Music influences
For no particular reason, I got thinking last night about the bands and artists who were important to me and an influence to my younger (and slightly older) self (70s through to 90s). This list is not exhaustive, but it''s what I came up with off the top of my head. Feel free to list your own, if you wish.
Cat Stevens
Deep Purple
Led Zeppelin
Status Quo
Black Sabbath
Albert Hammond
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Outlaws
Kansas
Prince
Nils Lofgren
Gentle Giant
PFM
Be Bop Deluxe
AC/DC
If I continued the list to the current time, I would have to add Nightwish, but I decided to stop in the 90s :)
Looking at the list, it's fairly representative of the genres of music I like to listen to, even today: singer/songwriter, classic rock, heavy rock, prog rock and jazz rock (and Prince, who was a genre all to himself).
