Horrible tough question. If you really push me - Kind of Blue. But I hate the question.
The first record I bought with my own money was...?
I'm honestly not certain, but probably Foo Fighters' There is Nothing Left to Lose, Oasis's Definitely Maybe or Semisonic's Feeling Strangely Fine. Or Toploader's Onka's Big Moka, but hopefully not that. Please don't be that...
The record that made me want to be in a band was...?
Again it'll be the Foos - There is Nothing Left to Lose. That and the Buddy Holly musical are the reasons I wanted a guitar.
The record I've played more than any other is...?
No idea, but probably one of (What's the Story?) Morning Glory, Born To Run, Joshua Tree and OK Computer
The record that always makes me feel good is...?
Sigur Ros, Takk. Reminds me of driving around Iceland, meeting my wife, walking around Oxford. All good things
The record I turn to when I'm down is...?
Gaslight Anthem, Handwritten or Green Day's American Idiot. Both chock full of "Fuck Yeah". Excellent mood-lifters
The record I think is the most underrated of all time is..?
The Envy Corps, Dwell. You probably haven't heard of it
The record with my favourite cover art is...?
The Beatles - Help!
The record with my favourite title is...?
I don't have one, but my Automatic For The People, maybe.
The record I can't understand why everyone loves is....?
Metallica, Master of Puppets. Just noise to my ears

Bought? With money, right? Crikey, erm, Sigur Ros Kveikur, or David Ford's Charge, as a guess. Both on vinyl despite not having a record deck.
The record I'm most looking forward to in 2014...?
Technically not waiting now, but Foo Fighters's (sic?) Sonic Highways
The greatest record of all time...?
Impossible to pick just one, but I'll have a stab and say Abbey Road. I'll change my mind tomorrow though.
The record that made me want to be in a band was...Therapy?, 'Troublegum'.

The record I'm most looking forward to in 2014...I had been very much looking forward to the two I've not long bought, and they both fail to disappoint; I don't think there's much due in the last month or so of the year that I'm holding my breath for.

The record I'm most looking forward to in 2014...? Clarky's, because he's been talking about it for months. Everything else I only hear about after it's been released
The greatest record of all time...? Sergeant Pepper, not for the music, but because it broke the mould on artistic control

The record that made me want to be in a band was...?
Let There Be Rock by ACDC (Thank's Dad)

(see above; Bright Side of the Road is the ultimate song to restore your balance). Otherwise id go for this guy:
Street Hassle by Lou Reed
The record I think is the most underrated of all time is..?
Then Play On by Fleetwood Mac (no idea how well recieved it was at the time, but it never seems to make any 'Greatest Album' lists and i hardly hear it mentioned in Peter Green related articles either.)
I'll submit the Icarus Line's Penance Soiree as a choice B.
The record with my favourite cover art is...?
The Private Press by DJ Shadow
The record with my favourite title is...?
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
The record I can't understand why everyone loves is....?
Anything by Kings Of Leon after the first record.
Any Foo Fighters record after The Colour & The Shape.

Lou Reed Takes No Prisoners & Avowed Slavery by Icarus Line.
The record I'm most looking forward to in 2014...?
The next Icarus Line album
The greatest record of all time...?
Astral Weeks (more of a magical happening than a record.)
The first record I bought with my own money was...?
- I’m actually not sure. It could well have been “Permission to Land” by The Darkness, but I don’t actually know.
The record that made me want to be in a band was...?
- The above… Permission to Land.
The record I've played more than any other is...?
- Possibly the same response here too
The record that always makes me feel good is...?
- Oooh lately it’d have to be the most recent album by The Trews. Or AC/DC Live. Or Shaka Rock by JET.
The record I turn to when I'm down is...?
- Feeder’s singles compilation of late. You just can’t knock “Just the Way I’m Feeling”, etc.
The record I think is the most underrated of all time is..?
- I’m tentative to say I’m torn between “Use Your Illusion 1” and “Physical Graffiti”, both seemed to appear after their artist’s ‘heyday’ but they’re still blistering and two of my favourite albums of all time.
The record with my favourite cover art is...?
- I’ve always been drawn to (pun-intended) Aerosmith’s album covers. “Toys in the Attic”, “Just Push Play”, “Pump” and “Music! From another Dimension” are my favourites.

“Helpyourselfish” - D-A-D
The record I can't understand why everyone loves is....?
“Dark Side of the Moon” (or anything by Pink Floyd for that matter)
Last record I bought?
“Sonic Highways” - Foo Fighters
The record I'm most looking forward to in 2014...?
As above - Foo Fighters. I got caught in with the hype. The TV show, the concept… it’s cool. There’s others too - Slash, Mastodon, California Breed, Joe Bonamassa, Philip Sayce…
The greatest record of all time...?
“Get a Grip” by Aerosmith is perfect in every way for me.
