[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 756213, member: 17918"] The problem of 'influence' is that all manner of artists have influenced me in many ways, the DIY/indie movement that showed that if you wanted to, you could be in a band and release records that gave people a wider variety than could be found in HMV, Michael Franti (Beatnigs/Disposable Heroes/Spearhead) who was the first hip-hop artist I met who took time to thank us as crew, advised a friend on improving his rhymes and was genuinely a good chap. Swans who wowed me with the sheer transcendent power of ear bleedingly loud live music (and whose albums I still listen to regularly), Palace who got me listening to country tinged blues again. The Cure, Joy Division and The Smiths who as a depressed teenager kept me going through lyrics which made me realise that as fed up as I was, it was better than I felt in reality and life could get better. Pixies, Throwing Muses, Nirvana, NoMeansNo, Mudhoney, Tad, Pavement, Alice Donut, Ministry, NIN, Fugazi, Skinny Puppy,Skatenigs and many more late eighties/early nineties bands that I headbanged away to, moshed, stage dived and found a community of fellow fans etc etc. [/QUOTE]
