Friday offtopic - Most inspiring musician

[fridi]

Which is the most influential band and/or musician in your life, the one that has inspired you the most and why? Do some of their songs still stay with you as earbugs?

I'd say I've got a few: first The Beatles and ABBA, then Metallica and Nirvana. I'd also add Anouk and Jimi Hendrix (I consider Hey Joe kindof like my personal anthem).

You?

Kim Kashkashian, Lotte Lenya, Anne Sylvestre, and Umm Kulthum. If you include composers, Guillaume de Machaut, Jan Dismas Zelenka, and Kurt Weill.

Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Queen.

Let's say Metallica, Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir.

They Might Be Giants, Tori Amos, and Nine Inch Nails.

Clearly I went to high school in the early 90’s …
