Judas Priest, and within that group was my 2 guitar heroes; Glen tipton and KK Downing.

Tre´s sympatico! They were big influences for me too, for a couple of years, I give their vinyls a spin now & then, the real JP-fan in the family is my cousin though, he has all their records + most of them in different versions. I made a rough approximation once, he had about 50 - 60 12":s LP:s, maxi´s etc. My top fifteen would probably be, in no particular order: Jeff Beck ( always re-inventing guitar ) Thin Lizzy ( Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham, John Sykes eras especially ) Stevie Ray Vaughan ( raw power ) Nick Lowe ( pure pop-genius ) Dave Edmunds Ducks DeLuxe Jimi Hendrix John Hiatt Fabulous Thunderbirds ( probably the best live-act I´ve seen ) Danny Gatton ABBA Grandma ( at 70 she still had perfect pitch ) Homer & Jethro Povel Ramel ( incredibly productive & fun ) Kate Bush Not so appreciated influences, i.e. what I decided was bad taste or just boring at the time : Milli Vanilli Vanilla Ice Euro-disco ( the genre ) Britney Spears Exploited Mötley Crue Poison Mariah Carey ( an incredible voice, but boring beyond belief IMO ) Anyway, I´m probably just as influenced by the ones I dislike as by my favourites - basically I prefer music with tough guitars & a little virtuosity. Hey Ognis , considering your Syd Barret-influence, what about Punk Floyd ? here, here & here  
Windows 10 (LTSB) - i7 8700 - ASUS GTX1060 -16 GB Corsair Vengeance - Samsung SSD´s - Seagate HD´s - RME FF400 - & too many geetars & amps

Oh yeah - so I guess I should put down my influences. the wierd thing about these is that they are what I listened to growing up, or as an adult, but they are music I like - and in some cases, they are bands I don't really listen to that much anymore. The music that I write doesn't sound much like any of them, or really that much an amalgamation - though I often do cover songs and I don't do a lot to begin with. In fact, I don't really even know what I sound like. I know I will intentionally start a tune out saying something like "I'm going to write something that sounds like blah blah", and then I start and it winds up not even in the same vein! That's when I can get past a riff or two and then 45 minutes of just screwing around on the drums! In no particular order: Queen, and each of its members that have solo work XTC Jellyfish, members solo, spinoffs, the Tories, the Grays, Taxi Ride, PFR, etc Some early 70s Powerpop, like 1910 Fruitgum/Buddha records kinda stuff, Bay City Rollers, etc Kevin Gilbert and anything he was involved in There's obviously a huge additional list of this or that. I have heard a LOT of music in my life of all sorts. These are the ones that I think I continue to go back to, not for nostalgia, but for inspiration (except maybe for the 70s powerpop stuff )

Wow Ognis - If you don't qualify with number of POSTS, you probably get the prize for the most number LINES!
Now offence, but maybe the most useless and annoying post/series of posts to be up here in a while. I hope someone doesn't start quoting the whole thing. You may as well have just printed the entire catalog of Rock music from Amazon, as I doubt anyone actually went through our whole list to see what's in common between you and them.
Nonetheless, it's a public forum, so if you want to simply proclaim that this is the music that you own, I suppose that's your right...regardless of how pointless it may be! 
Funny. It's labor day weekend, what can i say.

Jellyfish, I've only got one Jellyfish CD, Bellybutton, but it's something that I really feel is in the style that I most naturally feel inspired to do, though so far I've done nothing actually like that. I love that type of music, which to me is something like what The Beatles would have done if they had appeared in the 90's instead of the 50s.

You should check out "Split Milk" for a huge production - it was the only other CD they did, unfortunately. For some more great melody and harmony ispired music, check out the Solo effort by Roger Joseph Manning Jr, who was keyboardist and second writer for Jellyfish.

maybe the most useless and annoying post/series of posts to be up here in a while. Agreed. I wondered if his was a serious question or just an opportunity to show us how large his hard drive is. As for my influences, my music speaks for itself: Haircut 100 (less about the style, more about the crappiness). In reality, it's most likely to be Zep & Roy Harper.

... Boxcar Willie, Tiny Tim, the Partridge Family, the the bat that Ozzie bit it's head off... You mean the one that he got rabies from? I love that bat!!! Speaking of partridges, I believe O's first head-biting was that of a dove whilst in a meeting with record executives. Now if he could have only bit the head off of David and Sean Cassidy.... Speaking of Sean Cassidy... my first concert was a Sean Cassidy concert. I was like 9, and was dragged along because my 11 year old sister just had to see Sean Cassidy. I found 7 dollars wadded up on the amphitheatre floor. It turned out to be a good night after all. However, Sean Cassidy has most definately not been one of my influences (that I'm aware of).

Blades, You should (and everybody else here) check out Lewis Taylor's "The Lost Album". I believe he recorded it as his second release in the late 90's and the record company turned it down. He ended up releasing it last year on his own. It's amazing stuff. If you didn't know it, you'd think it was made in the early/mid 70's - fresh off the AM dial. It sounds like the result of a Marvin Gaye / Brian Wilson collaboration - it's that good. It reeks of beautiful shimmering background vocal harmonies and catchy hooks. I, too, am not ashamed to admit i love the old bubblegum stuff. I still have a lot of the old Buddha 45's. IMHO, there's not much that comes close to late 60's/70's music. The creativity and inspiration behind that music just astounds me. It's timeless stuff. ORIGINAL: Blades
In no particular order:
Queen, and each of its members that have solo work
XTC
Jellyfish, members solo, spinoffs, the Tories, the Grays, Taxi Ride, PFR, etc
Some early 70s Powerpop, like 1910 Fruitgum/Buddha records kinda stuff, Bay City Rollers, etc
Kevin Gilbert and anything he was involved in

Jellyfish was the band that got me back into powerpop in the early 90's. Both "Bellybutton" and "Spilt Milk" are "must-haves" in my book. The production is inventive (they used ex-Bee Gees producer Albhy Galuten on both) and crystal clear. These albums started a wave of new powerpop bands that continue to this day. Check out the Audities mailing list if you're interested in this type of music. ORIGINAL: droddey

Hey Psonicspot - did you ever hear the alter-ego band of XTC called "The dukes of Stratosphere"? Their second elbum was called "Psonic Psunspot", though it can more usually be found on the compilation of thier two CDs called "Chips from the Chocolate Fireball".

Since I (try to!) play different instruments, I'm influenced by individual players more than bands. So I'll list the cats who taught me the most: Drums: Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, Bonzo Guitar: (I don't play guitar  ) Piano: Chopin Cello: Steve Howe. Yes, Steve Howe. I try to play the cello the way he plays guitar. Vocals: Freddy Mercury, ABBA, Darryl Hall, Peter Gabriel As far as bands go, I gotta agree with what's been posted: Jellyfish was an amazing ensemble! Sort of a mix of Queen & the Partridge Family. Also I was pretty heavily influenced by Portishead which is an excellent example of how to break all the rules in a controlled fashion (I'm sure Bjork fans would love them).

for me it depends what i'm playing, for my acoustic stuff my biggest influence has been elliott smith (rip). for the heavy stuff it's the pumpkins and nin, i've also been heavily influenced by team sleep when it comes to more experimental stuff

a guy by the name of michael card got me into composing music, he was basically the first artist i could get away with listening to in my rather conservative christian home. "jars of clay" got me to play guitar. "caedmon's call" probably shaped my current musical style more than any other band, although i have to give a nod to:
soundgarden
audioslave
the normals
collective soul
dave matthews band
my current musical inspiration/influences:
led zepplin (who invented pretty much everything)
ryan adams
derek webb (formely of caedmon's call)
it's a short list, but i'm a music snob... =) i'm probably missing out on a lot but then i don't really get floyd or the beatles. my next music binge will probably involve a lot of blues.
