Going back on his craft.

The 1980 song Billy Joel thought he butchered: “This song really sucks”
Not doing the lyrics justice.
The 1970 song Paul Simon called his greatest work: “This is better”
The most beautiful melodies there are.
“I love it to death”: The underrated song Elton John has loved since 1969
Still the same rock and roll energy.
The one musician Pete Townshend crowned as a “guitar genius”
Discovering the new ways of the six-string.
The 1987 tour that made Roger Waters fall out of love with performing: “A real struggle”
Not seeing the point anymore.
The “number one” Beatles song Paul McCartney and the band rejected in 1962: “We can’t be seen with that”
Far too poppy for their standards.
The 1977 Queen song Brian May thought was arrogant: “Too big-headed”
Too much of their ego in a song.
The singer Dolly Parton knew no one could replace: “Nobody I related to more”
The beginnings of musical hysteria.
The 1950s genre Joni Mitchell said is gone forever: “A certain joy went out”
Completely finished off.
