  Patti SmithRadio Ethiopia

  To be honest, I could choose any Patti Smith record. They are each a gift from the gods. Alongside Dylan, Waits, and Richards, she is one of music’s great survivors, and a true legend in every sense of the word. As important a poet as has ever drawn breath.

  The Rolling StonesSticky Fingers

  Almost impossible to pick one LP, even more difficult to name just two, as they are all glorious, but these efforts have successfully soundtracked many a riotous late night out, slurping up the city, in another life.

  Serge GainsbourgHistoire de Melody Nelson

  So ahead of its time. So cool. Gainsbourg delivers his masterpiece here, and one which, for me, carries many a happy memory. So much so, my daughter was named in part after this flawless tour de force.

• 

  The PoguesRum Sodomy & the Lash

  Feral, beautiful poetry from one of our century’s greatest poets. A grand testament to love, adventure, and hedonism! Shane MacGowan is Brendan Behan’s dream come true!

• 

  Bat for LashesTwo Suns

  This girl has something special. Ethereal, unearthly. Effortlessly distinctive and unique. Enchanting! Can be played on a constant loop and never sound the same twice.

  Vanessa ParadisDivinidylle

  Now, some might accuse me of bias, and of course that cannot be denied, but neither can the understated pop genius of these two superior collections of classic Gallic melodies! The most beautiful soundtrack to our life en famille.

  Augie MarchWatch Me Disappear

  Rare and ageless, Augie March exist in the half-light of day. Stumbling upon this band, I’ve found their dazzling wordplay and sublime, mercurial, labyrinthine concoctions truly wonders to behold!

• 

  BabybirdEx-Maniac

  This is going to be released next year. [Frontman Stephen Jones] is a national treasure, if you’re British. For everyone else, he’s a diamond waiting to be found! Lyrically, he’s black as night, brilliant and sharp as a razor.

• 

  Bob DylanBlood On The Tracks

  The bitter pill. Venomous, and yet somehow cathartic. That line from ”You’re a Big Girl Now” — ”With a pain that stops and starts/Like a corkscrew to my heart/Ever since we’ve been apart” — kills me every time. Heartbreaking. The man Dylan is incapable of a bad moment.

• 

  Chuck E. WeissOld Souls & Wolf Tickets

  A true gem. By turns sweet, funny, and beautiful. Just like the man himself. Genius!

• 

  Tom WaitsRain Dogs

  The devil doesn’t have the best tunes. Tom Waits does. It’s almost impossible to single out a particular recording of his. Over the years, Waits’ continued quality of output has never faltered. His high-water marks are countless. This is merely one among many. For moon lovers and junkyard dogs everywhere.
