"The best song to play at a party It depends what stage of the party you are at. Early doors it would probably be I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye. As the night wears on, I'd work through Prince, the Stones and Bowie, and when it really kicks off, Phat Planet by Leftfield, Born Slippy .NUXX by Underworld, and Ascension [Nic Fanciulli remix] by Gorillaz featuring Vince Staples, which is an absolute banger."
"The song I can no longer listen to I inexplicably detest Mr Brightside by the Killers. The best song to have sex to Come Together by the Beatles. The album that changed my life When I was 12 and starting to learn the guitar, I'd only listen to early rock 'n'roll, and was obsessed with Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran. Then my babysitter brought round Let There Be Rock by AC/DC. It was still rock'n'roll, but it was high voltage rock 'n'roll."
Earliest musical memory is walking into a nursery room where Yellow Submarine by the Beatles was playing, captivated by sound effects and Lennon's 'Full speed ahead!' An early record choice was Come Back My Love by Darts, followed by purchasing Mull of Kintyre by Wings with pocket money. Karaoke is avoided, but Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra would be chosen reluctantly. Familiarity extends to nearly all lyrics on Paul Simon's Graceland. Party selections vary by stage, from Marvin Gaye and Prince to Leftfield, Underworld and a Gorillaz remix. Mr Brightside by the Killers is intolerable. Come Together is preferred for sex. AC/DC's Let There Be Rock ignited a transition to high-voltage rock'n'roll while learning guitar.
