‘Blonde’ by Frank Ocean

It was super refreshing, so many layers of vocals and instrumentation. An intriguing record, that kinda just got me and made me feel excited to be an artist.

Favorite Album

Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie

This album reminds me of my second home, Canada (although they are a US band). I was brought up there for a few of my early years, returned over and over again. Then I went to Uni in Canada and met my wife, this is one of her favourite albums. We listened to it on repeat whilst we were first dating and it has stuck with me as a memory.

Who's Next by The Who

It’s difficult to pick one album from The Who but ‘Who’s Next’ does a great job of showcasing how dynamic and varied the band's sound is. I got gifted the record when I was younger and was hooked, in particular by Keith Moon, his charisma and playing style was one of the main reasons I started playing drums.

My Love is Cool by Wolf Alice

It's got great vocals, ranges from shoe gaze to big grundy riffs but mostly because it reminds me of driving around to gigs with the boys and blasting at full volume.

Favorite Album

Nonante-Cinq by Angèle

Nonante-Cinq is my favourite album because it feels real and relatable. Angèle writes all her own songs, and you can hear that in the lyrics (if you understand French), they’re thoughtful and also fun to sing along. Her voice is beautiful and easy to listen to, and it’s an album I can play anytime without ever getting bored.

"The Darker The Weather, The Better The Man" By MISSIO

The Album Introduce me to Missio and their amazing Music, its a mix of Indie, Rock, Pop, and sometimes they do EDM and instrumental. They cover every genre in a single album so there is always something I'm wanting to listen to depending on my mood.

Yeezus by Kanye West

When I began my music journey, this album was one of my first experiences and it quickly become a sound that resonated and influenced my style of production. Also it has so many hidden gems and shaped the next 10 years of Hip-Hop… I could talk about it for hours on end !

What I Also Do In Music: Independent Artist

Favorite Album

Collision Course EP – Linkin Park/Jay Z.

That’s like asking which child is my favourite…So I’m sort of avoiding the question and saying Collision Course EP – Linkin Park/Jay Z. Yes, technically it’s not an album but its 6 tracks of pure mash up gold. This album is a fuse of genres that were just meant to be joined in matrimony. I spent my moody teenage era listening to both Jay Z – The Black Album and Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory very loudly to drown the noise of adolescent expectation and when they released this EP I couldn’t get enough. It’s a timeless masterpiece of musical genius that will always sound as fresh as the first time I heard it.

Favorite Album

Rage Against The Machine (self-titled debut 1992)

This is the band that led me down this path. Everything about this record transcends music for me – its not just another album, but a revolutionary Molotov cocktail of defiant rap metal. I vividly remember the first time I saw the album artwork of the Vietnamese Monk committing self-immolation as protest and the shock I felt. The record empowers revolutionary ideas and self-sacrifice for the greater good. A blisteringly raw and hard-hitting political commentary that is still extremely relevant over 30 years later. I first saw them live at Reading Fest 2008 and I’ve never quite recovered. Zach De La Rocha is hands down the greatest frontman of all time.

Favorite Album

Wizard by Vickeblanka

It’s a masterclass in dynamic arrangement and genre fusion. Black Rover hits hard with its rhythmic shifts and intricate arrangement, yet it knows exactly when to pull back. The way it balances explosive energy with softer dynamics, rich chord progressions, and stripped-down sections makes for an incredible experience.

Favorite Album

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

Being a Northern Soul through and through I had to go with one of the classic Oasis albums as my favourite. "Definitely Maybe" is simply genius. The instrumentals at the time in the mid 90's sounded so unique and even now nearly 30 years on it still sounds so fresh and so Rock 'n' Roll. To follow Definitely Maybe with "What's The Story Morning Glory" the following year really cemented Oasis as true Rock 'n' Roll icons

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

This is one of the greatest albums of all time! Stunning vocals both singing and rapping, just incredible! This album is timeless and has had a lasting impact on the music industry and pop culture. It broke barriers for female artists in hip-hop and R&B, influencing a generation of musicians to this day!

Views by Drake

My favorite album is 100% Views by Drake. I think I really connected to the album at the time it was released, whilst I was living in Houston. Every single song on that album is timeless and versatile – It’s a perfect album for any mood, no matter what time of the year, Summer & Winter vibes! The album also made me fall in love with music production because the project’s samples, interludes, I loved how everything was produced it.

Smart Casual by Kids In Glass Houses.

I will never get sick of listening to this album. Some of the best guitar playing and tones I’ve heard! This record was the perfect blend of US and UK pop punk/emo. It’s just an enjoyable and fun listen from start to finish.

Favorite Album

Innerspeaker/Tame Impala

This is an album that I just keep coming back to no matter how much time has passed. What I love most about it is how immersive it is—the swirling guitars, reverb-heavy vocals, and psychedelic textures all blend together to create this dreamy, almost otherworldly atmosphere. It's nostalgic without being stuck in the past, like a modern take on '60s and '70s psych rock but with a fresh, introspective vibe.

A&R Executive

Favorite Album

De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

These multi-instrumentalists' unique blend of Latin, jazz fusion and experimental rock completely altered the way I thought about music. Their critically acclaimed ability to fuse multiple genres into a single song with mind-bending key and time signature changes has redefined prog rock in the 21st century.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

It was one of the first albums I bought that really got me hooked on music. I hadn’t ever heard anything like that before. It also spurred on my love for the City of Detroit.

Calum

Favorite Album

Junglesound Gold

Without a doubt the most timeless drum and bass album of all time. I have been listening to this album since I was about 15 and it has never gotten old. It features many of the greats that went on to become mainstream drum and bass artists in years to come. Truly some of the most timeless dance music out there.

James

Babylon by Bus by Bob Marley

He was the person that sparked my love of music and led me down so many other artists and genres. His music shaped cultures, politics and transcends time.

Favorite Album

Tame Impala – Currents

I’ve been a big Tame Impala fan from the start, but I think this album is where Kevin Parker really fine-tuned their unique sound. As a drummer, I admire just how dialed in and punchy the kits are and the heavy use of effects sound out of this world.

What I Also Do In Music: Founder of Cold Crew Coffee, drummer & DJ

Favorite Album

‘The Unforgettable Fire’ by U2

Just incredible. The guitar tones and production on this album are otherworldly and haunting. It has always stood out to me as a body of work that is truly unique – ranging from ambient instrumentals to frantic bursts of high energy post-punk.

Favorite Album

I from Golan

“I” is the kind of album that pulls me in from the first track and keeps me there until the very end. What I love is how every song has its own mood, and together they create a journey you can really feel. It’s experimental, full of little surprises and unique sounds, but still easy to connect with for anyone who loves music that’s different. For me, it shows that good music has no limits — it makes you feel, imagine, and discover something new every time you play it.

Favorite Album

Be by Common

This album played a foundational role in my love for hip-hop and was one of the first CDs I ever bought. Kanye's production on this is sick, and the record has aged really well.

Favorite Album

Deviant Records 1998

One of my all-time favorite tracks has to be “For An Angel” by Paul van Dyk. It came out on Deviant Records on August 24, 1998, and it’s one of those club classics that truly stands on its own. While it wasn’t necessarily an EP, the vinyl release included multiple mixes that made it even more special: the Club Mix, the E-Werk Remix, and the Terry Lee Brown Jr. Remix all brought different flavours to the table.

Haroon

A&R Executive

Favorite Album

THE LAST WUN - GUNNA

Easily one of my favourite artists! From the beat selection to the chill, laid back and effortless flows, Gunna has it all. Every song has a reason its released and I honestly cant think of a bad song from him. From recently coming out of jail and met with big accusations within his community, he rose above and has consistently dropped music thats special. Main stream US trap music has had me in a serious choke hold recently and I don't think this will change anytime soon!

Favorite Album

Confessions – Usher (2004)

For me, Usher’s Confessions is one of the greatest R&B albums of all time. The songwriting, vocal delivery, and honesty in the storytelling make it timeless. It blended contemporary R&B with pop and hip-hop influences in a way that shaped the sound of the mid-2000s. It’s a record that connected deeply with fans worldwide and still inspires today’s artists, proof that great music is both vulnerable and universal.

Favorite Album

Aim and Ignite by Fun.

I love this album because it’s theatrical in the best way. Every track feels like its own little story, complete with montages and confetti. It’s fun (pun intended), a bit chaotic, and somehow still heartfelt. Shame the band called it quits…

There are so many great songs on this album and it resonates with any mood. Dua’s voice is amazing.

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Whenever I feel lost, I turn to this album. Some songs feel like a warm hug, offering comfort, while others make me reflect deeply. I love the storytelling—each track paints a vivid picture and relates to different moments in my life. No matter how many times I listen, I always walk away with a new realisation.

Favorite Album

Full Moon by Brandy

As an R&B aficionado, Brandy’s “Full Moon” ticks all the boxes, and I think all fans of R&B can appreciate the quality of this album. It’s a masterclass in vocal production, and together with Rodney Jerkins' beats, something special was created that still sounds fresh (yet nostalgic) today 20+ years later.

Joe

Favorite Album

I Forget Where We Were by Ben Howard

Ben Howard is a primary example of an artist who has changed with the times, always surprising with each album. I love the epic, yet raw and understated nature of his second record, and it blows me away every time I listen to it.

Favorite Album

Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers

It was released in the summer of 2020, and as the world swirled in confusion it served as a release of angst (and acceptance) for me. I will never forget hearing “I Know the End” for the first time and immediately feeling understood. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing and meeting Phoebe a few times, so I gifted myself a tattoo with lyrics from the album the night before my college graduation.

Favorite Album

The Ooz by King Krule

Serving as the perfect mix of punk, jazz and rock, this album was my gateway to King Krule, which expertly showcases Archy's ability to combine musical experimentation with such a diverse range of emotions, making the album infinitely listenable.

Nicole

Favorite Album

Actual Life 2 by Fred Again

Music, at its core, is a reflection of the artist. And nowhere does that sentiment ring more true than that of Fred Again. For me, the album is like a series of diary entries, every track feels like it holds such meaning and I love that about it. Roze is my favorite track from the album ‘I was nothing but good to you, made some mistakes but I still loved you’, it just hits. Actual Life 2, was released in 2021, a very uncertain time in the world and provided, for me, a great deal of enjoyment when the world was a pretty dark and repetitious place to be.

Nicole

Publicist

Favorite Album

Electric Warrior by T Rex

Arguably, the best rock albums of all time came from the early seventies, but Electric Warrior, for me, comes out on top. Marc Bolan was able to take inspiration from classic fifties riffs and create an album that acted as a catalyst for a new age of a more futuristic rock sound. Electric Warrior perfectly encapsulates the type of music, and the culture that came with it, of its era.

Rachel

Grace by Jeff Buckley

It’s a perfect record to me, and there’s something really magic and visceral about the way he writes and performs.

The heartfelt lyrics about nostalgia, love, and adventure resonate deeply with me, evoking memories and emotions of joy and longing. It's the perfect soundtrack for summer days, capturing a carefree vibe that aligns perfectly with my personal experiences and tastes.
