Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

2. RadioheadAmnesiac

I’m a big fan of Radiohead, and Amnesiac was one of the first albums I heard by them. The songwriting’s amazing, it’s such emotive music and I loved the marrying of electronic and acoustic; an indie sound in an experimental direction. It incorporates so many different styles and I enjoy it the most because it’s the most experimental. It’s almost like the beginning of something with Amnesiac. Everything after that is more of a development of the ideas they had on Amnesiac.
