Joined: September 2003 Posts: 9301 Location: south east Michigan | I've become such a cliche' aroound here but.... Townshend. But I sure would not ever want this hypothetical exercise to become a reality. Kinda like placing 5 OFC members in a lifeboat built for 4 and you have to decide which member goes over the side. How would you decide?? Post count?? And Moody.. I know "aroound" is spelled wrong. I was going to correct but decided to leave it be so Temp can understand it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4046 Location: Utah I've been going back and forth on this question. The biggest musical influence on me, in terms of wanting to play music, was The Beatles. So I would have to go with Paul McCartney. | I grew up listening to Cousin Brucey on WABC (770 AM), and heard many Beatles tunes have their first US airplay on the Sneak Preview. | | FlicKreno aka Solid Top |

Joined: March 2008 Posts: 179 Location: Central Florida Originally posted by (Mauvais) Beal: Okay, forever is a long time but today, at this moment, I’m gonna go with Frank Zappa. Not really an influence on my playing, (don't I wish... :rolleyes: ) I just really enjoy his stuff. Mesmerizing solo player, wickedly twisted sense of humour, exceptionally creative, and always had killer bands when he toured. Who is the one musician that you like best of all, or you could listen to forever, or has influenced you the most, or who's style you like or... I don’t think anyone ever had more fun with their music than this guy did. Sure do miss him… Otto . | | Mitchrx |
Joined: December 2003 Posts: 1071 Location: Carle Place, NY It would have been no surprise for me to just say Steve Morse and leave it at that, but then I re-read Beal's original post. The musician that I like the best, has influenced me the most, who can play any style and genre with true emotion and who I could listen to (live) for hours on end is: | Matt Smith!!! ;) | | Beal |

Joined: March 2008 Posts: 2683 Location: Hot Springs, S.D. Otto, most of the folks here who have gotten to know me are probably surprised that I didn't pick Frank Zappa. I love everything he did, and I was fortunate enough to see him in concert twice. He played everything from rock to do-wop, to classical to jazz. The most interesting and creative musician ever. I had to pick my ex when I remembered that promise we made to each other, but Frank would've been my choice otherwise | | | DanSchafer |

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 383 Location: Indiana I'll also go with Jim Croce. But not far behind would be James Taylor and Dan Fogelberg. | | | Highway61 |
Joined: January 2006 Posts: 228 Greatest influence: Bob Dylan. | However, if I had to choose just one musician--(and I just went through an eighteen month period in which I (literally) listened to no other music than his (and his band)--it would be Bruce Hornsby. | | PEZ |
