"I got Alice Coltrane's 'A Monastic Trio.' That's John Coltrane's wife. She's incredible and maybe, I guess overlooked, because the shadow of her husband is so large, but she put out some amazing and very emotive records in her career, and this is one of them."Watch this moment
"My first choice is a group called Coil and this is their album Love's Secret Domain which means LSD basically. Back then when I was putting a little piece of paper on my tongue and going on an adventure, this was one of my favorite albums to listen to because I feel like obviously it's tailor-made for the experience. When I put this thing on, it immediately transports me to another universe. And it's an amazing album."Watch this moment
"When I was a kid, I think this is the first Rush album that I got. And this whole album is worth it just for the song Xanadu, which is 11 minutes and 6 seconds long. It's quite an adventurous piece of music and I immediately gravitated towards that and learned it on guitar."Watch this moment
"This is one of my favorite groups, the Cocteau Twins, and this is my favorite album by far by them called Victorialand. It's very kind of mellow and somber for them. And I just remember kind of maybe '93 or so I discovered it in the winter in Rochester, New York. And it was the stark winter conditions matched the vibe of this record perfectly. It's really, really beautiful."Watch this moment
"First album that I bought with my own allowance money from mowing the grass was Made It Work Business as Usual. Still in heavy rotation at my house to this day, at least digitally. Still one of my favorites."Watch this moment
"407s: This is a Jeff Buckley album. A lot of people really like Grace, but this is the one for me that's like my favorite. After he passed away, they got a hold of stuff he was working on. You know, it wasn't a finished record. I think the first few songs are like they sound close to being done, but as it moves on, it's got just a whole bunch of really beautiful songs and I just absolutely love this."Watch this moment
"The Cramps were one of those bands that took me on a different journey, different path than like my normie friends, I guess, who were listening to Van Halen... This is kind of like rockabilly surf music, but super evil. Like if Elvis was born in hell."Watch this moment
"Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons came out in 2000 when I had first moved to Atlanta and I went through a breakup and this was my breakup album. This and White Pony from the Deftones, but this one was like put it on and get sad."Watch this moment
"Second album, Pinkerton. Much much different, much darker. I'm a sucker for catchy choruses and yeah, like big sing along choruses and like pop pop pop rock. This was a darker darker album, but still poppy and sing alongable. That is a word. Great record."Watch this moment
