In a recent interview with The Times, legendary musician Rod Stewart shared his thoughts on contemporary musicians who will leave a lasting impact on the industry. Although Stewart believes that there are still artists producing timeless songs today, he expressed doubts about Ed Sheeran's ability to withstand the test of time.
When asked if musicians are creating songs that will resonate for decades, Stewart confidently mentioned his own hit from 1971, 'Maggie May,' as an example. However, he struggled to recall the name of another talented musician and stumbled upon Sheeran's name, only to dismiss him as 'old ginger bollocks' without acknowledging any of his songs. It's worth noting that Stewart did eventually recall George Ezra's track 'Shotgun' and expressed admiration for his songwriting skills, suggesting that Ezra will have a significant musical impact for years to come.
