Most Influential list of Artists/ Songs
1. http://www.lynyrdskynyrd.com/ - Lynyrd Skynyrd
They are one of my first and favorite influences, I remember coming home from school each day walking in to the sound of "whats that smell" and my dad working away on computers or book keeping.

2. Baha Men - Who let the dogs out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkuu0Lwb5EM
I don't like it much now, but when I was a kid my parents bought me there album for Christmas one year, just because I sang it around the house so much, every other song was questionable to me at the time, but who let the dogs out always held true with sending shivers down my back lol
3. http://www.blacksabbath.com/ - Black Sabbath
I think everyone needs this building block of musical genius in there repertoire! The og heavy metal band, and you can't get that catchy song iron man out of your head, especially while the billdozer is playing foot ball to it on king of the hill! -http://youtu.be/9gbXD-ngvzI?t=2m8s

, I heard Eddie Bravo talk about it on the Joe Rogan Experience with Deadmau5 -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjbEWvtsNcI very awesome stuff!
5. http://www.deadmau5.com/ - Deadmau5
And this brings me to Deadmau5, very awesome music, He was the first to get me into electronic, with the same song from the previous video, Ghosts n Stuff! originally Ghosts n Shit! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ArUgxtlJs

Stair way to heaven is another building block that artists should have in there listening experience, great song, simplistic yet awesome! This is one of my dad's favorites, I played it at his funeral as well, no one else really wanted to, but I wasn't backing down, and it's what he would have wanted!
7. http://www.kidcudi.com/ - Kid Cudi
A lot of my friends use to put on different rap artists while we were hanging or partying, my tastes usually never fell in line with there's but it did with this one!
8. http://www.primusville.com/ - Primus
Primus sucks! That's what fans of them tend to say, I watched a youtube video of them one day and some one commented saying they sucked, then I replied to that comment saying that they were in fact good, something to the effect of les claypool being a musical genius, but then he replied and said that's there thing, I researched just incase, there seems to be a general consensus though lol
9. http://www.wizkhalifa.com/ - Wiz Khalifa
I think I heard him on the radio, not sure. When I first started tokin though, On My Level was my favorite song to listen to during! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmP7TYtDVUU
10. http://www.drakeofficial.com/ - Drake
His best song was "Started From the Bottom" in my opinion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RubBzkZzpUA My friend Avante listened to him a lot, kinda grew on me, but started from the bottom was good the first time listening. I feel like some songs you can come back to later, and they sound better, I think songs just have time to seem to gain context, when it has been sitting in the back of your mind for a while.
11. http://myfunkvolume.com/artist/hopsin/ - Hopsin
I think he sounds a lil like Eminem, I like that he creates his own beats as well, he has a few videos of during the making http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlrcuIiHNOs that is straight up talent! He inspires me more than anything!
12. http://www.sbtrkt.com/ - Sbtrkt
Another great artist, opened my view on electronic music some, another band that grew on my after a couple listens, this one was odd though, I liked it from the beginning, but I came back to it a while later after forgetting about it, Ill!
13. http://www.therealtechn9ne.com/ - Techn9ne

15. http://www.toolband.com/ - ToolRecommended by Chris as well, I like them even more now that Maynard James Keenan had a couple podcasts on JRE 246 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pib3EYT9yc, and JRE 412 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFbws0IIqqg

18. http://www.whitechapelband.com/ - Whitechapel
My cousin is friends with the singer, I liked them b4 I new that, my friend Kieth showed them to me, but all I have to say is this is just about the only screamo type music that is as heavy as this that I like so far!

Just a genius finger picker you should listen to, Introduced to me y my friend Andrew, who is also an amazing guitarist lol

21. http://prostheticrecords.com/?p=499 - The Animals As Leaders
Another band from Andrew, he said there the best composers of today, so I took a listen, I pretty much agree with this, except I don't think you can confidently call anyone the best, in almost anything lol let alone something subjective as music.
22. Sleep Party People - I'm not human at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFUzvbkEvRk&list=FLiCVZKo-Y9bpvQ6SS6qW1tg&index=9
