The mind behind the Eagles’ 1975 best-selling album: “Everything lined up for us”
A money maker.

The 1975 album Pete Townshend could never relate to: “I felt detached from my own songs”
The right songs with the wrong drive.
The 1967 Beatles song that broke Brian Wilson’s spirit: “He just shook his head”
The problem with influence.
The moment in 1990 Chris Cornell called “the death of the innocence” in grunge
When music goes from fun to deadly serious.
The 1973 Rolling Stones song that their label tried to destroy: “They’ve given us a lot of trouble”
Not suitable for the public.
The 1965 song Tom Petty could never understand: “Over our heads”
The complicated side of the British invasion.
The 2001 Slipknot song that Corey Taylor recorded naked: “Did that song in two takes”
Suffering for your art.
The 1970 recording John Lennon always wanted to delete: “It was a lousy track”
Never sounding quite right.
