A multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, piano, keyboards, electronics, drums, and a producer.

I've listened to Morricone since a was a little kid when my dad used to play some of his soundtracks from the 60's I now find myself actively seeking many if his works out they are truly amazing. Hearing his compilation called High always as rounded me and was and still is one of my favorites.
I'm always amazed, how "deceptively" can make a sentence mean the opposite of itself as well.

Captain Beefheart changed the way that I look at music and he's still my favourite artist, so I gotta go with him.

It's probably a cliche, but I gotta go with Brian Eno. Probably no other artist has had as significant an influence on my musical taste, or on my willingness to experiment with my own art and consider all possibilities and strategies. Plus he has played on or produced many of my all time favorite albums.

Honorable Mentions:
Captain Beefheart
John Zorn
John Cage
The Residents

(Yikes! My heroes are all kinda weird...)

???

I was just saying a lot of their music is meant to sound simple and poppy, but if you look through the music a little those "simple parts" are actually very intricate and complicated.

I know what you meant. It was not a criticism of your phrasing.
It's just a linguistic observation. The sentence could as well mean, that their music sounds complicated, but is actually very simple. Such is the weird power of the word "deceptively". I think it's cool. Russian and German don't have anything like this.

It is a really hard question which will require some soul searching.

Ah I see thanks for clarifying
That is weird now that you mention it, I never noticed it.

For me the soul searching was the easy part. The hard part is revealing them. I feel highly protective of my "heros" and favorites artist and talking about them (I feel) is like feeding them to the wolves. I just lurk around to see what other people have to say.
