An album - Californication. Damn, I played it to pieces. But I first heard it at a joyous time in my life, and I’d want to hear it in that setting again, so maybe that’s just asking for heaven. Second choice, Astral Weeks.

A band - anything by The Beatles. We all seem to get drip-fed bits and pieces of Beatles music over the years, and we hear bands inspired by them, and I can’t work out how it felt to hear them for the first time when those sounds were entirely new. Especially as a young adult, not as a kid being told rationally about why they were important.

I love Californication. I just wished the producers (Rubin?) hadn’t compressed everything to shit. We need a full remaster of that and BTW
