I love music, and every kind of it... From Al Green, Marvin Gaye, and Teddy Pendergrass to Amy Winehouse and Adele and Ed Sheeran. Joe Cocker, The Allman Brothers Band, Three Dog Night and Janis Joplin to Paramore, Maroon 5, Fall Out Boy and Rozzi Crane. Johnny Cash to Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood... Bruno Mars to Beth Hart, Carlos Santana to Joe Bonamassa, Ray LaMontagne, The Civil Wars to Hall & Oates, Tupac and Nas to J. Cole... I love it all
Some of my favorites are..
Nightwish. (from the Tarja Turunen days)
Delain
Within Temptation
Therion
Sins of thy beloved
Amaranthe
Battle Beast
Theater of Tragedy
E-nomine
Combichrist
Angel spit
Skinny puppy
Covenant
Assemblage 23
Vnv nation
Kmfdm
Apoptygma berzerk

Also, I'm a huge Tori Amos fan, and rather fond of Florence and the machine, Kate Bush, and Portishead.
And sometimes get in the mood for stuff like tool or chavelle

I know there are bands that are greater, but I always had a soft spot for the band 'WAR.' They were so unrehearsed and real. Just a bunch of guys, getting a little high and jamming. No egos or drama. And they were such a multicultural band; without even trying. Cisco Kid, Low Rider, I loved all their music. But what could be better, than 'Spill The Wine.' To this day I try to figure out the mystery to their lyrics.

I love music, so this is a long post!
Rock music of the 70s and 80s really influenced my writing, and I tried being a songwriter for a while. Although I don’t like to write rhyming poetry, my style is generally reflective of what I’m listening to at any given time.
Fleetwood Mac (with Stevie and Lindsay),
Queen (their first 3 early, weird albums);
Cheap Trick!
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
80s metal: Ronnie James Dio, Metallica; early: UFO, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth!), Kings X.
Punk and new wave/pop - faves: The Damned, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Nick Lowe; early R.E.M.,
Classical, film music, jazz — I listen to in the long commute and all day at work — gives me perspective, keeps me motivated. I love film scores of action/adventure movies like “Gladiator” and “300” that are driving and climactic when I’m writing. Fave film music composers: Ennio Morricone, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, Vic Mizzy.
Random rock and pop music - I discover music via friends and odd places all the time. Some of my faves:
Spike Jones and His City Slickers
60s surf rock
Neil Diamond - 1960s to “Beautiful Noise”
Grunge (I lived in Seattle in the post-grunge-era): Pearl Jam, Soundgarden,
Misc SubPop artists and other Seattle bands/descendants such as Fastbacks, Young Fresh Fellows; Audioslave and Foo Fighters;
Weird Al Yankovic
The Black Crowes (early-mid-career)
The Goo Goo Dolls (early-mid-career)
P.J. Harvey (fave album: Stories of the City, Stories of the Sea”)
Robbie Williams (late 1990s-early 2000s),
The Verve (fave album: “Urban Hymns”)
Three Days Grace (fave album: “Transit of Venus”),
The Black Keys (fave album: “El Camino”)
Arctic Monkeys (fave album: “AM”)
Apocalyptica (fave album: “Worlds Collide”)
