I am mostly inspired by seventies, eighties rock ala Roxy Music/Talking Heads and some other classic rock, prog, new wave, and alt influences.
But I would have to say Paul Simon.
Especially Simon & Garfunkel's stepping out to the mainstream with Sounds Of Silence.
I read to where that album was a rush job.
Pretty incredible.
And that definately was'nt their only notable album.

I was'nt born yet when that came out. But it must have been fascinating to hear that, especially back then.

I also have a soft spot for Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat, Time Passages.
