Tim Burgess, the frontman of The Charlatans, has shared insights into his musical influences and personal favorites in a recent interview. His playlist reflects a diverse range of artists and genres, showcasing his eclectic taste.

According to The Guardian, Burgess recalls his first single purchase at the age of six, which was “Long Haired Lover from Liverpool” by Little Jimmy Osmond. He vividly remembers buying it from Rumbelows, a store known for selling various household appliances alongside music.

Burgess also reminisces about the song that captivated him as a child, “My Girl” by Madness, which he heard at Anne’s Cake Shop. He highlights the romantic piano and cake memories associated with the track. However, he admits to growing tired of certain classics, stating he can no longer listen to “Move on Up” by Curtis Mayfield or “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan due to overexposure.

His favorite party anthem is Madonna’s “Deeper and Deeper,” which he relates to his latest album, “We Are Love.” Burgess reveals that “Blue Monday” by New Order was the song that changed his life, leading him to become a devoted fan of the band. He also shares his emotional connection to “Wasn’t Born to Follow” by Carole King, which has moved him to tears.

In a lighthearted admission, Burgess mentions his fondness for the song “SOS” by Abba, despite claiming he dislikes it publicly. He even has a specific track in mind for his funeral: “There Goes a Tenner” by Kate Bush, which he believes will allow everyone to celebrate his life while singing along. He concludes with a nod to the song “Discipline” by Throbbing Gristle, which he considers the best choice for intimate moments.

The Charlatans’ new album, “We Are Love,” is currently available, and the band is set to tour from April 24 to May 6.
