Matty Healy, líder y vocalista de The 1975, ha demostrado tener un amplio gusto musical tras publicar en Tumblr una lista con sus discos favoritos de la historia. La selección es rara, en cuanto a la increíble variedad de estilos. El artista británico incluye tanto a Bob Dylan, uno de los más aclamados e influyentes de la historia, como a Lil B, el inventor del término «basado».

La lista de Matty Healy incluye discos de post-hardcore y screamo, punk rock y post-punk, indie, lo-fi, outsider music, avant-garde, math rock, shoegaze, electrónica, hip hop, funk, folk y rock clásico. Un poco de todo, vaya. Como fuente de descubrimiento musical, es oro.

Dylan es el artista con más menciones en la lista. Los elegidos son ‘Highway 61 Revisited’, ‘Blood On The Tracks’, ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ y ‘Time Out Of Mind’, lanzado en 1997. Otros clásicos que Healy ha incluido son ‘Velvet Underground & Nico’, ‘Unknown Pleasures’ de Joy Division y ‘Crooked Rain Crooked Rain’ de Pavement.

No sorprende la inclusion de ‘Sound Of Silver’ de LCD Soundsystem, dado que en su último disco, The 1975 hizo un claro homenaje a la canción ‘All My Friends’ en la intro. ‘Original Pirate Material’ de The Steets, ‘Takk’ de Sigur Rós y ‘mvb’ de My Bloody Valentine también han conseguido su puesto.

Descubrimos que sus proyectos favoritos de Radiohead son ‘Amnesiac’ y ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’, de Bon Iver son ‘Bon Iver’ y ’22, a Million’ y de Yo La Tengo es ‘We Have Amnesia Sometimes’, el EP que lanzó el grupo en 2020.
