Queen - Queen II (1974)
“Queenwas the first rock band that I was crazy, crazy about. That was before the punk movement. It was the most amazing music ever. I listened to that on repeat. That kind of shaped a lot of my ideas about melody.”
Roxy Music - Siren (1975)
“That was an album I heard at art class and introduced me to a whole new genre of music. I discovered Iggy Pop and the rest is history.”
