Basically, what were the artists that kept u entertained and who influenced you the most in music?

Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Queen and Bon Jovi have been the artists i have liked the most and for the longer amount of time. Bon Jovi is a huge artist for me - i have ALL of his albums so far..

Rock, pop, stuff like that: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, ACDC, Tom Petty

Rap and stuff like that: TI, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Sean Kingston

Lately I've been listening almost exclusively to remixes and mashups and those usually have a lot of artists and I don't remember any of the DJs

I could make a very long list on this topic, but I'll stick to a few that really influenced me the most. I think the common thread running through my short list is that these all occurred around the same time (my early to mid teens), which are obviously very formative years in personal taste.

 

Nirvana

2Pac

Alice in Chains

Soundgarden

Stone Temple Pilots

Smashing Pumpkins

Mad Season

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller and a whole host of other crooners.

 

I don't know much about classical music, but I like what i've heard of Handel and Purcell.

 

More recently, however, I seem to have become a fan of Simon and Garfunkel.
