A los seguidores de una banda y/o músico por lo general les interesa saber qué discos y canciones marcaron a sus idolos. A veces los ayuda a entender su sonido y a detectar referencias, y, también, a descubrir música que de otra manera quizás no escucharían o conocerían.
Recientemente, Matty Healy, líder de The 1975, compartió una larga lista de discos que lo marcaron, aquellos que él considera sus favoritos. El cantante publicó su selección en Tumblr y demostró que tiene un gusto ecléctico, pues los discos dan cuenta de su amor por diversos géneros y épocas.
Uno de los artistas que más se repite en el listado es Bob Dylan con los discos The Freewheelin Bob Dylan (1963), Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Blood On The Tracks (1975) y Time Out Of Mind (1997). Además, hay joyas como The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) de The Velvet Underground y Unknown Pleasures (1979) de Joy Division.
Radiohead aparece gracias a Amnesiac (2001) y A Moon Shaped Pool (2016), mientras que hay lugar para Bon Iver con su álbum homónimo y 22, a Million (2016). Además, Healy menciona trabajos de Yo La Tengo, Pavement, My Bloody Valentine, Brian Eno, Sigur Rós, LCD Soundsystem, Iron & Wine y Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.
