I don't think the record company is aware of it. Because they just bury my albums and don't release them.

You know, my first album, some of those jokes I'd done for twelve years because I couldn't throw 'em out.

The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.

That's part of the reason I called the album 'Shoot From The Hip.' I did feel it was time to open up more.

I'm not an artist that makes singles, I'm an artist that makes albums, and it's a totally different thing.

'American Idiot' is not only one of my favorite albums of all time, it's become an anthem of a generation.

To be honest, we're really nervous right now. It's our third album, so it's gotta be our best and biggest.

The new solo album sounds like me: I'm singing about bad business transactions, bodily fluids, and courage.

I think it's an interesting thing to have to produce an album that you'll want to listen to for 50 minutes.

I've been told I sold 110m albums and singles. If that's the case, I should've come here in a space rocket.

The album ['A Seat at the Table'] really feels like storytelling for us all and our family and our lineage.

I've been performing since the 60s and I made my first album in 1969, so it's been a bit over twenty years.

I want to save duets and collaborations for outside of the album. With the albums, I like it just being me.

The first time I really listened to an album and thought, This album is mine, was Kanyes Late Registration.

I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don't write to fill up the album with my songs.

In an artistic and spiritual sense I'm really not that concerned about what happens after the album is done.

When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.

The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.

I find that albums generally tell a story. Because it's music, it doesn't have to be in chronological order.

It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

England is the first country that I've had a no. 1 album in, so it is now officially my home away from home.

When you're on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations.

I hate album covers where people are just smiling so big. It's like a neon sign that says PLEASE COME BUY ME.

Books are not like albums, where you can simply download and enjoy your favorite chapter and ignore the rest.

It has been an honor to paint on stage and have my art grace the albums and stage sets of renowned musicians.

I'm very bad with music. I don't know any new music. I've listened to the same 10 or 12 albums my whole life.

In my office, I have framed album covers by Dottie West, Connie Smith, Tammy, Dolly, Loretta and Jessi Colter.

If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

The worst thing about me is that I'll buy albums and put them away on the shelf and forget that I've got them.

If you listen to 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,' by Gil Scott-Heron, that album is dripping with rage.

I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

To create an album of 12 songs, I've got to write about 80 songs. Half of those are totally weird and rubbish.

I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.

I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.

The first rap album I bought was Eminem's The Slim Shady LP so I wasn't even based on West Coast rap like that.

Strings have been a part of my career and my albums since the very first day. 'Snowbird' had beautiful strings.

If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.

It was so incredible to be able to get the opportunity to make my own first album. I never expected to do that.

The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album.

I didn't ever want to make a rap album. I considered it too limiting. Now that's exactly what I've gone and done

Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.

I've never been the type of person to jump up and throw out the album without it being what it's supposed to be.

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.

I still play the same kit that I used on the very first album. It's an old Tama Superstar that I bought in 1983.

I've tended to look at my albums as research and development. I was just trying to get someplace new on each one.

I'm growing as an individual, but your always growing. All of my albums are snapshots of where I am artistically.

If I tried to make a commercial album, it would be a complete flop. I have no idea what the world at large likes.
