Dylan rules. Cat Stevens, from the same era is pretty good too.
There have been two major artists that have changed my life dramatically.
- Everything of Jeff Buckley's.
- Alex Lloyd's Black the Sun.
And most recently, The Shins.
I don't think music has changed anything besides my taste in music.
Don't forget "Life on Mars" was a good Bowie track. I love his Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album personally. But I love most of his music.Quote:

I don't think I've ever heard EJ's cover of Piano Man... Elton's pretty good too but Billy is closer to my heart cause he was my first intro into music that wasn't old country and church hymns.
God I love Simon and Garfunkle, "Kathy's Song", "Flowers Never Bend in the Rainfall", "The Boxer", and who could ever forget "America"Quote:

to look for America...
Absolutely. I first heard it in that movie, "Almost Famous", when his sister leaves home; loved it ever since. It's a really, really beautiful song :-) <3Quote:

Hello darkness my old friend...
Sounds of silence also rules. :D
:love: Weee! I thought I was the only one that liked "oldies" here. Now I know I have lots of company :love:
PS: Talking about Bowie, did anyone see Aqua Teen Hunger Force do the skit of "Ground Control To Major Tom" ? I was lol'ing out loud :p

Led Zeppelin taught Mitch how to rock!
Seize the Day by Carolyn Arends
Final verse
One Thing I notice
wherever I wander;
everyones got a dream they can follow
or squander.
You Can do what you will
With the days you are given
I'm trying to spend mine on the business
of living
So I'm singing my songs,
of a ratty old stage
You can laugh if you want,
I'll still say...
Seize the day
Seize whatever you can
The days they slip by
just like hourglass sand
Seize the day.
Pray for grace from gods hand
Than nothing will stand in your way.
Seize the day.
And as a fan of Don Quixote I've always been a fan of The impossible dream.
To Dream, The impossible dream.
To fight, The unbeatable foe.
To Bear, with unbearable sorrow.
To Run, Where the brave dare not go.
To Right, The unrightable wrong.
To Love, Pure and chaste from afar
To Try, when your arms are too weary
to Reach, that unreachable star.
Other great that have touched and inspired me.

Two Linkin Park songs, Pushing Me Away and Points Of Authority, made me realize that I was spending too much time in the servitude of others and that I had to start taking control of my own life.
I would have to say hearing Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" at a Velvet Revolver concert. That single song got me started listening to Pink Floyd which in turn got me really into music as a whole, then I started playing guitar and have been loving it ever since. So I give thanks to that single song for all the music I listen to nowadays.
The Rasmus led me to stumble upon the wonders of Finnish music. If it wasn't for "In The Shadows" way back in '03 Id probably be an entirely different person.
For that, I am greatful :]
Those lyrics bring a chill to me until today! :love: :love: :love:Quote:

No, but I do remember the Venture Bros. episode that reinacts the final verse:D They even have a character named Action Man, who may be a reference to "Ashes to Ashes" Bowie's other song about Major Tom.Quote:
