Kelly Jones is the singer and guitarist of Stereophonics, whose new album, Keep Calm and Carry On, is out on November 16. Here are the tracks now inspiring him.
Prince: Raspberry Beret It's a perfect example of pure pop. Amazing melodies and precise lyrics. Great storytelling.
The Doors: Roadhouse Blues We used to cover this song, but I rediscovered it recently in a Sky Arts documentary. It's amazing how much influence this band had in such a short space of time.
Depeche Mode: Personal Jesus I've always loved this track. A song shows its quality if it's covered by everyone from Johnny Cash to Marilyn Manson.
