These Songs Are Said To Be The Best To Ever Be Written

‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ – The Verve

This song was billed to Jagger–Richards since it included a sample from an orchestral rendition of the Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time.” However, the owner of the “Last Time” rights, Allen Klein, breached the arrangement and wanted 100% of the royalties. It was the best Stones song in 20 years, according to Ashcroft.

‘Tell It Like It Is’ – Aaron Neville

“When I heard ‘Tell It Like It Is,’ I thought to myself, ‘Bro, this is the shit right here,'” Art Neville explained. When Aaron wrote this magnificent ballad, he was working as a longshoreman. In an era of gritty R&B, he thought anything so lovely wouldn’t catch on. He noted, “A lot of people come up to me and say, ‘That song brought me and my wife together.'” “Others say, ‘It broke my wife and I up.'”
