NT: What influences your music the most?

JPG: Your past-- it has to be there somewhere. I think what’s influenced me the most in terms of artists are the ones that break boundaries. They go above and beyond themselves and their egos and make music that is interesting and that pushes the envelope in someway.

I love people like Peter Gabriel, Radiohead and Lindsey Buckingham. They’re more than just pop; they’re trying to do something crazy and weird. I like the idea of people that subvert people’s expectations of them.

In perfect Company. It's the same reason why I like al three artists.

and this thread having only 50 views in the course of the whole day tells you everything you need to know about musical taste of most peeps frequenting these boards.

I like some radiohead, but not enough to know what to say. :shrug: :p

I wish Lindsey was more like Michael Bolton.

and there it is in a nutshell...great quote-

The Lindsey Fans at this end...Agree !!! (*0*)

Haha! Good lord, I'm so thankful that he isn't.

We Lindsey Fan's Agree ....100% C.

I love St Lucia... but it's interesting to hear him say he is into artsy envelope-pushing artists. He makes beautiful music for sure... but it's mostly very typical electronica & rehashed 80s pop in nature. In other words, he's not doing much sonic experimentation himself. :shrug:
