Yeah - you can hear the Spice Girls and Britney Spears in every song I write.

Seriously - you got me there.
Why would you want to compose in a style you personally don't like?
Genuinely curious cos this is a new one on me...
I didn't say I wanted to compose a style I don't like, I said I was influenced by artists I didn't like. That was my whole entire point, not all influences are positive. Tell me you haven't scrapped a project that sounded too much like a band you dislike. Bands and artists we dislike also influence us, it has to be. IMO you can't have one without the other...
Ah, now I see where you're coming from.
Thanks.

In which case, to answer your question; no, I don't think I'm influenced by people I don't like.
of course you are, how can you know what you like unless you define what you don't like as well?

hehe - OK then, how about this: the music I don't like influences me to not make that kind of music?

Bruce Willis' first solo record, simply stunning!

He took a worthless song like "Respect Yourself"
and gave it soul and credibility.
And the video was/is absolutly the most sublime masterwork ever aired on that most elegant of medium--M T V

Just one album inspired me to build a homestudio and go write music and record it;
SCOOP from Pete Townshend.

It was not only the music that inspired me, but more the inside sleeve with the pics of his homestudio!

Though I really dig this collection of demo's, he is far better solo then the Who ever were (IMHO)...

i forgot about these earlier, but they certaqinly had a big influence on my music:

mr wright - my piano teacher from 6-10

bloody boring but he's the reason i can play my scales

andy sneddon - my piano teacher 12-16

top bloke, had a wavestation and a sequencer. wasn't arsed if you could sight read as long as you made/sung/played good tunes.

mrs williamson

music teacher for my GCSE, taught me to play saxophone (badly) and bass (marginally better), liked unusual music, got me thinking.

edit: just one more. steve burley - wrote the songs and played guitar in an old band of mine, total prima donna but wrote some excellent tunes.

cheers,

steve.
