"The album that I've been listening to for the last 18 months is Grace by Jeff Buckley. He is a great, great singer. He has such an emotional range, doing songs by Benjamin Britten and Leonard Cohen, as well as his own; such technique and command. When the Page/Plant tour hit Australia, we saw them and we were knocked out. It was very moving. Someone heckled him from the audience, "stop playing that heavy stuff!," but he made the perfect reply: "Music should be like making love ― sometimes you want it soft and tender, other times you want it hard and aggressive." I felt he paid us a great compliment with his music in that style."
