Communique
Dire Straits ·1979
"Dire Straits Communique, an album I actually have not heard of, but I know the song on this album 'Lady Writer,' which is a pretty sexist song. Here's the thing, I like Dire Straits, it's fine. It's a good song though, his guitar playing, I like his vocals."

Inflammable Material
Stiff Little Fingers ·1979
"Stiff Little Fingers, Inflammable Material, this was an album that I first discovered in high school when I was first getting into punk music... what I loved about Stiff Little Fingers is that they are just so married to place, they're so uniquely Irish and singing about the Irish experience through this punk vernacular."

Let It Be
The Replacements ·1984
"Tim was the one that really just like got inside me and like sort of has been living in my heart ever since. Paul Westerberg is still one of my favorite lyricists, one of my favorite rock singers. I just think this is such a special, special album."
