Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

3. SupertrampBreakfast In America

‘Take a look at my girlfriend, she’s the only one I got.’ I remember thinking; ‘how can you get away with that? That’s so rude to say that!’ It used to make us all laugh. I just found their music different, and international. Everywhere I went in the world at that time, I’d still hear that album. It was one of those albums that never died really. It was just so international, their sound.

When we toured America in 1987, that album was on a lot. And dad was a big fan of Supertramp as well. I love that album.
