Mine are 2pac and john lennon. 2pac is because he was an amazing musician and nice person. But john lennon because he sang for peace. R.I.P.

2Pac
George Michael
TLC

Sting comes to mind.... but not many influences. I enjoy all aspects of music. No one really influenced me to listen to the music that I do.

Yeah much respect to John Lennon.

Marely, Tosh, Queen, Tina Turner & Tupac.

The thread itself isn't a bad idea, but it sucks because everyone says the same people, really. Not that it's bad that a lot of people like Bob Marley and Tupac, I guess, but people should just say the ones that aren't obvious. So, in the spirit of what I'd like the thread to be:

Ian Curtis
Harry Chapin
Mike Doughty

Mind you, these aren't my role models, they're my influences in music. Two seperate things. Rolemodels probably include 10-15 of the one's in there. Music is my life and there's influences from left right and centre.
