@syrupcore - yep in the male dominated society it's easy for people to forget about great female musicians and composers. Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Carol King have had a big impact on some aspect of my music and/or my life.
@TozBourne Yeah, Carol King was on my shortlist (along with pj harvey). She's way up there for me and she probably had more influence over me than I even realize because she so influenced so many other things. Love and definitely influenced by everyone on your list, actually.
I'm somewhat surprised no one has mentioned Prince or James Brown. Top 3 is awfully hard.
I would bet that if we were to all pick our top 10 most influential musicians that there would be many shared influences in positions 6-10 (like the james browns, dylans and REMs of the world...).
And if you were to add them all up across everyone (#1=100pts, #5=50pts, #10=10pts), those in the long tail of the top 10 would tower higher than the particular sets of three that had a greater personal impact on each of us.
The countless hours spent sampling James Brown! Some of his material was pure magic :-)
@TozBourne They are all great and it's neat some of the under 30 artists today are picking up the torch. St Vincent (Annie Clark) follows in the footsteps of Laurie Anderson and Kate Bush. She even made an album with David Byrne a few years ago.
Yes, St Vincent — I was quite amazed when I saw what she does on Later... with Jools Holland.
Saw St Vincent live here in Portland last year. Ridiculously good. She had a great black can session worth looking up.
It's great to be able to stream music. I've discovered a lot of young artists that sound like the music of my youth (80s).
@Syrupcore Innarestin' about the long tail stats; you're right I think....also have to make note (here as much as anywhere) that when Joni Mitchell is long dead and gone we will look back at her as being under-rated. Hard to make sense of because of course she's been huge, but I think her work, artistically, is just of such very high quality (as regards song-writing).
My Dad introduced me to her (Big Yellow Taxi, etc). Also Carole King's Tapestry. Good stuff.
I was listening to Devo earlier. Those first two albums were brilliant IMHO.
^ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Amelia. It was just a false alarm.....
Late to the party here ... but
Manuel Gottsching (Ashra Temple) — my favorite guitarist and electronic composer.
Frank Zappa — for his guitar work and compositional skill
Terje Rypdal — sparse guitar and atmospheric ECM compositional style
Yes, small world! It was after they released the Night After Night live album, and I remember Eddie Jobson playing a new song, using the Electric Violin like a ukelele! I think the building shook when he started Akaska!
Yeah I remember that! Quite a small place if I remember rightly, so we were able to sneak up to the front.
In every decade of my life this changes of course but the latest which inspires me most was "Hans Zimmmer" since he is involved in nearly most soundtracks today
. Then "M83" since the Oblivion soundtrack was brilliant for me. I just love it. Then "Astropilot (Dmitriy Red'ko)". I explored him trough iOS apps like Solar Walk (soundtrack) and i really love his works. Really depth into it. I'm a fan. Who knows which i love in some years (if i will be still there 
Brian Eno, Todd Rundgren, Jaz Coleman/Geordie Walker (Killing Joke).
Oh, and Les Dawson and John Shuttleworth, of course !
The son of one of the main influences on this forum is John Lennon's son Sean. His new album is really good and sounds like 60's psychedelia.
Listen to Animals by The Goastt (The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger) on @AppleMusic.

Just for the memories:
Blackfoot Sue - Standing in the road
John Kongos - He's gonna step on you again
The Partridge Family - I think I love you
Middle Of The Road - Soley Soley
Gonna put down 3 guys who make concept albums that sound like movies:
DJ Shadow
Dr. Octagon
David Holmes
Honourable Mention: Dimitri From Paris
@JohnnyGoodyear - I completely agree on your comments about Joni Mitchell.
And within her work I think the albums The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira (Jaco P. yeah) are underrated. I bought them as LPs in the mid 70s (when they were released). Apart from her other great work these albums are among my favorites. I adore the rythm guitar on the song Black Crow - also a great version of that song is on the live concert DVD Painting with words etc (1998), great rythm guitar from her there !!! Great guitar sound also.
About The Hissing OSL album: the whole atmosphere is great and it has a very clear sound with depth, love it! Still do. Shades of Scarlett Conquering was once a song I adored. Not so much now anymore, however its still great.
There are so many great Joni songs, a few years ago I went to see a live concert of a dutch artist (Charlie Dee) who did a tribute, man this was great!!! Absolutely loved it. What great songs. I get very off topic, but I get enthousiastic, so what the ... Court and Spark! great album. Her early more introvert work, great!! They still sound great. Ladies of the Canyon, great. The song Rainy Night House, great composition. It is weird but the album Blue is considered her best, but weirdly enough I don't like it very much. I guess I am the only Joni fan who doesn't love it.
Forgot to mention Springsteen in my list earlier, man, Born to Run, I bought it when it came out, loved it very much at the time. Must say that I stopped to listen to him in the early 80s, lost interest in him when he became 'big' (Born in the USA). Also loved his album The Wild, The innocent, etc for a while.
Forgot to mention Split Enz in my list earlier. I had a phase when I loved this band. Mental Notes and Conflicting Emotions, great albums!!! Weirdly enough the Conflicting Emotions album is generally considered as their worst (if I remember it right), but I loved it very much. Also loved the later band Crowded House.
But I think Joni shall be considered as one of the greatest in the long run. Quite deserved.
Forgot to mention Jacques Brel.
Love the Finn brothers. Saw them in Atlanta after many years of following them, and they didn't disappoint.
Nice! Yeah, they are very talented.
@Marcel I like your enthusiasm. Nothing personal, I ALWAYS like enthusiasm
My only problem with Ms. Mitchell is that I think about the lyrics to some of her songs and lose heart. Too good
I know they are the same era (which doesn't matter), but I can feel similarly about Neil Young. Simplicity and complexity at the same time. I was sweeping in the yard earlier (it's a habit) and listened to 'For The Turnstiles' and it left me unable to think about music for an hour or two. No point... 
But....it's also instructive to remember just how high the bar can be....
On the Beach, love that album, in fact it is one of my favorite Neil Young albums, perhaps it is my favorite NY album. Ambulance Blues, what a great, great song that is. Zuma, also a beauty! Forgot to mention Buffalo Springfield!!
As for the lyrics: I am happy that English is not my first language, so I don't have these problems, cause I don't understand everything, and I don't focus on lyrics too much. It must be hard to understand everything
Edit: however the line "you're only real with your make-up on'" is great indeed, simple, yet complex.
Edit 2: The line "The phone rings, no more does my heart sing" if I remember it correct, is very good!! I like your choice of words, nothing personal, i always like nice chosen words.
@mkell424 -- thanks for bringing St. Vincent to my awareness...it's easy for me to miss emerging artists since I'm still discovering new (to me) old stuff in different genres. (Plus stuff from folks here). But I'm a fan of jazz, blues, classical, New music, prog rock, hard rock, folk, chill, pop, ambient, soundtracks, techno, Tejano and the Beatles. Too much for one lifetime...
And it's cool that you mentioned Sean Lennon. I totally fell in love with the GOASTT. As soon as I saw that video, I immediately bought the album from iTunes (something I rarely do). Anyway, it is such a trip musically and emotionally...but very well crafted too. I also like "the newno2" Dhani Harrison's group.
Hmmm, probably something like...
Kurt Cobain
Yngwie Malmsteen
James Newton Howard
Not necessarily my favorites, but they all had some impact on me and helped to steer my mind in different directions.
