Kurt Cobain
The Beatles (yes, I'm combining them)
Tony Iommi
Cobain definitely had the biggest impact on me musically. I started playing guitar in 1988 or 1989. At the time I was listening to a lot of guitar "gods" (Hendrix, Gilmour, Hammet/Hetfield, Clapton, Page, Satriani, Vai, etc.) and trying to play like them. Being self-taught, there was absolutely no way of achieving that, and I almost gave up playing due to frustration.
And then along came Cobain. From him I learned that you don't need to be THE most talented musician around in order to make music. With Nirvana I was able to learn to play complete songs, impress the ladies, and start a band. Confidence grew from there, and here I am.
no doubt man, they were just that profound
Good call on Byrne.
Can't argue with Fela. Hugely influential. Still mad that Mrs. Goodyear saw him at the Shrine in Nigeria when she was there (and I wasn't obviously).
Guthrie, Frasier, Raymonde
Yep, that was me -- or is me (davidenglish.com). I still have my COMPUTE! softball cap, though it's looking kind of shabby.
Wow. I used to have the COMPUTE Hard Drives softball shirt, but it's long gone. :-/
Andy Gill, Andy Partridge, Andy Summers.
and if I can grab two more, Laurie Anderson (almost another Andy!), and Leo Kottke (not an Andy at all, but in terms of how I actually play guitar, probably the most obvious influence -- but that's just because I can't pull off the mayhem of Andy Gill).
And to grab one more, Tom Morello. But they're so good, I'm going to keep going. Annie Clark. And Vernon Reid. And Wayne Kramer. And Carol Kaye.
Jacques Brel, Thelonious Monk, and Michael Gira
Too many to list, and my tastes are all over the place, but the first three names that came to mind are Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley, and Lee Kerslake, that first got me into metal in 8th grade (1987-88) when I heard Over the Mountain at a friend's house. At that time I was very into rap but a bet with him that we could listen to one song in each other's preferred style won me over instantly when the solo in over the mountain came on.
But, James Jamerson big time since then, and Miles Davis for sure. These days I also really like Brandon Flowers- his new album is really good but his first album is a masterpiece. I love his work with the killers too.
Gary Numan, Ian Anderson, early Simple Minds
I still have fond memories of playing Arcade Volleyball. How about an iPad version that responds to MIDI notes? A free game with every Diode-108 Drum Machine.
Peter Gabriel, Bob Marley, ....."..........Keith Richards
The Prodigy (Liam Howlett)
Paul Simon
Amon Tobin
Haha. We've talked about some easter eggs. :-)
Pleased to see multiple votes for the Coop, Bad Brains and Orson Welles, all personal faves. Can't believe no one's mentioned God yet, so I'm going to mention him:
Lemmy.
I missed these when they happened but caught on in the late 90s. Spirit of Eden is one of the most amazing/under-appreciated records I've ever heard.
I was going to put Hawkwind, but they're a bit too virtuoso to have been a formative influence for me.
@Audiojunkie Cool! They're all great artists. I'm still in the beginning phases of making music and trying to find my voice. I think we posted about "phrases" in the past. I can write melodies but I need to learn a little theory. I just purchased the Hook Theory book/app.
I really love alternative (now they call it indie) music of all kinds. I like well written melodies performed in an original way. Experimental music is fun but nothing beats a great tune.
Steve Hillage | Saga | New Order
I very nearly put Liz Fraser in, I love the Cocteaus.
Oh yes, another one that should have been in my list. He'd be number 1 in my top guitarist list though
Joe Satriani
cEvin Key
Billy Corgon
Syd Barrett, Benny Hill, Les Dawson
For my current musical thoughts:
Thom Yorke
Geoff Barrow
The Hartnoll brothers
Kraftwerk.
Tubeway Army/ Gary Numan.
Joy division / New Order.
Difficult to choose from my youth as it was a very busy period with all the new technologies being affordable by the masses. There was also a lot of rubbish though at the same time! Lol :-)
As far as individual musicians, any one who is good at there craft irrespective of style or genre. Got a lot of respect for folk who can play well! :-)
Gawd this is rough...
I've had my 3... but I also spent much of my younger youth listening to Bob Dylan... and no one's mentioned him... so I will.
Anything from Jamaica really......Studio Engineers like Joe Gibbs, King Tubby, Scratch Perry, the Scientist, Henry "Junjo" Lawes productions.(Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Gregory Issacs, Yellowman, ... blimey I'll stop there.... Too many to list)....... All early house/ Acid / Rave Jungle Productions, which stared me off making noises.....
Sorry it's more than Three. Got carried away....
