Female Muses
Apple Music
These songs, inspired by the love, admiration or loss of women, have made their muses' names as recognisable as their tunes. Rough crooners like Rod Stewart and Bruce Springsteen sing aching ballads dripping with worldly wisdom, pondering the mysteries of women. Classic '60s mod-rock from The Knack, Shocking Blue and The Kinks stands alongside dramatic pop serenades from The Police and Toto.
