5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:

 

1
Heaven Up Here, Echo & the Bunnymen

 


Ian McCulloch is the best post-punk British singer and this album is just filled with great songs. Will Sergeant’s guitar playing is also incredibly original.

2
So, Peter Gabriel

 

 

I love Peter Gabriel because of his voice and the overall soulfulness of his lyrics.

3
Live at Leeds, The Who

 

 

To me, these guys were THE original punk band. These versions of the songs are just on another level. They’re so muscular and intense.

4
The Suburbs, Arcade Fire

 

 

I think it’s their best record. The songwriting is incredible. Every track on the record is a just a great song. There is zero filler.

5
London Calling, The Clash

 


No exaggeration, I think it’s the best rock ‘n roll record ever made by the coolest band that ever existed.
