David Byrne of Talking Heads Fame. He's just an all around badass. Keller Williams is also a pretty amazing musician.
In no particular order... Donovan Syd Barrett Stephane Grapelli Yehudi Menuhin Dave Gilmour Ludwig Van Beethoven Frederic Chopin Ravi Shankar Justin Hayward I think they're probably the main ones.
captain trips and the gang, that hendrix guy, those no name punks from liverpool... the junebugs or something, thelonius monk, coltrane, and kreiger/manzarek... yeah, theres lots more, but im feelin kinda lazy...
Bruce Springsteen wasa the reason I got into music, and recently Richard Thompson is the reason I keep on playing music.
I LOVE RUSH SO FUCKING MUCH! Gah! I can't even relate to you my love for them over the internet. CANADIAN POWER TRIO. And Pearts lyrics, incredible.
A kindred spirit!! (of Radio....?) I saw them this year on tour - what a gig!! Perfect performances, amazing set, lighting to die for! New Drum solo, even better than before! Ears ringing for about three days afterwards! Not a band to touch them IMO
