Default Your Music Heroes/Heroines

Who are the people who either made you think there was more to music than the **** on the radio, or encouraged you to try making music yourself? The people whose albums you started buying and whose music opened up new worlds for you?

My own paltry list would be the likes of Jeff Lynne and Peter Gabriel, then later Fish, Dan Fogelberg, Nick Cave, Waits of course, Bob Seger, Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore. Probably more but I can't think of them ... oh yeah. Roger Hodgson was one too. You guys?

mine is kurt ballou obvs, not only is converge the **** but he's the best producer out there atm and i think this story about how he started his studio is cool

Quote:
In the late 1990s, Kurt Ballou was working as a biomedical engineer when his then project got cancelled. Instead of selecting a different position within the same company that he had worked with for six years, Ballou opted to receive a severance package which he used to build his own recording studio.[2][3] His experiences and knowledge in engineering carry over to his recording work.

Hudson Mohawke for getting me into beak making.
Anthrax for getting me into thrash metal, a longtime favorite genre of mine.
Kesha because pop is awesome, and Kesha showed me the way.

Maybe there's more but this is all I can be arsed to type right now.

As of recent my total musical hero in and out is Jeff Rosenstock. His DIY ethic and stunning ability with chord progressions are currently my hugest inspiration. I'm not copying his pop punk formula, but straying out of the realm of your basic open chords to make poppy music is just wonderful to me.

Dimebag Darrel inspired me to play the guitar.

Captain Beefheart and Derek Bailey inspired me to make the music and sounds that I want.

John Cage inspired me to listen.

Terry Riley informed me of repetition.

Keiji Haino inspired me to be loud and insane.

Terry Riley informed me of repetition.

Peter Brotzmann inspired me to shriek into my saxophone.
