Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
The Best of Traffic
Traffic ·1969
"There's a song on what's the best of Traffic, 'Dear Mr. Fantasy,' and I think it's just a really cool song with Stevie Winwood singing lead on it. This album also has 'Paper Sun' on it, which is also another... all the songs on this are primo."

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane ·1965
"John Coltrane is kind of, you know, the master in a certain sense. And A Love Supreme is a great album. The one piece called A Love Supreme is this kind of repetitive thing where this phrase 'I love supreme' is repeated over and over."

Philip Glass: Piano Works
Víkingur Ólafsson ·2017
"He's done tons and tons of operas and they're super modern. This is one of his piano works where it's him composing for piano and it shows kind of... it's a really amazing recording as well. It's kind of more a bit different than what you may normally associate with Philip Glass recordings."

A Quick One
The Who ·1966
"When we were growing up, we were just massive fans of The Who. We wanted to be The Who, actually, but we couldn't... This is one of the ones that we loved really early on, A Quick One, and it has maybe one of the first times that someone could say they were doing a rock opera in a certain sort of way."

The Kick Inside
Kate Bush ·1978
"This is the album The Kick Inside. I like 'The Man with a Child in His Eyes.' Oh, and I especially love 'Wuthering Heights,' talk about unique songs that kind of seem like they landed from outer space."
