The Bollox

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Listening to my parents’ Motown records as a kid. I was mesmerized by the soul and emotion. That’s when music stopped being noise and became storytelling, identity, and escape for me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Prefab Sprout, A Life of Surprises: The Best of Prefab Sprout Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols The Pogues, The Very Best of The Pogues These albums shaped my musical DNA. The Pistols taught rebellion, The Pogues gave me roots and storytelling, and Prefab Sprout showed me melody and songwriting craft I still carry today. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Mary Riley” “Mary Riley” is special to me. It has humor, heart, and Irish mischief. It came from a teenage relationship her mother didn’t approve of, and it became a snapshot of young love and rebellion.
