The Steely Dan song that left Michael McDonald completely defeated: “I wasn’t able to do it”
“I smoked way too much at that point.”
The one singer Tom Petty said was always perfect: “He’s such a pitch freak”
The greatest heights of rock singing.
The “sacrilegious lullaby” that Bob Dylan would rather forget
Cast in the “voice of a generation” role.
The song John Lennon wrote to outdo the ultimate protest anthem: “In me secret heart”
The sounds that moved the people.
The period of Rush that Alex Lifeson hated most: “It’s not even a real instrument”
Being kept at a distance musically.
The song Jeff Lynne was nervous to play for Paul McCartney: “I didn’t want to mess it up”
Doing right by his heroes.
