Brian May for his experimental stuff, with Alex Lifeson close behind for the huge size of his sound.

Best,

Slash (yeah, yeah, stop whinging)
Kurt Cobain (ditto)

There are probably better guys that I could name now that I have played for a while. But the three I listed below I listed because its the people that made me go.. WOW I wanna have something to do with music. Granted that only included singing up until the last year.

Axl Rose - Put that raw sound in my head
Jon Bon Jovi - Tried to mimic his bluesy rock sound
Bret Michaels - Picked up on accenting words for flavor from him

And for guitar

BB King
(Hum, maybe I need to increase my influenced list on the guitar playing side)

Ralph McTell, John Denver and the primary school teacher I had when I was about 8 (don't remember his name but I have fond memories of the class sing-a-longs).

And I don't care how square that makes me look!

Rumour has it that if you play Microsoft CDs backwards you will hear Satanic messages.

Worse still, is that if you play them forwards they will install Windows.

Doesn't get enough props round here IMHO. The new RHCP album is first class.
