"Silverchair, like an Australian grunge band from the '90s. One of the first albums I ever bought. Might be responsible for like me wanting to be in a rock band at all. Was obsessed with Silverchair. Absolutely flogged this album."Watch this moment

"Any tame fan that's listened to me waffle a lot about music before has probably heard me talk about A Wizard, a True Star. We brought this album home from Japan, like a tour in Japan once and it blew all our minds. It really switched us on to like crazy psychedelic '70s pop."Watch this moment
"I actually don't know what people think about this album, but this was like kind of a soundtrack to my late high school. It got my heart broken to this album. So now I listen to it, I'm like, you know, but it's a beautiful, beautiful album."Watch this moment
"Orbital, the Brown album. I don't know all the songs of this album, but I've always loved Orbital. They're sort of like one of those, like the benchmark of '90s trippy experimental house music."Watch this moment
"Deftones, White Pony. Um, also kind of a soundtrack to my... I had been into a lot of new metal and stuff from like when I was a kid. Deftones was the one that like carried through into like teenage years and stuff. It's another album I listen to now and I'm like it almost hurts to listen to it. Just takes me right back there to being such a fragile human."Watch this moment
"Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age. Again, very nostalgic, very important album for my musical upbringing. Thrashed this album. Thrashed the hell out of it in my car. Just full volume driving around my hometown. These songs made me feel like I was on drugs before I even took drugs."Watch this moment
