Toto: Dune Soundtrack
"It's the perfect combination of classically inspired rock guitar and an orchestra. The track 'Final Dream,' which I can't even find in the movie, is only 1:18 minutes long, but it's the most powerful piece of music I've ever heard."

Muse: "Knights of Cydonia"
"Muse is one of our favorite bands ? nothing beats 'Knights of Cydonia.' It's my favorite song of the year and the video is the craziest thing, totally over the top with eagles, robots and kung-fu and laser-gun fights."

Mew: And the Glass Handed Kites
"They're from Scandinavia, and I totally fucking love this album. It's hard to pinpoint, but it's indie-ish, fantasy-rockish and smart. The singer [Jonas Bjerre] is incredible, and the lyrics are great."
