3.Big Star: Third

4.Neil Young: Tonight’s The Night
“Neil Young is just one of those guys that can do pretty much whatever he wants, and it’ll sound OK.”
5. (missing ?)
“This is an incredible collection. There’s just so much on it that you can really sink your teeth into.”
6.Roxy Music: Siren (Remastered)
“I love the whole feel of this record. It’s really groovy.”
7. (missing ?)
“This record was huge in my life, one of my favorite records. I’ve been listening to it since I was 12. The voice and the guitar are unsurpassed. It really takes you to a different place.”
8.Television: Marquee Moon

“There’s such great dynamics on this record; it really changed the way I heard indie rock.”
