The best classic rock songs are usually the result of very good writing. However, some of the biggest rock songs of the last half-century or so didn\u2019t require much in the way of time to write. In fact, the following four classic rock songs took less than an hour to actually complete. That\u2019s impressive, to say the least. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n
\u201c40\u201d by U2<\/p>\n
\u201c40\u201d by U2 was released in 1983 and quickly became a staple for the Irish rock band\u2019s live sets. And, apparently, it took only about 10 minutes to write, as well as 10 minutes to record, according to Bono.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we were making our third record, the \u2018War\u2019 LP, we were being thrown out of the studio by the studio manager because we had overrun or something and we had one more song to do,\u201d said Bono<\/a>. \u201cWe wrote this song in about ten minutes, we recorded it in about ten minutes, we mixed it in about ten minutes and we played it, then, for another ten minutes and that\u2019s nothing to do with why it\u2019s called \u201840\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRock And Roll\u201d by Led Zeppelin<\/p>\n
