✨Queen+Adam Lambert November 11th & 12th 2023✨ Always been my dream to see Brian and Roger. Best concert(s) I’ve ever been too I kinda felt like Freddie was there..I cried a lot…on both nights…for most of the show…it was just unbelievable
out of curiosity, has bo every mentioned what kind of music he listens to? i feel like it's safe to assume he like phoebe-adjacent stuff to some degree but i wonder what he personally has recommended
Great question!
So his favorite band is Radiohead (it's mine too!), but he has expressed admiration for The Beatles, Animal Collective, Paul Simon, Burial, MF DOOM, Anderson .Paak, Eminem, Childish Gambino, Kanye West (obviously lol), and musical comics like Tim Minchin.
Here's a wonderful video with Elsie Fisher where they both discuss their favorite music (and the question is from Elon Musk? It's probably a parody account, but 2018 was WEIRD haha).

And here's Bo's reply in a 2013 interview where he mentions being inspired in his comedy career by Kid A:
I really like The Beatles. Obviously there’s comic songwriting like Tim Minchin and Tom Lehrer and Bill Bailey, but even people like Radiohead influenced me as much comedically as they did musically. I always loved bands who would try to change their sound radically album to album, experiment in one album and revert back in another. I didn’t really see that in comedy much. Comedy mostly just seems like album to album it’s just refining this singular voice that becomes more and more specific, peaks and then plateaus and falls off.
Seeing people like Radiohead being brave enough to put out “Kid A” would give me confidence when I was worried, “Oh man, can I do something that’s a little different? Do I need to rely on what people liked before?” I’m certainly not saying that I’ve made “Kid A” but I am saying that I had a little bit more confidence to take risks because of a lot of the musicians that I enjoy.
Finally, you can find out a lot more about Bo's musical tastes in his Reddit AMAs.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions! ✌🏼🐔
