85: My 00s No1 Album - Luke and Hugh from The Kooks pick albums by The Strokes and Jamie T

The Boys in the Band Podcast

Our series of bonus podcasts continues with Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris from The Kooks picking their favourite albums of the 00s.
First up, Hugh goes with Panic Prevention by Jamie T - an album we've repeatedly praised on this podcast! Hugh hails Jamie's musical skill and craft, as well as his range of influences, and tells us about a tour featuring The Kooks, Jamie T, Mystery Jets and Larrikin Love. What a line up! Find out why he calls Jamie T "our Ed Sheeran"!
Luke then goes with The Strokes' second album Room on Fire - another fantastic choice. Luke calls the Strokes the most influential band in the last 20 years and we discuss the impact they had on The Kooks musically and stylistically.
