Gayle Forman This is as impossible a question as, "Who is your favorite author?"

The short answer is many, and it changes over time:

Right now: The Lumineers, though really, that's more last year. No one from this year is really is doing it for me.

Previously, and in no particular order: Velvet Underground. Sonic Youth. The Pixies. Nirvana. The B-52s. The Go-Gos. Magnetic Fields. Beat Happening. U2. The Waterboys. The Rolling Stones. Bikini Kill. Mumford & Sons. The Modern Lovers. The Clash. Heavens to Betsy.
