Some of the best songs that artists perform year after year are ones they hated.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My favorite songs change every year.
I hate artists who are not of their time.
I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we'd go for another two or three months and there weren't great songs.
I would rather put out two year-defining songs a year than flood the market with eight or nine songs.
Popular music sucks so bad right now.
I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible.
Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.
You might have a favorite band and really dislike one of the records. That's fine.
With great artists like Elvis, sometimes the songs weren't the greatest thing about him. When I tried to perform some of the songs, I noticed some of the tunes weren't all that brilliant, but it was the performance that sold them.
Never hate a song that's sold a half million copies.
