Counting Crows
Fresh off his Olympics spectacular, Frank Turner put together a somewhat more intimate feature about the albums that had the biggest influence on him. Not surprisingly - given his prominent tattoo of the band's logo - the list includes Black Flag. Also perhaps not a huge surprise is the inclusion of Bruce Springsteen's beloved 1982 album
Nebraska
. But some of the other choices may be a bit more surprising, like Counting Crows, mewithoutYou.




Frank talks briefly about each one, and his blurb about the Springsteen album is interesting in particular:

After a long time being immersed in heavy music like Converge, Refused, Jesus Lizard and that kind of thing, I came across this album. Before this I had Springsteen penned as a cheesy stadium rock guy with a headband and blue jeans and so on. This album is intense, sad, threatening, bleak, personal - many of the things I'd been looking for in heavy music, but using only vocals and an acoustic guitar. It opened my eyes to new ways of expressing yourself.
