Matty Healy, leader and vocalist of The 1975, has proven to have a broad musical taste after publishing a list with her favorite records in history. The selection is rare, in terms of the incredible variety of styles. The British artist includes both Bob Dylan, one of the most acclaimed and influential in history, and Lil B, the inventor of the term “based.”
Matty Healy’s list includes post-scourge and screamo, punk rock and post-pink, indie, Lo-Fi, Outsider Music, Avant-Garde, Math Rock, Shoegaze, Electronics, Hip Hop, Funk, Folk and Classic Rock Discs. A little of everything, go. As a source of musical discovery, it is gold.
Dylan is the artist with more mentions in the list. The chosen ones are ‘Highway 61 reviewed’, ‘Blood on the tracks’,’ The freewheelin ‘bob dylan’ and ‘Time out of mind’, released in 1997. Other classics that Healy has included are ‘Velvet Underground & nico’, ‘unknown pleasures’ of Joy Division and’ Crooked Rain Crooked Rain Rain ‘ Pavement
The inclusion of ‘Sound of Silver’ of LCD Soundsystem does not surprise, since in his last album, The 1975 made a clear tribute to the song ‘All My Friends’ in the intro. ‘Original Pirate Material’ of The Steets, ‘Takk’ by Sigur Rós and ‘MVB’ by My Bloody Valentine have also achieved their position.
We discovered that his favorite Radiohead projects are ‘Amnesiac’ and ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’, by Bon Iiver they are ‘Bon Iver’ and ’22, A Million ‘and I have it is’ We have amnesia Sometimes’, the EP that launched the group in 2020.
