I love Lou Reed, brings back memories of first year at Uni.

Most influential in my opinion is James Brown. He took the soul and gospel music of the day and transformed it, influencing many artists in many different genres to this day.

It's interesting how gospel music was so inspiring considering it's religious context. I actually quite enjoy it though.
