Keenan praised Ahmad Jamal's exceptional musicianship and technical proficiency, emphasizing the pianist's influence and recognition from jazz legend Miles Davis."
"Keenan's purchases ranged from a Joni Mitchell live album to Minor Threat's self-titled LP to N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton. As someone born in Akron, Ohio, Keenan also gave some hometown hero props to Devo and The Pretenders, demonstrating his appreciation for artists across punk, hip-hop, and new wave genres."
