イアン・マクレガンが「私の人生を変えた10枚のアルバム」を発表

●Bill Haley and The Comets, Rock Around The Clock

It was the first rock ’n’ roll record that turned my head, and to meet some of the guys at the Rock Hall ceremony was a particular thrill.

●Buddy Holly, Buddy Holly

It was my brother’s album, but I played it when he was out of the house.

●Muddy Waters, At Newport 1960

This album was the glue between me, Steve Marriott, Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart. It was the album that first gave us something to play when The Faces were just starting, and it has the great Otis Spann on piano, my main influence.

●Thelonious Monk, Monk’s Moods

Amazing! I heard Monk and Otis Spann the same night on the BBC and bought both albums. I don’t play jazz, but love Monk. He’s beyond the beyond. Nobody better.

●Booker T and the M.G.s, Green Onions

You can add their “Soul Dressing” album, too. In fact, you can add all their albums. When I first heard “Green Onions,” I just had to get a Hammond to try and make that sound. Booker is the greatest organist, and his new album is a winner, too, as is guitarist Steve Cropper’s latest. Bassist Duck Dunn is sadly missed.

●Little Walter, Key to the Highway

Add everything else he ever recorded. My first band, The Muleskinners, backed Little Walter Jacobs in 1964. His voice, his harp playing … extraordinary! His five-CD boxed set is absolutely incredible.

●The Beatles, Rubber Soul

The first Beatle album I ever bought and still my favorite to this day.

●Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde

Bob was opening doors and windows on this great album. I was in Sweden soon after it came out and found an identical suede coat to the one he’s wearing on the cover. It was stolen a few days later.

●Bob Marley and The Wailers, Kaya

I played “Kaya” nonstop in my car during the recording sessions for “Troublemaker,” my first album. It is still my favorite Bob Marley record.

●NRBQ, Tiddlywinks

Anything by NRBQ makes me happy. Terry Adams is a genius, and that’s the truth. I saw them recently in Austin and was floored by the musicality and fun of this incredible band. GM
