There are also bands and artists that I like who havent directly influenced me, but their creativity and presense is still felt and reflected even if its not obvious. They would be people such as:
Nirvana, Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, The Dixie Chicks, Chynna Phillips, Natalie Imbruglia, Norah Jones, Dido, Dannii Minogue, Tina Arena, Mandy Moore, Kelly Clarkson, Harry Conick Jrn, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Sarah McLachlan, Sarah Brightman, Ben Folds, Elton John, No Doubt, Gwen Stefani, Bon Jovi, The Whitlams, David Lee Roth, Kelly Osbourne, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Shania Twain, will add more if I think of them, I like such a broad range of music its hard to condense it ... my gosh, the list is endless... I really like at least one artist in every genre. I am very eclectic |
