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.

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

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.

Hozier by Hozier

Love how dark and poetic it is–the lyrics are some of the best written. It’s been on my repeat since 2014!

Favorite Album

Kings & Queens by Jamie T

Apart from having a great first name, Jamie T is just such a creative and diverse musician. I saw him play live a few years back and he was playing with a white guitar, by the end of the concert it was red from the blood off his fingers from rocking so hard. That’s dedication and passion right there. This album just hits different for me.

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!

Endtroducing - DJ Shadow.

"I've changed my mind a ridiculous amount of times trying to pin this down, but it has to be "Endtroducing" by DJ Shadow. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it and it changed my musical journey forever!"

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.

Off The Wall by Micheal Jackson

This album for me is one of those albums that you don't need (or want!) to skip any tracks - it's good old classic disco music at it's finest, full of groovy, feel-good flavour!

Favorite Album

Don Dada by Super Cat

I love heavy baselines and riddim’s that make you want to skank on a night out, and this album has some of my favourite party starters. You’ll find iconic hit records like ‘Don Dada’ and ‘Ghetto Red Hot’ and the whole album just makes me feel nostalgic, because for me, this was a real golden era of dancehall music. To this day Super Cat is my all time favourite dancehall artist, because of his charisma, lyrical flow, catchy hooks, and that’s exactly what you will hear in this classic masterpiece.

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.

Because the Internet by Childish Gambino

This was so much more than just an album and more the centrepiece of an innovative, creative project (listen to the Dissect podcast and you’ll see what I mean). Featuring ‘Sweatpants’, ‘3005’ and ‘Telegraph Avenue’ as standout tracks, the lyricism and delivery as Donald Glover explores his identity, technology and culture throughout is, for me, unparalleled and beyond unique. An honourable mention goes to ‘Hot Fuss’ by The Killers as a debut album.

It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot by DMX

This album isn’t just collection of tracks for me; it’s the soundtrack of my school years. I vividly recall the moment I first heard it—overwhelmed by its raw, unfiltered production and DMX’s visceral vocal delivery. To this day, I consider it one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made. Its influence is so profound that it remains a staple on many of my playlists, a testament to its enduring impact and the powerful connection it holds for me.

I Never Liked You by Future

Future approaches a decade long dominance over the rap game, marrying his iconic signature trap flows like in “HOLY GHOST” with dense R&B cuts like “WAIT FOR U”. From a production standpoint, the instrumentals on the project are some of the most unique I’ve heard on a Trap artist’s album. The production of Wheezy, 808 Mafia and ATL Jacob on this project are some of the biggest influences on my production style today. Starting off blazing hot with my favourite track “712PM”, “I Never Liked You” is filled with bangers 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.

Rock Spectacle by Barenaked Ladies

This was their first live record from the early 90’s and it was THE album that I connected with whilst I was learning guitar as a kid. Wanting to learn every song on this album is probably why I stuck with it!

The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory by Tupac Shakur

The rawness and pure energy conveyed in this album is moving to the point of spiritual. Anyone who knows the story behind the making of this album and what followed will understand the eerie magnetic pull to songs like “Hail Mary” and “Blasphemy”. The unmatched artistry and desperation interspersed with the complex emotions and theories interwoven within each beat and bar makes this my favourite ever album. “The 7 Day Theory” gave birth to artists like Kendrick Lamar inspiring the production of albums like DAMN and GNX.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

RAYE - My 21st Century Blues

There's so much to unpack with this record. It's an important one for many reasons and sees RAYE truly come into her own. Effortlessly defying the lines of genres and leading with a songwriting style that holds resonance, regardless of who you are or where you come from, 'My 21st Century Blues' is timeless. RAYE’s the artist of a generation and her debut definitely secured this title!

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.

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.

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

21st Century Breakdown is my favorite album because it was the soundtrack of my childhood. My dad used to play it on repeat. Every time I hear it, I’m taken back to a time when life felt simple and peaceful. It’s deeply nostalgic for me, like a memory I can relive through the music. It’s also what first sparked my love for music and inspired me to start playing myself. As I’ve grown, the album’s themes of chaos, identity, and struggle have hit even harder, making it feel like it’s grown up with me.
