and for the sake of letting this thread live, discuss how your favorite band has influenced you creatively.
For example, when I listen to Radiohead on my headphones at work, my day goes by instantly. (I'm a programmer, don't get into design, but for those of you who design, surely your music influences youre art.)

the blackbyrds, donald byrd could spit on vinyl and I could listen to it over and over again.

pink floyd and cocteau twins, probably influenced me the most...
lots of surreal dreamlike moments in there music...
definitely lots to draw from creatively..and from matthew good?
probably his cynicism, sarcasm...and wicked intellect...
fuels the fire for my more political work on zmag.orgthat, and his lyrics are very visual...very descriptive...hard to describe...but they're closer to poetry or literature, than your average pop tune...
