The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes & Backsides (1968-71)

Lee Hazlewood ·2012

"Lee Hazlewood, 'The LHI Years.' He's really, really amazing. I remember the first time I heard 'Requiem for an Almost Lady,' which a lot of that record is on here. I felt like I knew every word to every song after hearing it once."

Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams ·2014

"This record is absolutely incredible. 'Gimme Something Good' is earth-shattering."

Nattens Madrigal

Ulver ·1996

"It's Ulver, 'Nattens Madrigal.' They said it was recorded in the woods but that's not true. But I like this more than that."

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things ·1968

"It is one of the best psychedelic records ever made, in my opinion. Listening to this record and just getting stoned is the coolest thing that ever happened."

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac ·1977

"Fleetwood Mac, 'Rumors.' I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac. For some reason we had this Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits CD that just played in the house every day. This record Ben and I actually listened to a lot together because he is also obsessed with Fleetwood Mac."

Horses

Patti Smith ·1975

"This record's insane. This was our walk-on song. The opening, you know, to 'Horses,' the spiel about Johnny and the locker and all that. It's very powerful."

Celebration Rock

Japandroids ·2012

"Japandroids, 'Celebration Rock.' This is a band from Canada and I actually saw them at a small rock venue in Boston called Great Scott. And I did not know who they were, and their lighting was just so epic and their hair was blowing in the wind. They had these fans going. It was just two people and it sounded like five people. It was absolutely mind-blowing and I just stood there in awe the whole time."

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem ·2007

"It's hard to really say enough about this band. They make me feel like I'm 18 again and going out to party, but also that I'm too old to be doing it."
