The Quietus's Julian Marszalek asked Mark Lanegan to reveal his most played discs in his collection, and as you might expect, the list was eclectic and awesome. Even better were some of the comments Lanegan made about his selections--we learn Lanegan loves the Bee Gees, "to me they're like what the Beatles are to other people," John Cale is one of Lanegan's all time favorite singers, and New Order's "Subculture" is his current ringtone!
