Too many to mention.
My exact opposite... so we could trade lives long enough to walk a mile in it's shoes, then run back barefoot.
Musicians with soul and a purpose transcending their instruments, then there are songs where the instruments themselves speak as if perfectly strung together lyrics melodically reaching for that ever so punctuated climax, also lyrics that transcend your average run of the mill phrases... the ones that you don't just listen to... but the ones that allow you to feel the emotions of the singer(s) and there after echo to the deepest reaches of your mind embracing your soul... giving you purpose... in other words, music that can go full circle....
The ones that don't make you feel idiotic half way through remembering the half ass (mass produced Hollywood "if made, it will be an embarrassment to what everything films should stand for, but it probably would rack up in the box office") plots, which in turn causes your tongue to shrivel back into your mouth, right before you get to the part with the surprise Corey Feldman appearance... and also spinal tap... just because i still think "Suck My Love Pump" would sound good played out of an amplifier rigged to go to eleven.
All the works that inspired me to be a writer in the first place... and the authors, poets, and philosophers that till this very day inspire me to get up out of bed and shake off the morn, to feel, think, write, and strive to be greater than i was yesterday!
The ones who wouldn't care if i posted up their names here in this little blue box, as if they where some specimens on the slap of ridicule and criticism... for if they did, i wouldn't admire them
