Only one, really?
The ultimate legend has to be John Lennon. So talented, so individual and so profound and a major influence and inspiration to me.
Then again, the people in music who first commanded my respect and admiration were 'local heroes' - ordinary folk hailing from the north of England like myself, who made it musically due to their immense talent and put the north on the map. Tim Booth (James) and Robbie Williams.
But I also think we are inspired by different people at different times and at the moment nobody inspires me more than Anthony Kiedis (Chilis).
Ha ha, did I dodge that question enough for you?
