Daniel Radcliffe stopped by LA public radio station KCRW to talk about the songs that have inspired him as part of the Guest DJ Project. In the chat, which you can listen to here, Daniel shares five songs that inspire him, from punk to Perfume Genius as well as how he got into certain types of music.

All of my musical influences came from three people until I was about 14. It was my dad who introduced me to Bowie and T-Rex, my dresser on Potter, Will, who introduced me to punk and then actually my driver on Potter, who drove me for the ten years as well on most films, was a guy called Peter was a guy who introduced me to the 60’s, basically.

So, until I was 14, I was just kind of listening to all of that, and I hadn’t ever really discovered new music that was from my generation. I remember thinking, ‘who is the British band I can really get behind’ and suddenly I heard Up the Bracket, which is The Libertines’ first album.

He even mentions which musician he would love to play in a film:

EJL: You’ve had the opportunity to play a real writer, Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings. Is there a rock star you can envision yourself playing?

DR: Ummm, I’ve often said Iggy Pop. Just cause we’ve got a similar, gnarly sort of slightly strange skinny bodies. Where you’re like “you’re skinny, but are you healthy” (in funny voice). But I don’t know, other than that. What really short white rock stars were there?

His Tracklist:

1. Lou Reed – “Walk On the Wild Side”
2. The Sex Pistols – “EMI”
3. The Libertines – “Time For Heroes”
4. Pixies – “Broken Face”
5. Perfume Genius – “Hood”
