A lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one. Votes: 0

I think this [Feels like Christmas] is one of the greatest, most unsung albums ever. It's Cyndi Lauper, and it's called Hat Full Of Stars. She's so underrated. Votes: 0

I've made a few albums in such an autonomous way; it often has been exhausting. It's almost difficult to enjoy the process when you take on so much. Votes: 0

A lot of incredible rap albums over the past couple of decades have deserved Album of the Year. To Pimp a Butterfly is an extension of those albums. Votes: 0

I look at other artists who have had fabulous first albums, and you don't know what they're doing today. Who's to say I'll be an exception to that rule? Votes: 0

One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years. Votes: 0

Maybe people would be surprised to know that I listen to old Neil Diamond albums from time to time. The man rocks. I defy anyone to prove me wrong. Votes: 0

It's kind of cool that we've quietly been selling a million albums. We knew the album wasn't going to debut at No. 1. I'm stoked to see us being successful again. Votes: 0

Three years between records is longer than average. Double albums are much more of a statement. I really wanted to put myself out there as much as I possibly could. Votes: 0

I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over. Votes: 0

We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums. Votes: 0

We had a huge audience, we sold truckloads of albums. If we do something that's cool, people will listen to it. If we don't, we would be selling people short. Votes: 0

A lot of people influenced me as I was learning but probably Bing Crosby was the most influential, because I would hear his Christmas albums, which my parents played a lot. Votes: 0

I'm rarely grabbed by anything the way I was when I was 10 years younger. About the only relatively new artists whose albums I own are Beck, and They Might Be Giants. Votes: 0

I bought singles until I started working properly and then I started buying albums, so this brings back a lot of teenage memories from being in London before I got work Votes: 0

If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist. Votes: 0

I genuinely don't know how many albums I'm going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don't know how many fans I've actually got at the moment. Votes: 0

Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours. Votes: 0
