On Billie Eilish's list, meanwhile, The Strokes' 'At The Door' took the top spot.
"I wish I could put this whole album as my first choice," she said. "It’s been my favourite album in many years. There is something about The Strokes, I don’t know what it is, man. I love ‘At The Door’, I love the melodies, I love the lyrics, I love everything about it. The Strokes hit a nerve."
