The Best of Édith Piaf

Édith Piaf ·2008

"I wanted to pick an Édith Piaf record... I think she changed my view on singing... she has such incredible technique but she's bringing her entire heart and soul and everything in between into the song and that's what makes her so amazing to listen to."

Diorama

Silverchair ·2002

"I'm a big Silverchair fan. I think this record has some of the most beautiful melodies ever written. This was so ambitious and like they were 22 and they just kind of did something pretty epic."

Infamous Angel

Iris DeMent ·1992

"I picked Iris DeMent's Infamous Angel for Infamous Angel. She's just one of my favorite songwriters of all time... her song 'Our Town' is like a classic, a modern classic."

Amateurs

Laura Jean ·2022

"Amateurs made this album is incredible. I think it's one of the greatest albums of our time and I wish more people listened to it. Laura Jean makes me want to be a better songwriter every day."

Suspiria (40th Anniversary) [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

Goblin ·2017

"This record was very inspirational to my last album, which you won't hear, but more spiritually. I think I'm trying to work hard to make less pretty music... it's not pleasing, it sounds scary."

Adventures in Afropea 1: Zap Mama

Zap Mama ·1993

"I grew up listening to this record with my dad. It just has some of the most interesting song structures and the most beautiful harmonies. It's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard."

The Navigator

Hurray for the Riff Raff ·2017

"I picked Hurray for the Riff Raff's record The Navigator in particular. I love all their records... I think Alinda is just like an incredible songwriter. This record is great."

Blackout

Britney Spears ·2007

"I love this record I listen to it regularly I've always been a Britney fan I always will be... I think everybody can agree that 'Break the Ice' is one of the greatest pop songs of the last 20 years... I think it's just really tasteful and it's really interesting production."

Post

Björk ·1995

"I think there's people who are like her who make really interesting weird crazy music and I think they're so cool... her music just always makes me feel so excited about being alive."

Harvest

Neil Young ·1972

"I wanted the whole album just to sound like 'Out on the Weekend,' but I felt really stupid about that because I thought, oh, you're a folk country songwriter and you want your music to sound like Neil Young, it's like yeah cool, so does everyone."
