Clutch vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon has shared a list of the ten albums influential albums in his life with Teamrock.com and as you can see below, it’s a rather diverse assortment. One particular surprise is his inclusion of Public Enemy‘s “It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back“, of which he stated:
“Another soundtrack to high school. I gravitated towards that because starting Clutch, it was easier for me to be rhythmical than melodic. Chuck D was, and still is, one of the best rappers out there. He had a big influence on Clutch, you wouldn’t think so on the surface, but he did. This Public Enemy record influenced Clutch in a big way.”
