“I was a fan from their first album on – I think I bought The Clash in 1977. I knew they were a special band. There was a local punk rock bar, Genna’s, that played White Riot and Police and Thieves all the time. “London Calling is truly the Clash’s masterpiece. I think I’ve probably played it 1,000 times over the last 35 years. I just never get tir...
“Back in Madison, Wisconsin, I was president of the Roxy Music Fan Club. There were only seven members, but I was voted president because I was completely obsessed with the band. “Country Life is a brilliant record. Out of the Blue is the first song I heard from the album. It got played on the radio, and it made me go out immediately and buy the re...
“I consider this to be one of the greatest rock guitar records ever. It doesn’t sound like Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix. It’s as if you stuck your finger in a wall socket and you got a jolt from this jarring, fractured, punky guitar playing. It’s just so unusual and interesting sounding – it kind of takes you by surprise at first. “I love the produ...
“It’s the album that started and ended punk rock, the definitive word. Two, two-and-a-half minute pop songs with shout-along choruses, dead-simple production and guitar playing. Nothing more was needed. “I don’t think there’s any punk band before or since that will equal the Ramones. For me and a lot of fans, this is the album that kicked the whole...
“It’s my favourite U2 record. I’ve always loved the band, but I think this record is groundbreaking in the way that they completely transformed their sound. Not many bands can do that sort of thing, and U2 pulled it off beautifully. “The band was starting to dabble in electronic dance music, industrial alternative rock, and there was even some funk...
“Classic rock! I’ve got to have a classic rock album on my list, and Who’s Nextis one of the best. By the way, I should mention that Keith Moon is the reason I took up drums. I saw the Who play on the Smothers Brothers show when I was about 10 years old. That did it for me. “Pete Townshend was really developing as a thematic songwriter here – this ...
“One of my favourites. I’ve always loved Neil Young. I could probably pick a lot of his records, but I chose Harvest because I think every song on it is gorgeous. I put this one right up there with Who’s Nextas one of the best classic rock albums ever made. “Out on the Weekend, Old Man, Are You Ready for the Country?, Harvest, The Needle and the Da...
“I love R.E.M. They’re the band that launched 1,000 college rock bands, and I myself probably listened to Murmur1,000 times. It’s one of the greatest albums of its era, and to me it defines who R.E.M. are as a band. “It’s so mysterious and dreamy. The lyrics are very elliptical and enigmatic, and all the songs are hooky but sort of strange sounding...
“I just have to put this album on the list because I love it so much. My wife and I still listen to it when we’re riding in the car. Every track on the record is great, and I think Karl Wallinger is a beautiful singer. “The record is like an ode to all of Karl’s influences – the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Sly & the Family Stone – but h...
