But Rage Against the Machine is a close second. I love Zach's lyrics. But of course, Thom transcends my soul and puts me at ease...

I am so in love with "In Rainbows" right now. I love both albums...

I would have to say the beatles because they inspired me to teach myself piano. 'Hey Jude' was the first song i ever learned. I just love their music and think they were legit musicians. I love Article A too! I saw you opening for the Jonas Brothers in Ocean Grove last summer and have been a big fan ever sinse. :D

Answered: The Beatles
I think the Beetles are awesome because they always did what they wanted to do. Their songs and lyrics and styles were what made them happy and a successful band. Through all the descrimination they faced because of their "edgy song lyrics" they always stayed true to who they are. They were deffinately one an amazing group of people.

the beatles are amazing. they have about 13 years of histroy and have are loved around the world. they're my favorite band of all time.

Answered: Foo Fighters
Because of the bands listed, this is the best band who comes from the same genre and could be understandably called an 'influence.' Not to say that the guys don't listen to the other bands, but this is my favorite which could convincingly list as an influence.

I LOVE THE BEATLES. It makes me sad to think they are old and some dead. No more amazing music.

Answered: The Police
I love the police because I think they have really good music and sometimes I just jump when I hear their songs. But I also love all these bands, its hard to choose one because so many have influenced me with thier music which has encouraged me to write my own music, and hopefully one day I will be heard. But if I had to choose it would be the police, even though its so hard to choose between these great bands.

At the top is DMB but that is not because of a lack of trying. I just have spent more hours listening to DMB than the rest, but what a great collection of influences. Combined they all represent years of my life, listening.

I loved the police when I was 16. I still listen to them on my IPOD. I also was into U2. The red hot chili peppers was one of my favorit bands in my early twentys. I went to 7 concerts lots of good times.

The Doors, Floyd, Zep, Trower...For me their music takes me to another place. I am differently old school. The best music ever made...nothing comes even close today.

Only because I can not choose just one! Each of them have their own place in music history. Each has their own unique sound. I've grown and changed with all of the bands... from listening to my step-father's old Beatles and Zeppelin albums to listening to RHCP and Foo Fighter CDs. So, I can not pick just one that has influenced me more.

This was hard, it was between U2 and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I had to go with U2 as I have seen them in concert:) I used to love their music. I still listen, but I wish pop culture would stay away from politics:)

Answered: U2
I use to love U2 but I hate them now due to their political crap. I hate it when Hollywood gets involved in stuff they know nothing about just cause they have a microphone. Shut up and sing.

Answered: The Beatles
Each of these bands are great, and have had some influence on me... the Beatles have generated the most hits from their list, and have inspired me to do greater and better things... Knowing they aren't tech. an American band builds on their greatness... Each song has an important meaning in my life from Elenor Rigby to The Yellow Submarine... each one is just as good as the next, and their leadership is inspiring...
