My thanks to World Leader Symes who tells me "In this month's Q magazine there is an interview with Graham Coxon, the guitarist with Blur. I think the article is called The Soundtrack of My Life. He is holding a copy of the album cover (vinyl!) for Court and this is what he says:

Q: What album do never tire of hearing?

King Crimson’s In The Court Of The Crimson King is an album I can become pretty obsessed with. I can’t listen to it just once, I have to listen to it again. Immediately. It has really pretty, fairy sort of songs on it and quite big ones. It’s just so exciting. It’s just my favourite things: organs, drums and guitars all going mental!
