the beach boys, the beatles, zappa/mothers, nashville, etc.
but also like nothing else, and everyone you listen to probably owes this man big time.
examples of where his influence and/or kinship is apparent if not obvious: half japanese/jad fair, daniel johnston, sebadoh, guided by voices, pavement, etc.
criminally under-appreciated father of lo-fi underground home recording.
easily the most prolific and self-motivated artist of our time. completely ignored by the record industry for probably 40 odd years.
please visit his website: rsteviemoore.com
where you can find all info including probably the most intimidating and insane discography in all of rock history (400 albums?) please buy all of his music and merchandise you can from his website, and he will send it to you personally, and often adds lots of cool extras and goodies, seriously. i am not paid to advertise this, but i have ordered from him before, and you get the sense he truly reciprocates the enthusiasm of his fans.
