Everyone has bands/artists that have shook them to the core, that, even if you don't listen to them anymore, you still acknowledge the profound impact they had on your life, whether through the music, lyrics or both! So...who are your musical heros? Mine are, in no particular order;
Manic Street Preachers
The Smiths/Morrissey
Steve Vai
Metallica
Dream Theater
Joe Satriani
Allan Holdsworth
Shawn Lane
Miles Davies
John Coltrane
Alex de Grassi
So lets know who influenced you! (This could also be a cool way of discovering a new band or artist)
Cheers

Keeping in line with things to discover, here's a list of short picks for some rock history  :My short picks for films, journalists, and DVD's
Dave Burrluck, one of the UK's most credible and specialized journalists
Films Quadrophenia, The Wall, School of Rock -yes I know but if
you want to hear Black Sabbath, ACDC, Led Zep and laugh...plus see Jack
Black

Film Directors, Cameron Crowe. At 15 he wrote for Rolling Stone.
His wife and often music director is no other than Nancy Wilson of the
hard rock women duo, Heart. Check out all fims. Specially, Almost
Famous, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky. -Excellent soundtracks of some of the
most popular rock songs ever.

Guitar players non guitar players like me like David Gilmour, The Edge, Angus Young, Jimmy Page, Pete TownshendBass players : Watch the DVD, Last Supper with Geezer Butler, he plays his Vigier Excess Bass on this one.Finally, just saw this on Rolling Stone, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Haven't seen it. Vigier supports music, all types of music !  Have a great day
