Jesus and/or The Jesus Lizard
I could say all the obvious ones, I mean of course I am a fan of a bunch of bands I am friends with, but for now I will go with all of the weird ones. Dillinger Escape Plan, Modest Mouse, Curtis Mayfield, The Pixies, Prince, The Cure, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Earth Wind & Fire, Alkaline Trio, The Dismemberment Plan, Elvis Costello, Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Weezer, Piebald, Nirvana, Ben Folds Five, At The Drive In, whatever I am tired of typing here.
