anyway.

Mike Watt - he's an amazing bassist, and from interviews seems like a really smart, all-round great guy. His love for D Boon always shines thru as well, and you can tell there was an incredible bond between those two guys which to me helps make the Minutemen much more than your average band. He's my favorte musician.

Thurston Moore - easily my favorite guitarist. I admire where he came from musically and his stories from over the years, and how he gives smaller and some pretty far out bands a lot of time and recognition. He's always been a very innovative guitarist, he's also got countless side-projects, and lots of other stuff going on as well, like his lable ecstatic peace. And he owns about a million vinyls.

Steve Albini - he's been in Big Black, Shellac and Rapeman. That's 3 pretty awesome bands. But he's also one of the best producers in alternative music, in my opinion. The Jesus Lizard, The Ex, Pixies, Slint, Low, Mclusky and lots of other great bands have all benefited from his work. He looks like a total dork, but he's done well for himself.

others later.

sid vicious is very important to punk rock, if you look at many important musicians in the past 20 years or so, many will say that Sid ad the Sex Pistols are very important to punk and music in general.

But I defenitley agree with you on Mike Watt. Damn, what an amazing artist he is. I like Thurston Moore's story he told in Nirvana's Box Set booklet.

Sid Vicious may have been the posterchild for punk rock, but he did nothing to improve the world of music as it is today.

Anyway....

Eric Johnson - Amazing guitar player. Arguably one of the best guitar players in the world today. His style of playing is flawless and he writes some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

Geoff Rickly - Amazing lyricist. While I'll admit his voice isn't the most powerful by any means, he embraces that and his style of singing couples itself perfectly with his writing.

Ben Harper - He incorporates reggae, funk, soul, and even a little folk into his sound and does a great job. He's not a revolutionary guitar player, but an amazing singer and his voice brings a lot of power to his music. Great lyricist as well.

John Popper - All I can say is wow. He's just pouring with talent. Amazing singer, amazing writer, and most of all, INSANE harmonica player. Blues Traveler as a band is great. I've been a fan since I was probably 7 or 8.

Dimebag Darrel - Hands down one of the most influential guitar players ever. That's all.

Joe Satriani - His funk/fusion/neoclassical style....or whatever you call it...is just fun to listen to. Watching him play is so fun because he seems to do it so effortlessly. Great guitar player, great musician.

Bradley Nowell - I've been listening to Sublime a ton lately. It's a shame he died. The incorporation of funk, ska, punk, and even hip hop into his music is great. He is easily one of the most influential musicians of the '90's. (and part of the '80's)
