The 1989 song Jeff Lynne said sounded like heaven: “Everyone was rooting for him”
The sweet sounds of a vocal legend.
The crooner who gave Aerosmith their biggest hit: “I had chills all over my body”
The heart behind every rock ballad.
The 1972 classic rock song Dave Grohl called “the coolest thing I’d ever heard”
The heart of all good hard rock.
The 1970 song Paul Simon said he needed to disown: “Not as good a feeling”
No longer in his possession.
The 1972 Rolling Stones album Mick Jagger thought missed a trick: “No pretty tunes”
Never having the real knockouts.
The 1980 tour that reduced Roger Waters to tears: “I find it hard to say this”
The right kind of empathy.
The one Beatle George Martin said wasn’t a great musician “but a great man”
Not the best technical ability.
