| 1 | [on Peter Gabriel] This man has been such an inspiration to me in my career. His voice and his ability to cut me down with his lyrics is just astounding. |
| 2 | [on the album "Achtung Baby" by U2] The perfect balance of earnest sincerity and sarcastic megalomania. |
| 3 | [on "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac] Today I consider this record to be possibly my favorite record of all time. It's a double album and contains all of the experimentation and lack of focus that a good double record should. |
