Mick wanted to continue down the pub blues path, lots of solos for Mick, and that wasn’t going to work. Ian came into his own as a songwriter, they fought, Mick left, the world’s greatest journeyman guitarist Martin Barre came in and last I knew was still on the road. Ian’s given up touring. I think Mick has retired from the family trucking business.
Worse songs than “We Built This City”? At some point, it’s hard to rank best or worst, or even to come up with a fixed list of top or bottom 10 or 100. Here’s some which would make my bottom lists:
Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride
Shayne Ward - What About Me?
Patty Smyth - The Warrior
