We wrote songs for the Drifters, but we also put the call out to all the best songwriters in our world. And people expected the Wolf, because he was such a big guy, to just sit in a chair and belt it out. And when I played with Ron for the soundtrack of Velvet Goldmine, the first week was a crash course on how to play Stooges songs. Elvis ended up covering the song and took a lot of the glory there. Sometimes I put on Tupac's best songs, followed by Biggie's best songs. It's hard to believe somebody could do so many different things. WebRT @ClassicFM: Pianist, producer and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has been one of the most influential figures in music over the past 45 years, has died after a long battle We have to let people know that Howlin' Wolf and Muddy and Little Walter and all these cats made Chicago the world capital of the blues.

I realized these songs were all acts of imagination, that Ray was commemorating an England that was slipping away. The song was called "Superman," a bit of meticulously crafted bubblegum that was so simple and honest and funny that my entire nascent library of cassettes (chiefly: Yaz, Scritti Politti and Depeche Mode) seemed to be rendered obsolete in the span of the track's three minutes.

I heard a story maybe apocryphal that Queen played a festival and got booed off the stage.

The first song of theirs that I vividly remember hearing was "Take It Easy." I was initially skeptical, but I agreed to give it a shot. I didn't know what "production" was back then, but I knew I loved the music. Then, years later, I went to the White House (back when Clinton was in office), and Al was there performing. From his records, it sounded like he was projecting from a completely different place in his body.

In 1978, Holidays version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Call it his refinement or the civility of intelligent life. Anyone who has ever been to a Metallica show, and banged their head, and thrown up the devil horns, has been a part of something great. And yet the songs are perfectly realized, well arranged. I said most cities with famous musicians, like Chicago they end up naming a street or something after them.

Georges Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, 18841886. They performed some of the most dramatic records ever written: "Standing in the Shadows of Love," "Bernadette," "Reach Out I'll Be There," "I Can't Help Myself" and "Baby I Need Your Loving." When I sang backup for Don Henley in the early Nineties, it was a surreal experience, supplying vocals every night to Eagles songs. The Eagles provided the soundtrack to so many of my summers, and likely many of yours, too. Everything on a song like "Black Magic Woman" works: the keyboards, the congos, the drums, the vocals.

When I hear Metallica, I get this feeling that they're doing something that they have to do.

Tupac's aggressive records are my favorite. And here's a single for you. There are bands out there still trying to sound like the Sex Pistols and can't, because they were great players. was totally a going concern. Run-DMC gave "Slow and Low" to the Beastie Boys. Intellectually, Clapton was a purist, although there was little evidence of it in the beginning. Tom had the same influences we had the Byrds, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash but he dropped in lots of serious old blues. Below we'll look at some of the most influential artists who changed music and culture between 2010 and 2019. In the beginning, Tina's music was based on hard times and harsh realities. But then they started writing anita kunztheir own rhymes, and when Licensed to Ill came out, it went to Number One. The Dead are like that too. But the crowd loved them, because they weren't trying to be black rappers. The most spectacular Jackie Wilson show I ever saw was at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater, around 1960. Our waiter, Blixa Bargeld, leaned in to me and whispered, "The music is a birthday surprise for Lou. But my favorite song on the record has always been "Nobody's Fault," which is the second song on the B side. You don't have to emulate them, but thanks to them, you can take it anywhere. They were definitely going for a hit single with the song "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth." How many artists make it 15 years without embarrassing themselves, let alone while maintaining their relevancy? The Beatles, Eminem and more of the best of the best, BTS Suga (as Agust D) Reveals New Album D-Day Out This Month, See BTS Jung Kook Debut New Single Dreamers at FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony, Drake & 21 Savage, Selena Gomez and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week, Jack Harlow to Give Video Deposition in Nightclub Murder Lawsuit Trial, See Kelly Clarkson Cover Joni Mitchell's 'A Case of You' With Only a Dulcimer Accompanying Her, Christina Aguilera Reflects on Growing Up in an Abusive Household: 'Trauma Never Leaves You', Hear Springsteen Faves Suicide 'F-ck Up' 'Born in the U.S.A.'

I'd hear the man's voice and try to picture what he looked like. I went backstage, and we hooked up. It is an inexplicable, awesome thing, and I bow down to it. I'd heard he was mean. Shirley was more sentimental and street. Hardcore was very rigid. Genius, maybe? And I hope he breaks into another grin from ear to ear as he feels "that's why I'm here.". You can think that it's all been written, but it hasn't.

As he said this, strands, splodges and blots from a Pollock early-Fifties "drip" painting materialized in front of our faces. We had never met or really spoken, so I was a little intimidated. So whenever I had to do a solo, I would just play that. Thanks to a great arrangement by Stan Applebaum, the song showed us how rock & roll and strings could really work together. He stood there, not moving a muscle, while he issued the most savage assault you had ever experienced, unless you were at the debut of Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" and your seat was in front of the cannon. Their music is forever. But it never does. Most bands improvised solos each time they performed or recorded. The combination of Levi, Obie Benson, Duke Fakir and Lawrence Payton was truly awesome. I was on holiday with my parents in the late Sixties when I heard "I Wish It Would Rain." I'll go on record as saying they're the greatest rock & roll band of all time. And they weren't. In the early years of Phish, people often said we were like "Frank Zappa meets the Grateful Dead" which sounds very bizarre. I stood outside. He produced a terrific debut album called Pretty Hate Machine. When I was a teenager, it was a career aim for many of my friends to have a song written about them by Elvis Costello. Dickey was remarkable in his own right. We had an old battery-powered radio, and we'd listen to this half-hour program that came on at night. Iggy believed what he was doing was important this self-reliant, anti-establishment art form.

They put rock with rap like we did, but it made so much sense when they did it because they were punk rockers. Scott Dudelson/WireImage. All of us are lucky to have heard songs as good as "Message in a Bottle," "Walking on the Moon" and "King of Pain" on the radio. A million people can program beats, but can they put together an entire album like it's a movie? The Allman Brothers Band was a true brotherhood of players one that went beyond race and ego. The songs are great. It was raining. Along with the Beatles, they gave those of us entering the business at that time something to aspire to that wasn't pop but was still popular. What else was there? When I got home from holiday, I immediately bought Wish It Would Rain. Admit it, you've gotten "Uptown Funk" stuck in your head in the time it took to read this. Then Green came around, and suddenly this band was on a major label, playing arenas, and every human in America with two ears and access to radio was being demanded to "Stand." That was him telling the world, "This is who I am." Any hard-rock band that ever tried to write a crazy twelve-minute operetta owes them a debt. But I think "perfect" is the best review. At that time I was very much into folk music and turning the corner into R&B, and I'll never forget seeing that cover, with all the Tempts dressed as Foreign Legionnaires, sitting in the desert. You try to play this stuff and you'll see they had chops. Tupac was like a camera.

Freddie's songs are just so much fun to sing, and he had such stamina. It is clear that the gift he gave lives on in that band's music. But those of us who love those records and a lot of us are musicians have loved them for decades. I think he was just getting into his stride when he died. The combination sounded so powerful. The next year, I was meeting all of the great blues musicians: Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf. I didn't really expect the reaction I got, which was, "No, I won't.

In a way, that upheaval may be part of the reason they recorded so many immortal songs over such a long period. The following year brought Document, and that landed them a video on MTV, even. Tina has the ability to dream, get out, get over and get on with it. Carl was that good. Two other acts entered nine-figure territory this year: British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran (No. At a certain point in the Sixties, things got tough for Carl he had a drinking problem, which he eventually overcame and he went back into the lead-guitar business. When they came to Motown and teamed up with Holland-Dozier-Holland, there was no looking back. "Knee Deep" was their coming-out music. They poured their lifeblood into that groove, and they mastered it. Jerry is still one of the few guitarists where as soon as you hear him, you know instantly who it is. I remember one time, Booker accidentally had two dates booked at the same time, so he took some other band and went somewhere in Kansas, and I went with the MGs to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where I had to go pose as Booker T. Halfway through, some guy yells out, "Hey, man, that guy ain't no Booker T.! In those days, musically, Clapton was a total wild man. But they must have liked us a lot, because they put us on the bill anyway, and I've known them ever since. But what makes an artist one of the most influential musicians of the decade? Where it comes from, I don't know. When we played the Reading and Leeds festivals, we had to follow Slayer, and got bottles of piss thrown at us. They played traditional blues mixed with their own unique brand of rock & roll, and there was nothing but strength in that group. When we started to do the song and Eminem made his entrance, I got goose bumps, the likes of which I have not felt since I first saw Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. At the same time, Mick was listening to what Gram was doing. Think about how on old N.W.A records the beat would change four or five times in a single song. rolling stone 50 years of covers a history of the most. Nobody moved like the Tempts. Sometimes you think, "How can you top anything by the Yardbirds, or Zeppelin, or the Stones?" When I first heard him, I was blown away that someone could just spit those words out without even hitting the right notes, with no holding back and no shame. People are born to do certain things, and Al was born to make us smile. He seemed destined for such greatness, and yet his life ended up playing itself out like some cheap B-grade film noir. he took that country-picking thing into the rock world. By that standard, the Police were a huge success. I learned something incredible: Everything always has to be about the show. Clinton was a great marketer, in the best sense possible: He delivered what he promised. It's a beautiful piece of music played by an awesome rocker of a young man who was a masterpiece of a human being. Ray wrote songs about the things that were important to him. MCA was always the mature one, but he could be a fool when it was time to be a fool. The Stooges' sound was so evocative yet so simple. What she writes is closer to journalism: On Blue, you hear everything she experienced, the highs and the lows. Do hip-hop producers hold Dr. Dre in high esteem? I'm all over the map emotionally and spiritually, like most people are, so different Talking Heads records speak to me at different times, but with Remain in Light and Fear of Music, the grit of modern living is there. Add to that Ozzy's amazing voice and one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, Tony Iommi, and it's an unstoppable force. When she asked, "Where did our love go?" We went to their manager's hotel room, and while he was in the bathroom we ordered $1,500 worth of room service and trashed the place. That warmth and wit came through in his music. It hits you in waves: driving rhythms with brass and strings countered by down-in-the-alley funk. It's just an amazing thing that no one's been able to live up to. All the compelling themes are on Black Sabbath's records: beauty, atrocity, the seven deadly sins. Because of stuff like Pro Tools, they figure they can fix it all in the studio. I just thought, "Fuck, this man is amazing." He's approachable, affectionate and funny.

After I released my first solo album, I was doing a TV special in Memphis, and I called him and asked if he'd grace us with his presence. That combination just ripped my head off. If they didn't have the intelligence to see his intelligence, that was their problem. I had a strange dream a few years back. I first saw them play in 1979 at Madison Square Garden, before their singer Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson. I was in such awe. Every time you listen to them you hear something new. I don't know if massive stardom and selling a zillion records were on their minds when they were getting the ball rolling. I had this picture of a gorgeous vista when it's really a kind of grimy area. He takes artists with great potential and makes them even better. As a songwriter, Gram worked very much like I do, which is to knock out a couple of chords, start to spiel and see how far it can go, rather than sitting around with a piece of paper and a pen, trying to make things fit neatly together. I identified with Joe Perry's image, both soundwise and visually. If Talking Heads were around a cool idea, they would make it their own. You can hear how good he is at both on Eric Clapton, the album he made with them, as well as his change in tone from Gibson-dirty to Stratocaster-clean. In addition, they could rap, they could sing and they could play instruments. Throughout the Sixties and Seventies, the Tempts had an unprecedented string of hits: "My Girl," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Just My Imagination." The second is the type who serves the artist; I would be so brash as to include myself in that category, along with John Hammond, Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun, and Bob Thiele music fans who try to develop great singers. However inscrutable Michael Stipe's lyrics were, they always gave language to this weird, agonizing metamorphosis taking place in my head. But when Doris took her award in hand, she said, "This is dedicated to the one I love," and then they just started singing it. My mind was being blown by this beautiful violence that was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. This was back when a band was a band. There's just no escaping them. One of the fundamental ways a decade defines itself is through its music (and of course, the talented artists behind it all), and the 2010s generated some of the most impactful and culture-shifting artists of the past hundred years. Duck was a great bass player, and very funny one of them good old Southern beer-drinking boys. went to England in 1985, I drove through Muswell Hill and it certainly wasn't romantic-looking. Al Green's voice will always remind me of driving the back roads of Memphis with my parents, listening to cassette tapes. Oscar Wilde said that an artist has succeeded if people don't understand his work but they still like it. Every instrument had its role to play, and it was all prefigured. And Queen were always trying something new; none of their hit songs were paint-by-numbers. Yet for all their fantastic records, the Drifters had the least stable lineup of any of the great vocal groups. Then the Byrds came through London again, on their way to South Africa. He's a pioneer of Latin rock & roll: His music was something new, but it was intertwined with everything else that was out there at the time Sixties rock, Latin jazz and more. In Jane's Addiction, we were into a groove that was very repetitive, riff-oriented and hypnotic similar in a lot of ways to a song like "War Pigs," off of Paranoid (my favorite Sabbath album). My favorite Tupac album is The Don Killuminati. His music is impeccable. His guitar has a very distinctive sound it's like a fingerprint. It sounds like a clich now, that rock music was born out of cornfields and honky- tonks, but with Carl it was all true. There are three kinds of record producers. Around the same time, Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett were encouraging him to write and sing. Santana has a really good message to send to the human spirit. Middle school was brutal for me, and I clung to my music like a life raft. I had heard that they hadn't seen each other in quite a while, so there was some apprehension when the three of them took the stage. We're missing out on something!". The drugs and drinking he was no better or worse than the rest of us. I've got pretty much every note the Kinks recorded on my iPod certainly everything through 1980. But Clapton's guitar playing is still terrific. It was a thing of beauty. I've always held on to the same dreams as Freddie. Scott Dudelson/WireImage. They defined the best of every music from the American South in that time. To me, it has always been paramount in singing. They're never going to tell me, "Play it more like Jerry" or "less like Jerry." It was warm and round and full and dripping with chocolate. There's so little adornment. They have a phase one, a phase two, maybe even a phase three and four. Talking Heads was the first band I remember telling my punk friends about, saying, "Yo, check this out! And Ad-Rock is just full of life. Basically, we hung around together, like musicians do. We loved what they did with the song. Every time I buy a Radiohead album, I have a moment where I say to myself, "Maybe this is the one that will suck." Eminem lives, sleeps and breathes music he's a bit like me in that respect. Everything about her her mannerisms, her look, her aura exuded stardom. When R.E.M. As a companion piece to Baudelaire's "To the Reader" the preface to his Flowers of Evil and second to the Velvet Underground, there has never been better soul-lashing in rock. They did things with harmonics minor thirds and fifths that created this ethereal, monstrous sound. Their outfits were wonderful I blame them for teaching me to wear loud colors. For Dark Side of the Moon to be playing in the background during that time was perfect. When Paul's Boutique came out, it didn't sell as well as their debut.
