Cliff Burton, Leonardo da Vinci, Stephen Fry and Alistair Crowley.
My first and major musical love is and will remain Metallica. And in no particular order... Megadeth**, Anthrax**, Trivium**, Iron Maiden*, Children of Bodom**, Cradle of Filth, Mudvayne, the 69 Eyes, Roadrunner United, Slipknot*, Avenged Sevenfold, Soulfly*, Motley Crue, Slayer**, Alter Bridge*, Deathstars, Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Black Label Society, Black Sabbath*, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Revolver*, In Flames*, Machine Head, Nine Inch Nails, Pantera, Malice Mizer, X-Japan and many many more I've probably forgotten. I would have put Motorhead* but I'm too scared of Lemmy, ditto Society 1* and Dirt. Stars mean that I've either seen the band, or have tickets to see them. I'm also getting more and more into the blacker side of metal - Emperor*, Wintersun*, Amon Amarth*, hell, let's even throw some Finntroll* in there...I also like a lot of old rock, old punk (real punk, not the currently-fashionable whiny nonsense), classical, and various other scattered bits and pieces. I'll listen to anything once, but not necessarily twice.
Lord of the Rings, Donnie Darko, anything with a clever plot, anything adapted from a book by Poe, anything horror, especially anything Asian horror or anything Hammer horror, anything which will make me think.
I usually don't think a great deal of the TV - so much of it is made for people with an IQ in the minus numbers, so partonising and condescending and plain moronic, but there are a few things I like. Not many.
I'll read anything that comes my way, I'm voracious with literature. My favourites are Tolkein, Milton, Poe, Lawrence, Lovecraft... and so on.
Philosophically and classically, Leonardo da Vinci - he was everything he wasn't allowed to be, he was a true genuis. And musically, Cliff Burton, just because - something about him speaks to me, and that's reason enough.
