Rush

Helps get me through the day

I'd say it's a three-way tie between Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, and In Flames.

System of a Down/Serj Tankian. That is all.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (My favorite artists ever.)

Eminem (Gave me that "I Just Don't Give a Fuck" mentality.)

3 Days Grace (I was in a dark place at one point in my life, their music helped me cope,)

Disturbed (Same as 3DG but i was in my rebellious teenager stage..... but now that i think about it. Im still rebellious)

The Roots (I've taken an interest in poetry and song writing. and this band sparked it. The interest that is.)

Damian Marley (My favorite Marley next to Bob. I love all his music.)

The Notorious B.I.G (I'm a chubby guy my self so seeing Biggie doing what he did, makes me comfortable in my own skin and gave me confidence in myself. I am losing weight though, cant be chubby forever hahaha.)

Big Pun (Same as Biggie.... Plus I'm hispanic lololol.)

Dennis Brown (His vibe is so calm and happy, I'm never upset when i listen to Him.)

Hank Williams Sr. (Can never go wrong with some OG Hank.)

Aesthetically my favorite artist is Michael Jackson.

In terms of influence, my favorite would be Prince. Prince is a powerful force of musicianship, fluent in more than a dozen instruments from all families. In addition, Prince remains one of the few artists who writes and composes all of their own music. I hope to one day become as well versed as he.

While not an artist, another major influence is Dan Forden, the lead composer of the Mortal Kombat franchise. I dare say he is the reason I decided to become a composer.

I listen to a lot of music, but I think my personal favorites are Iron Maiden, Scale the Summit, and Mozart. Weird combination.

I am practically incapable of picking favorites.

But if I had to create a short list of favorites, I could probably do that. In no particular order.

Faunts
Muse
Ed Harcourt
Tears for Fears
Devotchka
The Killers

Aesop Rock
K-rino
NyOilTheIdeal
Akrobatik

Rap fan right here

yikes I listen to a lot of EDM music. I have too many favorite DJ's but to name a few i like Hardwell, Tiësto, Cedric Gervais, Afrojack, Borgore, Zedd...

Oh, I don't know, I'm kinda fickle with what music I like to listen to. But if I would be put on the spot I would have to go with good old Alice Cooper. He is funny, likes to show off on stage, has a lot of range in sound and make great songs. Kinda hard to get bored of the old man.

My favorite artist of all time is "Based God" Lil B and it should be every one elses.

TYBG!

Slipknot - because Fuck Yea!

The Wonder Years-helped me through some shitty days...ok shitty weeks...months maybe?

Dance Gavin Dance- just listen to the Happiness album, it's amazing

Slipknot
Korn
Mudvayne
Systom Of A Down
Disturbed
DMX
Eminem
Ludacris
D12
2 Pac

Just to name a few. I recently got into Avatar and Scar The Martyr though. Both are very good.

System Of a Down, hands down.

Close seconds:
OLD Avenged Sevenfold (Waking the Fallen)
OLD Metallica (Kill-Justice)
Scars on Broadway (new stuff sounds amazing).
