The U2 albums The Edge called their greatest work: “The most satisfying”
The peak of their powers.
Rock
The 1967 Jimi Hendrix song about loving music more than women: “I wish I could caress”
“Instead of the same old everyday woman.”
The 1997 Foo Fighters classic Dave Grohl thought everyone would hate: “This is never gonna fly”
Going against the post-grunge brooding.
The singer Brian Wilson never wanted to talk to again: “I can’t be around the guy”
Only tolerating him.
The 1974 song Joe Perry crowned as Aerosmith’s greatest ballad: “The one I liked best”
The darker side of sensitivity.
The one artist Stevie Nicks called a musical soulmate: “Everything I wanted”
The best kind of partnership.
The 1958 song Bob Dylan and Jimmy Page called the greatest for guitar: “A masterpiece”
The pure sounds of guitar attitude.
The 2000 album John Paul Jones didn’t want to exist: “I couldn’t see the point”
Defeating the whole point.
The 1979 album Paul McCartney called a complete disaster: “Didn’t do well”
The wrong kind of postscript.
