I have Bobby Jean in my project more for what it holds on a sentimental level now. I still like to hear it on occasion, but my fondness for it isn’t what it once was. Bruce was easily the most…

Dizzy Miss Lizzy (1965) – The Beatles
There are few rousing rockers where I’ve heard John Lennon sound so unleashed. On Dizzy Miss Lizzy, he taps back into early rock ’n’ roll and really flexes his vocal muscles, almost shredding them in the process. So raw, man.…

The most adorable voice I’ve heard in country music is back once again with a beautiful ballad called Dimming of the Day. The song was written by the English singer-songwriter Richard Thompson and first recorded with his then-wife Linda Thompson…

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) – The Byrds
I don’t know what’s worse to look at – Roger McGuinn’s glasses or The Byrds’ haircuts. Put both on the same album cover and you’ve got yourself a real treat. Arghhh. Don’t mind me – I’m just in a silly…

Tupelo (1985) – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
This early Nick Cave song shows him deep in his gothic, post-punk phase. His music often leans into dark and sinister themes, and that’s very clear here in this gloomily pulsating and penetrating track. It’s one of the first songs…
Tunnel of Love (1980) – Dire Straits
Not only is Tunnel of Love my desert island Dire Straits song, it’s my ultimate rock song. If I had to choose just one track to show an extraterrestrial species what humans have achieved in rock ’n’ roll, this would…
Tuesday’s Gone (1973) – Lynyrd Skynyrd
This is about as quintessential Southern Rock as it gets. In many ways, Lynyrd Skynyrd helped define and popularise the genre. In the mid-1990s, there was this girl Diane who was living in the beautiful seaside town of Mornington on…
