Musicians: Who Are Your Influences?

**Frownland** · 05-23-2015, 07:52 PM

I was listening to The Pop Group's Y the other day and I kind of realized how much my style has been influenced by Garetg Seeger. I've diversified a little bit by now, but three years ago I could have started a pretty good Pop Group cover band.

Jun Senoue.

Jun was the first artist who's work i heard (his work on Sonic 3 in 1994).

after i heard Crush 40 in Sonic Adventure i began thinking about picking up the guitar.

though, i wouldn't actually get round to picking a guitar up until 2004.

but, yeah. he's my main inspiration.

Some would argue Guthrie as that crown holder, but yes. He was very indulgent, but rightly so.

Just masterful.
