Cool

1. Ween... brilliant
2. The Smiths/ Morrissey... tongue in cheek, sensitive, cool as a cucumber
3. The Cars... great sound, lyrics... very beatnik and very eighties
4. Laurie Anderson... original as hell
5. David Byrne... great lyricist, great showman, still making great music at 55 or whatever. My hero.

I mean, there are more... way more... but this is a start, yknow?

In reverse order...

5. Francesco Gucchini
Beautiful Piedmontian accent and very powerful lyrics. "Auschwitz" is a masterpiece both vocal and lyrical.

4. Mark Knopfler
Some of his songs are, to put it cliche-ic, entwined to my soul. I think "What it is" was the song that sparked my musical interest.

3. Andrea Bocelli
I was never really excited by Pavarotti, so why Bocelli? I think it is Bocelli's softer, more intimate voice that does it. "L'ultimo Re", "Canto della Terra" and Mille lunde mille onde" are among the favourites.

2. Bob Dylan
After Knopfler ignited my interest, and later passion, for music, Dylan made me pay attention to the lyrics. And for a long time I thought of Dylan as the ultimate master of lyrics, until I discovered...

1. Fabrizio de Andre
He changed the way I think about music, poetry, everything lyrical and musical. Had he written in English he would be world-famous. My inspiration number 1, 2 and 3.

In no real order...

David Bowie
Made me realise how shit nu metal and just about every other band I listened to at the time truly were.

New Order
My introduction to electronic music.

Steel Pulse
My introduction to the wonderful world of reggae.

Elvis Costello and Nick Cave
And I wouldn't be who I am today without the influences of these two.
