What music has had the most influence on you and why?

Songs from The Ataris, especially the album So Long Astoria.

The album is mostly about reminiscing the past memories, like So Long Astoria, Summer 79, Looking Back On Today, and In This Diary.

That last song had a line which goes "being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up"

It always reminds me to treasure my life now, enjoy it and one day I can look back and think "boy, what a youth life I had" instead of spending everyday trying to forget my past lol.

80's heavy metal, cause it's the best

I dont know but I like the singer in the song not the music

Acoustic and Indie Rock cuz I'm a lover, not a fighter ;-]

the music i listen to
because i listened to it
and i didn't listen to all the other songs
duh

When I discovered the beatles in 2000. I read about more and more about them, and discovered they were brilliant musicans. alot of their songs I like. why? they sing some good songs about love or corralated to love.

westlife's
because, although many people think they're obnoxious, they're the first group I ever love. and their songs have helped me go through darkest time in my life.

anything that has good meaning to it... The Words are important and if i can relate to the song.. it makes the song even better it most likely i will replay it till i cant take anymore... Right now Emmy Rossum is someonw that i am loving.. i love her new CD and i can relate to it in more way than one

I think Christian music, mostly Hillsong, they are true lyrics, listen to them.

I'm not influenced by music, I'm only influenced by my own motives in life.
