I don't know, I mean I don't really care what bands they listen to as long as I enjoy listening to them. I like pretty much all of the bands/artists they listed as obvious or as "credible" as they may be, and I'd be willing to wager that the reason RyGo and his less famous but no less talented, I'm sure bandmate put them down as their influences is because they are... well, influenced by them, enjoy listening to them also and generally didn't think too much about the extent to which their names in a seperated by commas sequence on a band blurb would cause a favourable/outrageous reaction. And if they did then they are no more guilty of doing so than anyone else on the planet that makes music and fills out that section on myspace because everyone thinks about how they want to appear etc. If what they're guilty of is not choosing shit bands to be influenced by then I am confused as to why that would make anyone more credible than the next. And if not shit bands then perhaps less obvious ones? I reckon obvious influences are obvious because they're good enough to influence a great deal of the music making population.
What really annoys me, and I'm being a raging hypocrite given my text above, are artists who put literary top trumps in their influence section. I don't know why but I can't get behind that.
