What are yours?

I'm quite partial to The Bicycling Guitarist.

I was influenced when younger by bands such as The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and most of all by Jimi Hendrix. Later influences included the Dead Kennedys and Yngvie Malmsteen. Some folk, metal, punk or reggae styles are sometimes expressed in my original songs which for the most part though are reminiscent of the style of classic rock from the late 1960s to the late 1970s.
