"Bitter Sweet Symphony' is an absolutely gorgeous song. I love 'Sonnet'. 'The Drugs Don't Work' is a beautiful, beautiful song, as is 'Lucky Man'. I love the whole album – it has some classics on it. The production is amazing, it doesn't try too hard to hit you over the head. It's got these beautiful soft layers underneath Richard Ashcroft's singing and I think a lot of that is from Nick McCabe, who adds all these layers with his guitar playing. The album is beautiful and to me it sounds like it'll stand the test of time."

"Probably my absolute favourite. It's very influenced by American Graffiti - It's all in one day, it's the end of school, you've got all the teen cliques – but it's not a standard Hollywood feel good-fest, it's tough and quite sharp. You've got those first experiences of drugs and sex and fights and drinking, all to that great soundtrack. And I love all the stoner stuff, it's just really funny. Again, it's that extraordinary seventies American super liberal moment, which is a completely lost age. It recaptures that: 'Lets all hang out. Politics is over, disco is just around the corner."

"I’m trying to remember records from when I was going through the most teenage, the most angsty periods of my life. I’ve got kids now, I listen to the radio sometimes, a I feel like as a teenager, what are you into? When I was at that age it was Portishead, I remember it soundtracking weird parties I went to where some kids were being more experimental with drugs. I remember it being quite an odd soundtrack to that time. And I think they’re a really brilliant band, one of a few uniquely British propositions, only Britain could produce that kind of group."
