Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Tom Petty, Rush & Led Zepplin will all cause me to change the station immediately!

I have assigned genders and names to every instrument I have ever owned. All have been female. My Schecter bass is named "Vanessa", my Hofner is "Lynda", My MM is "Dawn", and my recently acquired Epiphone is named "Epiphany". There have been many others over the years, but this is my current...
