hi justin, who are some of the musicians that inspire you most?

There's quite a lot, so if I lay some out to you now, I'lll be omitting so many that should have been included. I've spoken on this before, so rather than repeating myself, I'll say:

Bass players: I'm inspired by everyone from Hook to Jamerson, David J to Family Man, Wobble to Rainey.

Too many bands to list, but I love Beatles, ELO, Slayer, Joy Division, Stranglers, Queen, Daft Punk, EWF, The Association, Husker Du, THe Carpenters, Mission of Burma, Kinks, Bob Marley, Zombies, Minutemen, CSNY, Wire, U2, Scritti Politti, Ramones, Kraftwerk, Radiohead, Otis Redding, Can, Beach Boys, Chameleons, Stones, MC5, Grand Funk, James Gang, X Ray Specs, Pistols, Devo, XTC, Police, OMD, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, Rufus, Stevie Wonder, Clash, Meat Beat Manifesto, Jesus Lizard, Big Black, MBV, Elvis, Pylon, Os Mutantes, Gainsbourg, France Gall, AC/DC, Van Halen, Aphex Twin, Bad Brains, Big Star, Scott Walker, Fancois de Roubaix, A Certain Ratio, Fleetwood Mac, Dif Juz, Malcolm McClaren, Cocteau Twins, VU, Thomas Dolby, Tom Tom Club, Pere Ubu, Jesus & Mary Chain, Cornelius, Talking Heads, Easy E, Afrika Bambaataa, Cheap Trick, Bowie, blah blah blah.
