Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

12. The BeatlesThe Beatles

Well, that’s just a great radio station. Very adventurous. We used to play ‘Wild Honey Pie’ live – it’s just two words! Once again, a clever song, to me it’s like a "fuck you" song – "We’ll just use two words man, y’know". Lot of good tunes, obviously, I always liked ‘Dear Prudence’ and ‘Glass Onion’.

I played it to my son when he was like six years old and I like what he said: "Daddy" – I think I played ‘Dear Prudence’, maybe ‘Julia’, and he goes – "this is a sad song, but I like it!" And that’s so cool – you’re my son!
