Re: Your A to Z of Bands and/or Artists
2 posters and no mention of a little known quartet from Liverpool?
My list is way too long to mention so here are some of my musical influences through the decades....
60's
The Beatles (cough cough Pharvey and Lindosfan)
Swinging Blue Jeans
The Hollies
The 70's
T Rex
Gary Glitter (Yes I Know!!)
Fox (Only You Can)
John Miles (Music)
Wings (Saw them in concert 1979, Liverpool)
The 80's
Bit of a wasteland for me other than
OMD (Numerous Manchester Concerts)
A Flock Of Seagulls (great haircut that Donald Trump later emulated )
Pink Floyd ( A momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell)
The 90's
The Stone Roses ( I was very stoned at Spike Island )
Oasis
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
The 00's
Matchbox Twenty
Goo Goo Dolls
Third Eye Blind
Angels And Airwaves (Post Blink 182)
Beth Hart
Lots more but these would be top of my list.

Re: Your A to Z of Bands and/or Artists

Re: Your A to Z of Bands and/or Artists
DM..Good choices but I can't say that any of them influenced me in any significant way. The nudey dancer may have though, but you didn't state if it was a male or female dancer

Re: Your A to Z of Bands and/or Artists
If it was a bloke, he had great tits...
I used the word influences too casually. Now that I think about it, the biggest musical influence I've ever experienced was when a girlfriend introduced me to Baroque music when I was about 30, Albinoni, Pachelbel, etc. Come to think of it, she had great tits too!

Seen many a "Bob the builder" with great tits here
As for Classical I would have to plump for the punk rocker of his day Wolfie Mozart and the pizza pioneer Verdi

Re: Your A to Z of Bands and/or Artists
Due to my age, my list is long and too esoteric to post. Maybe I can sum it up with a few people & catagories.
Charlie Parker and all who followed in his wake.
Early music. Pallestrina, etc. and his progenitors up through the 20th. C.
Ravi Shankar and those who came before and after.
The music of Africa, European Gypsies, & the Middle East.
Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, John Prine, the entire pantheon of Mississippi Blues musicians.
That's enough. Alphabetical order would take the use of algorithms and I'm a analogue guy.
