"Radiohead is definitely Thrice’s collective favourite band. As much as we all listen to a ton of different stuff, Radiohead is a constant inspiration and influence. As difficult as it is to choose a favourite Radiohead record, for some reason In Rainbows feels like the most consistently listenable record. From the moment I heard the record it had a comfortably lived-in feel to it, to the point that I didn’t realize quite how good it was until its genius had slowly swelled in my mind after weeks of listening."

"The Bends is the best Radiohead album. It is. This is right when they started distilling their songwriting, right before they started experimenting with OK Computer, which is a brilliant record too. But to me, The Bends is as good as it gets because the songwriting is impeccable.”"

"Every once in a while a band comes along that pushes boundaries but still makes you feel and personally connect with their music. Radiohead always does that for me. In Rainbows is a great example of a band doing exactly what it wants to do regardless of what's popular or current. They have set a precedent while still staying true to their identity as a band. I love that! Some of my favorites are '15 Step,' 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi' and 'All I Need.'"

"It’s funny, this list, I’ve actually met a lot of the people I’ve chosen! Rufus came on tour with us in 2003, it was the first time we’d got on a tour bus and the first iPods had come out. Tim had an iPod, and I checked it out, I put it on and the album he had on there was Want One and I was completely blown away. He sounds a bit like Radiohead-does-classical, particularly on that record. I remember saying to him that he sounds a lot like Radiohead and he was a bit like, “Really?”, I don’t think he even knew their music. That album was written, I think, during the time he got clean from being really addicted to crystal meth. I mean it sent him blind and stuff, it was really serious. So the album tells that story, with just beautiful songwriting, and I don’t know if he ever got close to that album again in terms of song-writing, it’s such a phenomenal record. And I like orchestral arrangements if they’re done well, or else it can sound like Il Divo or something but he did it so well, mixing pop and classical."
