Joe Satriani, Surfing with the Alien Remastered U2, Achtung Baby U2, The Joshua Tree Remastered U2 was the sound track to my life and both the Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby were hugely pivotal in the U2's career and in my life. Surfing With The Alien showed me the possibilities as a guitarist to release instrumental music commercially. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
