‘I Love Rock ‘N Roll’ – Joan Jett And The Blackhearts
Jett sent her demo for “I Love Rock ‘N Roll’ to 23 record labels, just for all to reject it. Following her time with the Runaways, this was her first attempt at launching a solo career. Eventually it was finally taken on board by Tiny Boardwalk Records, though she had to pay $2500 to obtain the radio rights for the song. As of today, the song is worth $20 million; money well spent.

Coldplay was in a hurry to complete their second album and sought to save “Clocks,” which features a churning piano riff influenced by Muse, for a later release. Fortunately, a friend stepped in to save the day. “He said, ‘You’re talking about the urgency in the lyrics, and you’re talking about holding this song back,'” Chris Martin explained. ” ‘That’s incomprehensible.’
