Name Corey Feldman
Best known for Truth.
More from Spin:
Current city Los Angeles.
Really want to be in Egypt and Israel.
Excited about The Birthday [film released last October].
My current music collection has a lot of EDM.
And a little bit of Eminem.
Preferred format I prefer CDs because the clarity is there and you don’t have to worry about if all of a sudden the streaming service decides to take down your favorite artist because there’s a copyright dispute and you suddenly can’t get the music online, or suddenly there’s a Bluetooth problem.
I just love the old-school CD where you can just pop it in and you know you’re going to get the right quality and you know you’re going to hear the same thing every time.
Vinyl, too.
5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
(“In no particular order…”)
1
Abbey Road, The Beatles
Abbey Road to me is the perfect Beatles album because it’s got everything. Every song is amazing—I don’t think there’s a throwaway song on the album. It’s a perfect, flawless piece of continuous music.
2
Animals, Pink Floyd
I love pretty much everything that Pink Floyd did from 1971 onward. From the moment they brought David Gilmour into the fold things started moving upwards, in my estimation. Tough one. When you’ve got multiple albums that are perfect, like Dark Side of the Moon; The Wall, Wish You Were Here. It’s just album after album [of] perfection.
If I had to pick one, as odd as it is, I would probably go with Animals. The reason why I would go with Animals is because—I know David Gilmour would hate this if he read it because he hates that album—to me, it’s his finest guitar work, his finest vocal work. One of the greatest songs, I think, in the entire canon of Pink Floyd is “Dogs.” He won’t perform it live, and it drives me crazy because he sounds so good on it. His voice is so perfect for it. I love that it’s 15 minutes long and it’s so involved and it goes through so many changes. It’s got different variations, going from the really rocky stuff to the nice acoustic sound to the very psychedelic sound. It goes through every incarnation of their music in one song. I think that’s what I love about it.

Bad, Michael Jackson
It was Bad that really changed the landscape of music, as far as I was concerned, with a song like “Smooth Criminal”being so powerful. Such an incredible bass line. I remember the first time I got to hear it was actually in person when I walked onto the set of “Smooth Criminal,” and he had it playing on these giant speakers. When I heard that bass line for the first time, it was godly.
Then you got “Man in the Mirror,” which is obviously so powerful and spiritual and uplifting. You’ve got “Bad,” which grabbed everybody by the pulse when it first came out because nobody expected that.
Of all the Michael work, I would definitely say that was his moment of perfection.

Invisible Touch, Genesis
I loved Phil Collins back in the day. What a wonderful man, so nice and such a gentleman. Genesis did so many great albums. Obviously, there’s stuff that I love from their experimental phases. I love the stuff with Peter Gabriel.
[Invisible Touch] really has so many dimensions to it. It keeps their psychological psychedelic trippy-type format with the longer songs and those big long musical numbers that they do. Then there are also so many quintessential pop hits and Top 40 songs that blow it through the roof.
Incredible drum work by Phil Collins. Incredible lyrical content, incredible guitar and keyboard work by the other guys just all around great album.
5
The Nylon Curtain & Storm Front, Billy Joel
I’m a huge Billy Joel fan. My two favorite albums from him would be The Nylon Curtain—great album—t’s a really tough toss-up between that and Storm Front.
Both amazing, both perfect albums. Completely different versions of him both in the ’80s of course, but one was more on a Beatle psychedelic rock kind of trip, and the other was very modern pop-rock at the time.
I can’t really go with one or the other, so I’m just going to have to call it right down the middle. If it were a double album, it would be perfect.
