List your top 10! ;D
THE BEATLES
hm. I didn't even know you had a band.
My personal influences would differ from the last band I was in, but The Last Band I Was In is influenced by......by......hell I dunno. Iron Monkey, Buzzoven, His Hero Is Gone, Crowbar, Eyehategod.

Yeah it sure looks that way; they posted a flyer for a show in MS later this month, and one of the guitarists posted a pic of new bass amps he got. I know I probably made the right decision to bail, but I'm so hard-wired to keeping bands together I still sometimes find myself struggling with it. *shrug*
corrupted, thou, grief, graves at sea, rwake, sourvein, corrupted, sleep, noothgrush, corrupted.
there are of course more.
Stoner stuff: Acid King, Om, Acid King, even bit of Weedeater. And maybe Acid King.
Drone stuff: Arbouretum, Saint Vitus, Thorns, Sourvein, Mayhem with the most important guys still alive.

Corrupted?
Corrupted rule; vocals wear a bit thin after a while (like I have room to talk, haha)
The Captain and Tennille
\m/ Daryl Fucking Dragon \m/
My next thing's gonna hopefully be a lot more traditional in terms of influences and such. I'm thinking Affliction shirts and songs about drinkin' beer on the tailgate of my ol' Ford with Selma Lou in her daisy dukes and if yew don't like country well yew can kiss mah dog's ass, wooooooo.
...either that or a blues-rock cooker with Hammond B-3, a couple hotshot horn blowers, a red hot drummer and three chicks keeping it very real on vocals

i think most of the time i register the vocals as some never-seen atonal noise instrument. but i getcha. i vary it up a
bit more. adding shrieking and throatsinging keeps it a li'l fresher.

If you made the right decision as you say, just set yer sights on the future, man. That blooze rock vein sounds promising.

Jake has a lezbo bassist, so that she doesn't get distracted by the meaty meaty meat meat.
Shitty childhood. Begrudging my parents (just my mother actually). Failed relationships. Hangovers. Frustration.
All of them, great and terrible. Everything has something from which to learn.
There are too many to name but I'll take a stab at it.
Killing Joke for the primal tribal rage, Ufomammut for the heavy, Fu Manchu for the fuzzy groovy, and Led Zep for the epicness of rock - does this make any sense.

Dammit! I thought we had the original idea of the (hot) lesbo bassist!
As far as influences, personally, Led Zeppelin is why I play drums, but Black Sabbath is the reason I play the heavy.
As a band, we have been accused(?) of "worshipping at the altar of all things Wino." I'd rather like to think that we are just all of the same age, similar experiences, and listened to the same stuff coming up, so we're not copying Wino's various projects, but our roots come from the same stalk?
( edit:Just re-read this. Man, is that a tortured metaphor! Anyway, you get the gist.)
awesomeness! that is a good thing to be accused of ;D

I kinda draw compositional ideas from all corners.
Creston Spiers, Melora Creager, Gizmak da Gusha, Perez Prado, Krzysztof Penderecki, Motorhead, Das Beatles, Sabbath, Melvins, and The Kinks come to mind. I once cited an example from a belle and sebastian song for an idea concerning a bridge in my old noisey apeshit hardcore band. They got it and we used it. Another time in a sludgier band I suggested a kind of Melvins-y change in a song and got shouted down with "WE'RE NOT THE FUCKING MELVINS!". No shit we weren't, or I would've been much sadder at the thought of that band's demise. Also the Melvins finished a song or two in their lifetime. (*Must control angry thoughts).
Yesterday at practice we stole a drum fill from Toto-Africa and a beat from some Rush song.
I have no fucking clue what to even call Ocean of Stars musically, let alone describe the sound, which is still in development.
Edit: Listening back to the mixes from tracking saxophone today, I'd say maybe a weird/awesome cross between Black Sabbath and Miles Davis. Without sounding like either of them.

Back when we started it was inspired by the instrumental portions of a live Clutch show. It's morphed quite a bit in the subsequent 14 years. Wow. That's a long time.

The perfect top 5.
thank you. those are truly my musical heroes.
I have been kicking around:
"The jimi fripp carlos zappa house of worship and tomfoolarena" as a studio name for some time already
The Fripp Offs
Disma, Incantation, Jungle Rot, Ringworm... Dead in the Dirt
you like ringworm? i just saw one of the ringworm dudes. he is a glassblower and has a little head shop, right by where 252 tattoo is/was.
ringworm was always a raging show. those guys had so much energy
edit: im starting to wonder whether it wasn't the 252 tattoo guy. meh.everyone was in ringworm. so probably that whole strip of shops and the bar are probably all ringworm guys haha
Quick off the top of my head Eyehategod, Grief, Winter, Acid King, Thergothon, Venom, Bathory, Autopsy, Evoken, Isis!
In no order: Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, (early) Metallica, Judas Priest, Danzig, AC/DC
We should open up this thread to non-original music. It's too exclusionary as is.
For example, a huge (huge, HUUUUGE!) influence of mine is AC/DC, when I'm playing AC/DC riffs.
Same here—what a coinkydinky!
