Hedwig and the Angry Inch: Original Cast Recording, John Cameron Mitchell, Stephen Trask
I listen to this album pretty much after every show. I’ve seen the musical four times, and it makes me cry every time. John Cameron Mitchell has become a good friend, too!

The Human Atom Bombs, Randy
I don’t know why, but this album makes me so happy. Wait, I do know why… The production, the lyrics, the harmonies, and the total lack of professionalism. This record has been a huge influence on my songwriting, and I never get sick of it.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, David Bowie
For the most part, I don’t like the music. I don’t like a lot of Bowie stuff. But this album is in my opinion a perfect album. I only have maybe five albums I consider perfect, and this is my favorite one. Changes is pretty sweet too, but Ziggy just rules!

Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack, Various Artists
The first cassette I ever owned, but I didn’t buy it. When I was eight years old, I had the Z Channel on my TV. They would play Rocky Horror after 10:00 p.m. So, I took my cassette recorder and recorded it from the TV. I listened to it for years, and I still listen to it all the time.

12 Song Program, Tony Sly
Tony was probably the best songwriter on Fat Wreck Chords, and this is my favorite album he wrote. I’ve listened to it over 100 times. Since he died, I don’t listen to it very much because it makes me too sad. But it is a record I cannot live without.
