Lloyd Cole"s 10 Albums That Shaped His World









This week, one of all time favorite singer songwriters, Lloyd Cole, shared this list he made for a Brazilian blog on his Facebook page. “This does paint a pretty good picture of how you get to be me, I think… maybe…,” said Cole. A smart lyricist and acute observer of life and love, Cole has always been at his best when he keeps the music simple and catchy.



1. Electric Warrior – T.Rex -Made me want to be a pop star.


2.Diamond Dogs – David BowieMade me realize, at an early age (just 13), how ambitious a project writing a pop song could be.


3.Born To Run – Bruce SpringsteenShowed me how language, with the right delivery, could have an emotional, as well as intellectual impact.



4.No Pussyfooting – Fripp and EnoIntroduced me to the beauty of the drone.


5.Low – David BowieChanged everything. Pop music can be anything.


6.Another Music in a Different Kitchen – Buzzcocks Somehow made 16 year old kids in N. England feel that they, too, could make music if they thought hard enough and applied themselves.



7.Highway 61 Revisited – Bob DylanI was too young when this was released but I had an older girlfriend in London 1979, and nothing has been the same, since then. Language is a virus from outer space, and pianos, guitars don’t have to be perfectly in tune so long as they have that Wild Mercury thing.


8.Hot Buttered Soul – Isaac Hayes The genius doesn’t have to be the songwriter.



9.Never Mind The Bollocks – Sex Pistols There can be a beauty in brutality.


10.Dirty Mind – PrinceOMG, minimalism isn’t just for avant garde Germans.
