Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros

Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros is one of the most influential and acclaimed drummers of the last 30-plus years, and one of my childhood heroes. As Porno for Pyros prepares to begin its combination reunion and farewell tour, Stephen spoke with me while sitting at a drumkit in Los Angeles, for the first episode of season two of Mile High Stash.

His five album choices were:

1. The Beatles - "The Beatles" (White Album)
2. Pink Floyd - "The Wall"
3. Led Zeppelin - "Physical Graffiti"
4. The Who - "Tommy"

1. Miles Davis - "Sketches of Spain"
