Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

1.

AC/DC – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
That was probably one of the first records I bought. I was in junior high, about 11-12, and it was the nastiest bad-ass record for a kid my age. I just thought they were so cool, they sounded good. Back In Black was also a great record, but Dirty Deeds had a certain sound to it, not the typical AC/DC sound – it’s a little more raw, it’s not as thick, it’s dirtier. I could probably still sing all the songs now.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Lord Spikeheart, Tom Ravenscroft
