Foo Fighters or something like that.

Hello! My name is Chris and I write and produce music in a band called Great Demise from SoCal. I’d love for you to check out our brand new song “CLAUSTROPHOBIA” that just dropped. This song hits hard and is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written so I’d appreciate if you’d check it out! It’s hard for little bands to get their names out there so I’m doing all I can to post I’m as many communities as I can. Much love! Enjoy!

So I'm doing custom magic the gathering cards, and am looking for "houses of vice". Like... famous locations in Rock music that aren't real, but represent a vice of some sort.
So far I have Hotel California (I know there is one in mexico but I doubt they're singing about that), Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino, and House of the Rising Sun. I'd prefer older songs (I know Tranquility Base is 2018, so I'd like to find something older if possible).
