An underrated band/artist:
Paul Westerberg from The Replacements doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. 

A song that reminds you of a particular memory:
Graceland by Paul Simon always reminds us of Glyn’s brothers old band, Blaidd. They would add a half-time section over the lyric “and she said, losing love is like a window in your heart”.

Go to album when you’re down:
Paul Williams - Bugsy Malone The Original Soundtrack. It’s healing powers are over 9,000!!

Go to record to get you worked up:
Tenacious D - Tenacious D. This is what we listen to pre-gig to psychologically prepare.

A lyric that resonates with you:
Iggy Pop - "I’m bored, I’m the chairman of the board”. When we first heard it we just thought it was a great opening lyric.
