The Beatles are the most successful and influential band of all time‚ with an estimated amount of more than 600 million records sold worldwide. Paul McCartney was a crucial part of their success since he was the main songwriter alongside John Lennon. With the help of George Harrison and Ringo Starr they recorded huge hits that changed the course of music in the 60s. Although for millions of people worldwide The Beatles were the ones who wrote the best songs of all time‚ McCartney once listed a song from an American band as the greatest one. The song that Paul McCartney said is the best of all time One of the bands who influenced The Beatles back in the 60s were The Beach Boys‚ which had Brian Wilson as their main songwriter. McCartney is a huge fan of the music they made during that decade and he said in an interview with David Leaf in 1990 that "God Only Knows" was the best song of all time. After the interviewer noted that the Beatle was quoted  as saying that the track was the greatest song ever written‚ he said: “It’s a really‚ really great song‚ it’s a big favorite of mine. I was asked recently to give my top ten favorite songs for a Japanese radio station." "I didn’t think long and hard on it. But I popped that (“God Only Knows”) on the top of my list. (Thinks for a moment) It’s very deep. (Quotes the lyrics to 'God Only Knows'). Very emotional‚ always a bit of a choker for me‚ that one. There are certain songs that just hit home with me‚ and they’re the strangest collection of songs. But that is high on the list‚ I must say‚” Paul McCartney said. "God Only Knows" was written by Brian Wilson and the songwriter Tony Asher. It was first featured on the band's groundbreaking album "Pet Sounds" released in 1966. McCartney told B&;N CEO James Daunt in 2022‚ that he wished he had written that track. But he also said "I've written enough‚ I've got enough to go on with". He had the chance to perform the song live with Brian Wilson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5UqaBfolcc McCartney had the chance to perform that track live Brian Wilson back in 2002. He recalled that amazing experience in an interview with guitarist Ronnie Wood in 2013 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). “I got to sing it with Brian once‚ when we did a benefit (show) together." "I was okay at the actual performance‚ I held it together. But at the rehearsal‚ at the soundcheck I lost it‚ because it’s very emotional‚ this song‚ I find it. (I was thinking) ‘Oh my god‚ i’m singing with Brian’‚ just got me‚ I couldn’t. And all it is‚ it’s little vibrations reaching your music‚ it’s only little vibrations‚ little words and little things. There is this powerful effect‚ you know‚” McCartney said. Two years earlier the Beatle had been the one who inducted Wilson into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. During his speech‚ the British musician said that Brian wrote particularly in the 60s‚ music that always made him cry and he really doesn't know the reason why. “Wasn’t necessarily the words of the music‚ it’s just something so deep in it. But there’s only certain pieces of music that can do this to me. Just reach it right down in me. I think it’s a sign of a great genius‚ to be able to do that with a bunch of words and a bunch of notes‚” Paul McCartney said. The curious thing is that The Beatles 1965 album "Rubber Soul" was a huge inspiration for Brian Wilson. Then The Beach Boys released "Pet Sounds" (1966)‚ which was a huge influence for the British band‚ inspiring them to write "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967). It was a healthy rivalry that gave the music fans some of the best albums of all time. The post The song that Paul McCartney said is the best of all time appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Like anything in life‚ Rock and Roll evolved over the decades but there are many people who believe it really lost it's substance because it really doesn't have the feel it had before and there are not many famous bands from the music genre. There are many theories about why Rock it's not what it used to be anymore and Bob Dylan once mentioned what in his opinion is missing in current Rock and Roll bands. He said that during his speech at MusiCares‚ in 2015‚ when he was elected Person of The Year. The problem of modern Rock bands according to Bob Dylan "Traditional rock ‘n’ roll‚ we’re talking about that. It’s all about rhythm. Johnny Cash said it best: 'Get rhythm. Get rhythm when you get the blues.' Very few rock ‘n’ roll bands today play with rhythm. They don’t know what it is. Rock ‘n’ roll is a combination of blues‚ and it’s a strange thing made up of two parts. A lot of people don’t know this‚ but the blues‚ which is an American music‚ is not what you think it is. It’s a combination of Arabic violins and Strauss waltzes working it out. But it’s true." "The other half of rock ‘n’ roll has got to be hillbilly. And that’s a derogatory term‚ but it ought not to be. That’s a term that includes the Delmore Bros.‚ Stanley Bros.‚ Roscoe Holcomb‚ Clarence Ashley ... groups like that. Moonshiners gone berserk. Fast cars on dirt roads. That’s the kind of combination that makes up rock ‘n’ roll‚ and it can’t be cooked up in a science laboratory or a studio." He continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVjToYOjbM&;pp=ygUidHJhdmVsaW5nIHdpbGJ1cnlzIGVuZCBvZiB0aGUgbGluZQ%3D%3D "You have to have the right kind of rhythm to play this kind of music. If you can’t hardly play the blues‚ how do you (inaudible) those other two kinds of music in there? You can fake it‚ but you can’t really do it‚" Bob Dylan said. He is one of the most prolific and successful songwriters of all time‚ having written more than 600 songs. Besides the millions of records he sold‚ Dylan is also one of the most covered artists of all time. Many of those new versions made by other artists became huge hits‚ so his impact in the history of music is certainly incalculable. He released 40 studio albums‚ the most recent one being "Rough and Rowdy Ways"‚ released in 2020.The post The problem of modern Rock bands according to Bob Dylan appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

It doesn't matter who you are and what you do‚ there will always be someone to criticize your work‚ that's just how people are. When it comes to music that is even a bigger thing to deal with‚ since in the end it is all a matter of taste‚ which is really a subjective thing. So if you are a musician‚ there will be a lot of people that might like or hate you. That happened with Phil Collins and Genesis‚ who were criticized not only by many music fans but also by music critics. The singer and drummer had some difficulty dealing with those critics back then and really got mad when they described things that really didn't happen at their concerts. Once a music critic listed songs Collins didn't play and mentioned people who didn't play that night‚ so that made Collins phone him up and confront him. The story of when Phil Collins confronted a Genesis critic He recalled that in an interview with Radio back in 2016‚ noting that it was important to do that because he was giving people the wrong information about what happened that night. Because the people who were there in the concert knew he was mentioning things that didn't happen but the other thousands of people who were reading the newspaper would get the wrong idea with what was reported. "I’m much better nowadays. I used to phone people up. Or write a letter. I wrote a letter to a guy that did a really scathing article on me in San Francisco. And in Indianapolis‚ I remember we did a Genesis show. Just before we left town the paper was put under my door. I read it‚ and I saw the review. It listed songs that we didn’t play‚ and it listed people in the band that weren’t there." "And I rang the guy up. And I said‚ 'Can I speak to so-and-so?' I said‚ 'It’s Phil Collins‚' and he said‚ 'What‚ really? The Phil Collins?' I said‚ 'Yeah‚ listen. I just read your review. You’re not very good at this‚ are you?' And I laid into him‚ ’cause 15‚000 people were there‚ but 250‚000 people that buy the newspaper weren’t there." He continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mCeEGNbM-U&;pp=ygUQbWlzdW5kZXJzdGFuZGluZw%3D%3D "They think (the show was) crap. 'Oh‚ good thing we saved our money‚ ’cause the gig was crap.' And that’s what I always think. It’s not like it’s ever gotten to me personally‚ it’s just sending out a message that this was rubbish. And so I kinda used to get much more bothered about it. Now I know... I know what’s gonna happen; I know what they’re gonna say. So I don’t get surprised by it anymore‚" Phil Collins said. He is one of the few artists who were able to sell more than 100 million records worldwide both as a member of a band (Genesis) and as a solo act. Only Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson also were able to do such a thing. Collins joined Genesis in 1970 and in 1975 after Peter Gabriel decided to leave he also became the band's vocalist. In the following years the group changed their sound and made it more commercial. Something that was crucial to make them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Collins also started his successful solo career in 1981 with the release of the debut album "Face Value" (1981). He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. However‚ he still wasn't inducted as a solo artist.The post The story of when Phil Collins confronted a Genesis critic appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
