The classic 1971 song Keith Richards never wanted Mick Jagger to play: “I’d never let him”
Not the time or the place.

Not getting everything right.
The 1970s legend Phil Collins was never able to please: “It doesn’t go like that”
Not treated like an equal.
The band Brian May knew would be remembered forever: “Long after all of us have left”
Once on the charts, forever in our hearts.
The “primitive” Beatles song that hurt John Lennon in 1968: “He even recorded it by himself”
Lennon was excluded from the track.
The 1989 song Soundgarden used to parody the stupid side of rock: “Ditch all the euphemisms”
Soundgarden takes on hair metal.
The 2005 song Billie Joe Armstrong wanted to be remembered for: “It’s so epic”
The heart of his creative genius.
